{an apron for lois}

...
Today is the birthday of my dear friend Lois.
Lois is awesome.  Lois deserved a pressie in reward for living another year of being awesome.

 After the making of my bluebell frock, she mentioned that she loved the fabric and would like an apron made out of it.  How terribly convenient that her birthday was coming up.

 Also used was some more of that Christmas time MIL stash fabric I got and a little lace eyelet trim thrown in to boot.

 I hope this apron will serve her well.  In addition to her amazingness as a theatre stage manager (who's exploits you can follow at loisbackstage.com) she is a cupcake baker extraordinaire, and an incredibly generous one, at that!  If there is an occasion, great or small, she will be there with cupcakes  themed accordingly.  This is the girl who made CHAMPAGNE CUPCAKES for our NYE gathering! ...With edible gold stars on top!

I am doing an inaccurate modeling job here as we are not the same measurements and I had to guesstimate fitting this to the right size.   Calling her in for a fitting would have spoiled the surprise, perhaps.

Happy birthday, bud!   Many more great ones to come.
