Valentine's Aprons
Finished and photographed at last, here's my submission for the January/February Tie-one-on apron challenge:
Although I loved the fabric combination I chose earlier, I felt they might be a bit girly, so I had a re-think and settled on the turquoise linen (which was lovely to work with) and a deep chocolate moleskin. 
I was inspired by the inimitable Tord Boontje, Amy Ruppel's exquisite deer paintings and this beautiful valentine's card from Roger La Borde design:
And by a blossoming love life... If you're wondering who my lithe male model is, well, after a two year separation, my ex (the girl's Daddy), and I have been re-united. And what better way to celebrate our re-kindled lurve than with his 'n' hers Valentine's aprons!
These are beautiful! Congratulations on your reunion. May you both be blessed in it.

These are so beautiful: they were my absolute favorite from this round of tie one on. Very original and well crafted! I'm so glad that they led me to your interesting blog--I love the internet for stuff like that.
