Chef's Apron

It is my aim to try and do a little crafting every day this week, even if I only make one card per day! This is possible because DD has unexpectedly gone to spend the week being spoilt rotten by her Nan (my Mum - hi Mum if you're reading this!!!) We dropped her off on our way home from our nephew's Christening yesterday, which was a lovely day.

So, I had a busy morning dog walking and food shopping (ugh!) then after a spot of lunch I headed into the Crafty Corner and made a card. Just one (how unlike me!) However it is a unique kind of a card, so one is fine! The fact that I am rather pleased with how it turned out is also good!


It is for my cousin James (no, really?) who is a Chef, for his birthday in August. I find men's cards so difficult, so whilst wondering what would be appropriate for James I came up with the idea of an apron. I also made a couple of kitchen utensils, a wooden spoon and a spatula and popped them in the apron pocket along with a little sentiment ticket. I did contemplate digging out my sewing machine and actually sewing the pocket on, but that seemed like a lot of effort for one card - I also think that once I start sewing on my cards, I might become a little addicted!
