Earlier this week, I purchased two child's sized aprons. Their blank slates have been staring at me square in the eye. I've been thinking of a way to monogram them...and today I got around to it.
I've always wanted to try my hand at embroidery, but honestly the word "embroidery" just sounded too scary. But, I looked up it up on Google and got some quick beginners instructions...and there I embarked on the quest. (By the way, aren't you impressed that this picture of me that Roundabout took with my camera?!)

It wasn't that bad! I actually really liked it...and these little aprons were begging for some embroidery lovin'.

They were done in no time! I am hiding them from the kids...I bet they'll get a kick out of them the next time we are cooking!
