Yesterday's project was a gardening apron for my daughter. I didn't follow a pattern since I have a huge pattern-phobia. Those thin sheets of puzzle like patterns seriously make my heart race a little, go ahead and laugh but they freak me out. Usually when I sew clothing, I look at Pintrest and make a sketch of what the plan is. I bought 100% linen in brown. This apron only took a 1/4 of a yard.
The end result reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. This spring my toddler will be helping feed the chickens and water the garden and this apron will be great for that.
It looks much cuter on her than the floor. ;) Next up, my own garden apron in a tan shade of 100% linen.
In chicken news, we started with 4 hens this past fall and despite have a bitter cold winter, they all survived.
The weather here hovered between -20F and 10F for quite a while but between a sturdy coop and hot drinking water every couple of hours, they thrived. If anyone would have told me 5 years ago that I'd be a mother of 1 toddler, 2 dogs, and 4 hens today, I would have had them committed. Having a daughter really brought out my inner hippy/farmer/green self ;)
Has your inner hippy come out as well since having kids?
