i'm back...

from my self imposed blogging break (sorry for the absence) and a fun weekend with a dear friend. (my first away from my baby... big weekend!)

a few months ago my friend, Alisha, sent me a huge box of African fabric. the plan was to turn it into cute aprons to sell and help raise money for her work with Christopher House Ministries.

after the holidays, i finally had some time to finish a batch of aprons and flower broaches (with the help of some sweet friends- thanks Dana and Christy!)

so i hopped on a plane with a dozen aprons and headed to Alisha's this weekend to kick off this idea (and spend much needed time with a friend). her roommate, Erin, (who has the sweetest collection of tea cups) hosted a great tea party in honor of her new home and the Aprons for Africa trunk show! it was a fun time of meeting wonderful women and sharing a bit of my talent to raise money for someone i love.

here are the pictures of the finished project...

go take a look at my friend's blog.... Alisha on Location ... you won't be disappointed

p.s.- it was a huge success... thanks!
