What I got in the Apron Swap

Ok people.... I got my package from Amyracinrose and I was DELIGHTED!!! she made me not one but TWO aprons because she said the one she originally made for me she was not happy about... well I tried it on and the sewing WAS WONDERFUL but it was really really big... but i am totally pleased with it anyways because 1) the fabric is cute 2) Monday I am taking it to my grandmas and making her fix it ( I can fix it myself... but lets leave this one to the G-ma) 3) she used the EXACT pattern that I wanted 4) its like wearing a dress that i can wipe my hands on... or boogers... or whatever else comes my way 4) its reversible!!! Plus I am totally excited because it covers A LOT so it will be perfect for cooking, crafting, painting, etc etc... anyways Here it is I pinned it how I wanted it to look

and here is the back... its a smock apron... I love it

SO yeah pretty much every night when I come home i put it on... my mom laughs because it still is so big but I don't care... because I love it and I put all my crafting stuff in the pockets and my phone... and this super awesome book on tape little machine... (i'll have to post about that later) and its just wonderful! She also made me other wonderful things!

How cute is the little birdie! plus the pot holder is sooo cute! love the bias tape

Then she made me these vintage spool ornaments! I was so spoiled!!!
vintage spool, ornament

So when I posted these pictures on craftster a few gals asked me to do a tutorial on my blog about the way I curl my hair... I was shocked hahah this day it was sssooo curly. I actually hated it especially since the brown still is in the bottom... so maybe a hair tutorial will be in the works... It actually is really easy and 100% UNGLAMOROUS pretty much I look like a grandma at night... well... yeah... at the moment I am trying to find another way to do it. I am trying to figure out how to pin curl it where it is to my liking... because pin curls are wwwaayyy easier to sleep on.... maybe I'll try it tonight at Juans apartment.... hehehe... he says " BROOK ITS NOT 1950'S ITS 2008" well bitch... TOO BAD! IM SLEEPING WITH CURLERS AND A HAIRNET!

katie: I know isn't it sooo cute!!!

sewamy: I will post a tutorial on how I do my hair... but it actually is really easy

Rachel: pin curls are a bitch... but I was a champ at them at beauty school. on myself... not so much... my hair actually takes less time then it does to blow dry it... and as far as being a blonde... I hope you don't have any black dye in your hair... or you will be copper for awhile... that or have major breakage... beauty is pain... People say I look like gwen stefani, marilyn monroe, etc... it really is a compliment but I really think its just the blonde hair brown eyes and red lipstick... make up is my friend... maybe I will do a tutorial: how to look like Brook... hair and make up...

rubyredruca: I am so lucky... I love it all!

sherezada: I know I totally scored! posting a hair tutorial in the next week... its so EASY!

Claudia: I am so glad that you like my blog! I have been admiring all your work on flickr for a LONG time! and yes, do a swap they are ssoo fun and so addicting! as far as my hair... its so easy it just looks like its a lot of work because its curls curls curls.

Frenzycat: thank you, so much!! you guys are all so sweet!

Patty: no prob ! sorry if it was sort of confusing , I was typing on my I phone... so editing is a pain!
