Trying new things...

Monday I did something I have never done before in my crafting world I made an apron with out a pattern just flowing the measurements that The pattern writer wrote down. (now I have made up patterns on my own in fact I do it all the time but I never measure) So this was completely out of my comfort zone but I liked it a lot. It kinda gave me a buzz to be able to fallow a few measurements and come up with the most cutest apron ever. The apron that I made was a test apron for an amazing talented apron maker. She wrote an e pattern book and asked a few of us if we could test it for her and i was lucky enough to do just that. I will show you all the apron tomorrow I have to get some crayons and hopefully the sun will be good today.


I have been drooling over these purses that LOLA again makes wanting to make them but scared to try because of all the measuring that was involved. Now that I know I can do it I will definitely be makeing a purse this weekend.. She has the greatest patterns on her blog. The tutorials are great!! I think I am going to start with her Angel purse it is super cute and has been calling my name for a while.. This is a picture that I stole from her site..

She also has the Keisha bag that really want to make for my trip to the real world. Hence Utah to shop with my should be sister Bernie Jo.. I thought it would be fun to make each of us one..

So tell me about the things you are scared to try or something you have done that was completely out of your comfort zone. I would love to hear..
