A few projects

My neighbor (Karyn) and I decided we would refurbish our dressers. This one may look familiar to some of you as it used to house or movies and television. After contemplating on whether or not to paint, I just decided to cover the drawers with coordinating fabric I had and distress it a bit. It turned out cute I think and will be used as a new dresser/changing table for me and the newest Smith addition.

Recently I posted that I had made a few wallets and promised to post a picture. Here is one. So far they are all various colors and patterns. I have a boutique I am gearing up for in Vegas the first of November so I will be busy making several more for that. I have enjoyed the sewing immensely.

Too much?

I could use the lovely fall colors as my excuse for the large amount of orange in this apron. Or I could say that it is for Halloween. But I would be lying. I mean, when I originally bought this material for an apron, I knew I was looking for something orange. The recipient of this apron loves orange. This much orange? I thought to myself it would look great. The black trim was more classy looking than gray and white would too easily stain. So what do you think? Is it too much orange, too Halloween(ish)??? FYI my camera is on the fritz. It seem to have issues with focusing and with using the flash, which taints the color of the photo a tad. The orange is vivid, but not quite as much as the photo. Still, what do you think?

Giveaway!

Yes I said giveaway! Our first ever giveaway on the Smithalicious blog!

I don't know if it has become fall in your part of the woods, but it certainly has here. Long sleeves and jackets are now a part of our attire once again. I can't say I am disapointed. With fall brings warmth to my heart with lovely smells and beautiful colors. Fall cooking is amazing, whether it is a loaf of pumpkin bread, or a warm bowl of soup. We have had soup for dinner twice this week. I love soup.
