Last week, after the big kids left, Galen got a haircut (then he promptly rumpled his hair all up) and we sifted through some fabric because I had a different sort of project in mind. I was thinking that it was about time that the Goosey Boy had an apron for all of his baking adventures.
While he stuck together packing peanuts from a package that arrived earlier in the day (you guys know that if you moisten those biodegradable cornstarch ones, you can stick ‘um together to form all sorts of interesting creations, right?), I set to turning an old pajama shirt of mine into an apron for my little guy.
These were actually my very favorite pajamas. They fit just right and had sweet white piping around the edges. Steve got them for me our first Christmas together. Last year the pants tore, this year it was the shirt and the time came for me to retire them for good. Though in looking back, I’m realizing that I got 12 years of wear out of them. That’s not too shabby!
I used some brown linen to finish it off. I’ve been loving the combination of brown and red lately, very warm and cozy.
We tried this bread for the first time (pictured above). I’ve been experimenting with almond flour lately and this one was well received.
How I adore your wonderful blog, always a burst of inspiration

Nice apron, and nice haircut! Enjoyed the photos of Gandolph (sp?) and also the hot pad – very cute!
