The finished apron!
YAY! I have finsihed the apron for the apron swap! Today I POSTED it, so it is on it’s way to the United States! I’ll let you know who the recipient is once she’s let me know she’s got it! Mean while, here’s some pictures…

I’m really quite proud of my effort, considering I’d never made an apron before! Of course, I’ve made other things, but this had to be especially neat!!
This weekend I’m planning on putting together a little tutorial for you on how to make an awesome phone sock/cover. So stay tuned for that early next week. I am SO glad it’s Friday. This week I have worked an entire extra day is overtime, but Dad (who’s also my boss) gave us all a half an hour off this afternoon, which was really nice of him. It’s a perfect way to end a Friday! Luke is tired, and asleep in bed at the moment, because it was Shavuot last night/today, which meant all night praying and studying the Torah & Acts. A big night, and I think I’ll do it as well next year. Hopefully in time I will get all the Jewish festivals under my belt. They currently come up on me unexpectedly!
I am currently extremely tempted to purchase some cute fabrics from Aunt Beas Sewing Basket, so I’m hoping off the computer now!!
Here’s a slideshow of my apron photos…
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!
Name Change…
I’m thinking of changing the name of my blog. Any suggestions? Everyone has such beautiful, crafty names, and I feel like I need one! I would still keep taliacarbis.com, just have an actual blog name, like “Talia’s Craft Adventures” but not anything like that…
I SERIOUSLY need your help, so please leave a comment with a quick suggestion!
Gardening & Birthdays…
Did you know I’m part of an apron swap? We’re making garden aprons! I am nearly finished mine- I’ve got the basic apron shape done and just have to put on some ties, and some pockets! I was thinking about it today, and was therefore inspired to go out and do a bit in my own garden!
Remember when Luke made me my super pot? Well, since then I’ve planted up all my other herbs into tyres (as well as some in the pot Luke made), and straberries and what not in the back garden bed. Nanna gave me a stack of beautiful cane mulch for Christmas (I know, SHAME it has taken my nearly 6 months to do something with it!!), and while Luke is out shopping for my birthday presents (!!!) with Hay & Mon, I decided to invest the time is getting rid of weeds, and using up the much!
Also, it is my birthday on Wednesday, and Luke organised for my family and a few of our friends (unfortunately not all- it was pretty booked out) to go down to the Jazz club in Brisbane on Friday night. If you have not been (and live in QLD) then you MUST go, it is absolutely the best place ever!
And I love my Mum & Dad. They are so cute and in love, and it makes me happy to go out with them. I could seriously just chat with them for ages and not get bored.
