Wreath Revealed

I believe that this is the finished product.  I like the unfinished edges and the free form.  The grape vines for the wreath came from my sister's fence; the neighbor's grapes are out of control and were flowing over her fence.  I was able to get enough vines for 2 wreaths.  I will make a second one just for fun.

 This is supposed to be a flower bud.
 I used some beads and some buttons as the centers of the flowers.
 I didn't finish the edges of the petals as the fabric doesn't fray very easily and wont be "washed" so it should stay nice just the way it is.
 I'd like to take credit for the bow but I can't. My friend Sarah made it.

This seems to be finished.  I can't think of anything else that could/should go on it.  I hope she likes it.  It was made with love just for Susie Welt.  :)

Jeans Apron

Being silly...she is such a sweety!
I trimmed the edges and made the neck strap and ties out of the pocket material. I had some matching green lying around, so I topped the pocket with it and added lace. My daughter really likes it but it's not for her.
When I cut the second one out, I actually trimmed the top like the directions told me too. I had used the back pockets off my jeans for the first apron, so I used some scraps to make the pockets of the 2nd.
I later tucked the top flaps in and stitched.
First apron. Not a pleasant photo of me, but the blog wouldn't let me delete it, so here it is.

The blog I found it on is here:
