Runaway October

Right, I need another dead­line like I need another 2 year old. Seri­ously. But this one is right up my alley and noth­ing to stress over if I miss it. Yay!

The incred­i­bly tal­ented Orange Flower has cre­ated a chal­lenge to post one macro photo a day for every day of April. Sounds super sim­ple right? There’s even a flickr group. Make sure to check it out and def­i­nitely join us if you’d like it. It’s already got me look­ing closer at things and I’ve got a lot of ideas. Now if only I could keep the dog still long enough…

Here’s mine for today. I cheated and took a pic­ture of my com­pleted apron for the Flirty Apron Swap. I don’t want to post the whole apron in case my part­ner is look­ing around. If you must see it, check out my flickr account — it’s buried in there.

As is nor­mal for me I’ve pro­cras­ti­nated and took my sweet time on some­thing. So now I have this week­end and this week­end only to com­plete the apron I’m mak­ing for my swap partner.

I think my biggest issue was not know­ing my part­ner. I hemmed and hawed about my fab­ric choices for much much too long. I think I ended up adding about 6 yards to my fab­ric stash that I decided on and then changed my mind. I’ve final­ized all of the col­ors, but as is cus­tom­ary, I didn’t buy enough. Thank­fully it’s a solid and I should be able to find a suit­able piece

At least I haven’t received my apron yet. Then I’d feel really bad. Wish me luck this weekend.

BUT! Once I get this done I can move on with my springy swap with Nicky! Yay!
