Little Red Riding Hood Apron

My mom commissioned me to make an apron for her sister, Nidza, in Puerto Rico. While looking together at Japanese import fabric on etsy we came across this adorable fabric. My mom said her sister's childhood doll was Little Red Riding Hood. So, here it is! I cannot wait until she sees it!

I used a pattern from the book "A is for Apron". Love that book!

quote of the day

I ran across this quote while perusing the links from the whipup.net site....... I. really. like. it.

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -- Dr. Seuss

Hope you're having a great weekend...... (;

MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche...

They don't have time to make it.

Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils

Are probably in the sandbox.

Real Mothers often have sticky floors,

Filthy ovens and happy kids.

Real Mothers know that dried play dough

Doesn't come out of carpets.

Real Mothers don't want to know what

The vacuum just sucked up.

Real Mothers sometimes ask 'Why me?'

And get their answer when a littleVoice says, 'Because I love you best.'

Real Mothers know that a child's growth

Is not measured by height or years or grade...

It is marked by the progression of

Mommy to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it!

35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, Because that is the doorway to her heart, The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,

and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

Happy Mother's Day!
