My Byrd House: Birthday Giveaway!

Birthday Giveaway!

OK, I promised that I would post this. It is my birthday today. I am now 3 times as old as my oldest child. To celebrate I am giving away one of my new Jeans aprons. I stayed up late last night making one but didn't get a picture taken yet. I will get that as soon as I can today. It is FREEZING outside so it may be a little bit before the pictures get loaded.
So, until I get that done I wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to post and get in on the drawing. What you have to do is leave a comment on this post and I will pick one of you at midnight tonight and post the winner. If your profile is one that won't let me e-mail you directly then you are going to have to come back here tomorrow morning and find out who won. If I can't contact that winner with-in a day, I will pick another one. :o)

Finally got a minute!

I used my one and only Amy Butler piece of fabric. I love the little bit of blue in it.

Here is the pocket detail.

Terri Fisher said...: Happy Birthday, Lucy! I am new to your blog, but am very impressed by your work! I love anything handmade, and am especially partial to aprons these days...I have started baking more now that I am staying home with my children, and find that they really do come in handy! (And I can't sew worth beans, so there's no chance I'll make one for myself!) Hope your day is extra-special!
