When I visited the Fabric Depot in Portland a few weeks ago, I found some fabric that totally reminded me of my friend Wendy. She has always been into vintage prints and retro stuff. This weekend I sewed a little bucket purse and apron for her (can you see the rickrack?)

Here’s what it looks like on (sorry about the blurriness):

My in-laws came over yesterday, and we all just hung around the house. My father-in-law watched ESPN, Peter wandered around putting awnings onto the house and talking to his parents, and my mother-in-law painted these tiny little wooden figurines for an advent calendar she is making for her great grandson:

I also finished knitting one Christmas gift. Now I need to get back on track with the candy-colored Bucket o’ Chic, since it has gotten very, very cold here (well, for California, anyway), and I need to keep my noggin’ warm!

Cute! Wish I could sew. Hurry and finish your bucket o chic so I’ll have a good fizzy example to work off of.
🙂 I just got my yarn yesterday, so I’ll start soon! I love blue fizz. yay!!
I love looking at the items you sew. You have such a knack for finding great fabric!
What a cute ensemble! I hope Wendy has a cute June Cleaver-esque outfit to complement it. Great job! Can’t wait to see bucket-o-fizz. You and hubby can celebrate it’s completion with a delcious blanc du noir champagne. The wine section of the Chron recommended that as a good pairing with Thanksgiving food items. Uh like we didn’t know that already…
Oh poo!! advent calender. I completely forgot that I need to find 24 gifts that are less than 1 inch tall for Brooke’s calender. Poo poo poo. Now there’s something else I have to do this week!!
Love the retro ensemble. I still use my grandmother’s cotton aprons from the 1940s and they have a similar “look.” They’re getting old and a bit frayed but I still love them!
I love the fabrics at retro depot. The one you picked goes perfectly in an apron! Rickrack is a nice touch, too.
Looking forward to seeing your bucket hat!
nice sewing on the apron and purse! i’ll have to check out the depot soon to start some projects.
Oooh, love that fabric! Sounds like you and Peter’s folks spent a cozy day crafting at home. Can you believe this cold spell we’re having?? It actually feels and looks like winter today!
I looove the apron! I hope you made one for yourself too.
