tie one on progress, originally uploaded by lixolux.

so this is the first month that im making an apron for tie one on and its a dishtowel challenge and so i have my dishtowel and in what could have been an easy quick project its become a 2.5 week project, enlarging the embroidery pattern, tracing it twice, and then ironing it and now the actual embroidery. but its going to be reals cute when im done. i just hope it will be before the 1st!!

for the denyse schmidt along - i love it, i eyeballed the pattern so its too small of a hand opening but whatever. i love it!
