The Munckins and I do a massive weekend of Christmas Cookie baking each year & I've decided to gift the little kitchen helpers with their own aprons this year.

Seriously want some of that freezer paper - not sure they sell anything like it in Australia, will have to do some investigating.

Really, anything "blue" or "red" will do for me, so it's probably best not to put for the effort.<br /><br />Tonight's to-do: Trace out that pattern. Yippee!<br /><br />Oh. And put button holes in the Sketchbook shirt that has been waiting for them for weeks. They always make me a bit nervous as they're not easy to correct if I mess up!Janellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11092893864737058248noreply@blogger.com
