Christmas in July

I just finished my first set of Christmas presents.

Yeah yeah, it's July, but have I told you I've had a lot of time on my hands lately? I've been doing a lot of reading {any good book suggestions would be appreciated} and a lot of sewing. I figured, why not get a jump on Christmas, right? With the baby coming in November I'm thinkin' I won't have a lot of time to make gifts and such, and homemade gifts are my fave.

Wanna know what else is my new fave?
Kiddo aprons with matching chef hats.
Pretty darn adorable if I do say so myself.

I really want to get Mckinlay a play kitchen this year. And know that she has the apron and hat, it's pretty much a done deal.

Wanna make one too?
chef hat
apron

Now to decided which one to keep and which one to give away....

  1. Those are super cute!!! Mckinlay just blew all those professional chefs outta the water style wise ;-) I wish I could do stuff like that

  2. So adorable!!! :) BTW, I'm reading a book called 'The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane' that I really like - it's a mystery novel about a Harvard grad student researching the Salem Witch Trials. Having just moved from back east, you might like it! :) I'm enjoying it so far!

  6. How cute are you, Megs...So creative and so organized. What darling aprons! Love your fabric choices. I also agree that you will not be doing too many creative tasks once that baby comes in November. So excited for you and Ty!
