Do you have a golfer in the family? Father's Day is around the corner and I had this wonderful golf shower curtain I found at a thrift store. I thought this would make a lovely man's apron.
My husband used to BBQ but he doesn't cook anything now. But when he saw this he sure was eyeing it since he is an avid golfer so anything about golfing attracts his attention. This sure would make a golfer a happy man.
Today I went to my local upscaled recylced shops and thrift stores.
I have been admiring my friend Sherry Marrero's finds and just thought I needed to check them out too. I had bought and used thrift fabric finds before I ran across Sherry's blogs, but after seeing her wonderful finds it inspired me to go back and check them out for myself.

I get so excited buying fabric and thinking about what I might make with it. It so thrilling and enticing. I would much rather buy fabric than anything else.
(Rose basket table cloth)
I didn't find any cool sheets but found fabrics, and table cloths that could make lovely aprons.

The thrill of creating things is something someone just has to experience and to really understand how a crafter can get so excited just purchasing mediums in the raw.

Now to decide what to make with my wonderful finds.
Be sure and check out my friend Sherry's blog: http://anniescupboards.blogspot.com I have her link under my favorite links on the right.
You make do and improvise. You either stay home or you take the kids with you. So we took the kids with us golfing. We all had a really good time. It wasn't too overly hot and we all played. Of course the grandkids, LaRyn and Christian who are only 9 and 6 didn't play eighteen holes. Instead we let them tee off and putt and that seem to make them happy. Christian made a hole in one on one of his putts and LaRyn learned to drive a golf cart.
The Twinkies LaRyn and Nana wore peach and Khaki while the others found some other non-conforming outfits. LOL
LaRyn loved learning to drive the cart. She also caddied for her mom and Nana.
LaRyn and Christian were quite naturals golfing, you would have think that had private lessons. It's amazing how well they played compared to Mom and Nana.
Everyone putting but my daughter, she sat this hole out and was able to get some pics.
Father's Day is a great way to honor our fathers. Mine has since passed on and since we didn't have a good relationship I don't think about him much. But my husband has been a wonderful father, a man of character and a great example to our children.
This Father's Day was a busy day with 2 of my children coming to visit and 7 of my grand kids made it quite an eventful day. It seems children can all get along as no one touches an another and and keeps to themselves. Did that happen of course not, kids wouldn't be kids if they didn't cause a commotion.
My oldest daughter came and made her father's favorite German Chocolate cake with coconut frosting. She in listed her sister's son to help her make the cake. She had Christian put the eggs in the batter and he put the eggs shell in all in the cake. Of course she took the shells out before baking.
The children played on the "mini trampoline", I bought just for the grandkids this weekend, the swimming pool, swinging, and digging in the dirt. Mally's favorite part of play was the trampoline.
Some of us choose to go to the Irish festival since we are 1/2 Irish and wanted to see what was going on. There was vendors everywhere, and Gaelic dancing, Spanish dancers and Irish bagpipes. My husband's favorite part was the bagpipes which he has informed me that he wants at his funeral.
My husband went along for the ride, he's such a good sport. I'm sure his favorite thing to do was to go golfing on Friday and watch it on TV. Boy, has he become a golf fanatic, but love him anyways.
