Well, that would be Sofia. After a few bad weeks I finally got around to finishing off my apron for Sarah's swap (quite late) and Sofia informs me that it has arrived safe and sound. So now I can show it off.
Even though Sofia's blog is in Portuguese, you can't help but tell that she loves butterflies. So I wanted to include butterflies somehow into her apron. I found a great vintage table runner on etsy that had the prettiest butterfly embroidery on it and I went from there. With my laundry obsession in full flight I also knew I wanted to make her a peg apron. And this is the end result. I loved how it turned out and have even considered doing a tutorial for another one. Anyone interested?
These aren't the best photos. It was an overcast day when I finally finished it and I just wanted to hurry up and get it in the post! Hopefully Sofia will have some better ones on her blog.
Thanks again Sarah for organising such a fun swap!
Firstly, thank you for all your sweet messages and emails over the last 2 weeks offering condolences and checking in to see if I was alright. It's been a bit of a tough year, first losing my dog, my job, and now my beautiful cat. Max was with me for close to 16 years so to say I feel a little lost without him is an understatement. It will get better though.
So, moving on. I wanted to show off my gorgeous apron that I received from Sofia, all the way from Portugal, as part of Sarah's apron swap. Sofia sent me an apron with a beautiful design that is very typical of northern Portugal that she then embroidered over some of the design, her stitching is simply divine. Just gorgeous.
She also sent matching shopping bag, tea towel and potholder as well, so generous. Thank you Sofia, it is just fabulous, and thank you Sarah for organising such a fun swap. I was a little late in sending my apron to Sofia, so I will show off what I sent her when I know she has received it.
