Time Off For Good Behavior

I have been keeping myself so busy lately with projects and Etsy posting that I decided to take a little time out to enjoy the nice weather.  

Spring seems to have sprung here in Michigan and I have been enjoying all the sunshine, smells, and sounds with glee.  And having fun seeing it again for the first time with my son Payton.

Last year he was too little to understand but this year at 18 months old he is super excited to be able to go outside and play in our yard and at the park... he is especially enjoying the slide.  

But the last couple of days I have been yearning to make something, the sewing machine is calling me back with her siren song... CREATE, CREATE, CREATE.  So it's back to work for me (well fun really not work).  

I opened up a shop at Dawanda a while back and really haven't done much with it, so I am going to be posting my new goodies to that shop for a while.  My Etsy shop is pretty packed right now with lots of super sweet goodies.  If you haven't already check it out here.

Vintage Finds

Over the weekend Mr. Payton and I trucked out in the rain to an Antique show in Howell.  I had heard that there would be vintage aprons to be had and could not resist.  

You see I have a thing for vintage linens and aprons, I try to be good and not buy too much but every once in a while I splurge.   My love of vintage aprons is actually what got me started on Sweet Things.  I loved them so much I wanted to create my own, but I still like to collect.

So here they are my finds, this super sweet sheer pink and blue apron with matching pink clip on earrings (also vintage). 

Also I picked up some vintage handkerchiefs as well and am playing with some ideas on how to incorporate them in a sewing project, maybe an apron.  I'll keep you up-dated :)
