Birthday Aprons (PIX)

[rebbetzin]

I like to make aprons as gifts for my grandchildren. These are the latest ones. Jonah (5 yrs old) whose nickname is "Donut." He says his favorite color is pink. So... I figured I'd make the decorations on his apron doughnuts, with pink frosting and chocolate sprinkles.

I just finished Junie's apron. She will be 10 tomorrow, goodness how fast they are growing up!! She says her favorite colors are blue and orange. So... I hope she will like this combination of fabrics and trims.

I forgot to make a label for Jonah's apron!! I will have to make him one this week.

Those would go very well on Etsy if you're feeling ambitious.

Thanks for the post; it brought back forgotten but very pleasant memories of my grandmothers.

You do realize that those are going to make them cry one day in the distant future, right?

Yes, I treasure the little things I got from my grandma. I have a shelf in my kitchen with some little ceramic toys she gave me when I was about three years old. I miss my grandparents... and my parent too for that matter..
