Sometimes we need aprons for other occasions other than the everyday kitchen accessory. It's great to have an apron personalized for a special person or for your business. This one was designed with Mary Kay in mind. Mary Kay's new decorating theme is hot pink and zebra print. So I incorporated the two prints in this cute apron. Also on this apron are the "MK" letters for Mary Kay. You too can have a custom apron for your special some one or for your business. Just contact me at HeartandSowDesigns@yahoo.com

The reverse side of this apron is just as cute even without the letters.

This other side can be used for everyday kitchen use or hostessing your next party.

Decorating with Placemats

Here's a look at my table decoration for thanksgiving. I used to not use placemats but table cloths with a clear plastic vinyl cover to keep it clean. The vinyl cover looked great for awhile but it got dirty too fast with grandkids. But the problem with this cloth was it just wouldn't come clean when washing it. I tried several times to scrub and clean it. So I bought a new one and started over, once it was dirty tried and tired to clean it, the surface looked clean but when held up to the light it still showed finger prints.

I finally gave up the idea of using the vinyl cloth and just use fabric cloths and decorations to make it look nice. Now, my idea was to use a table runner with placemats. I like the look here above. Now the question I pose to you is, are placemats for look or for use? My daughter uses her's only for looks and I use mine for looks and use. I want the kids to use the mat so the table cloth will stay clean longer.

Share you opinion on do you use your placemats for decoration or use them as a function to keep the table cloth clean or table clean?

Miss Minnie Diner Apron

I recently got an order requesting an apron for a teacher who likes Mickey and Minnie Mouse. So I had to brain storm to come up with an idea that would make this collector of Minnie happy. This is my version of a Minnie apron. More aprons will be available soon or by custom order. Check out regularly for updates at heartnsow.com
