Every year, we draw names from the members of our family (with the exception of mom and dad) and we each buy a gift for the individual whose name we drew out of the bowl. This year I drew Amanda's name, and it took me FOREVER to decide what to give her (seriously, it took me way too long). Well on Saturday I made the insane decision to put my homemaker skills to the test and sew her an apron. Yeah.
For the record, I will probably be the worst mom ever because really the only thing I can cook is mac and cheese from a box. Hahaha. I'm really super terrible at all the motherly things that girls are supposed to be good at, so this was kinda fun for me..NOT.
I'm pretty sure that the first half of this apron process was a complete JOKE. I couldn't even figure out how to work the freakin sewing machine. But FEAR NOT. With some help from my amazing wonderful mother I was able to get my act together and actually sew an apron.
I finally finished it! (Just don't look super close at it, I'll be embarrassed). Either way, I decided that it's really the thought that counts, right? Either way, I'm anxious to see how long this apron lasts....I'm pretty proud of the fact that I actually completed something worthwhile with my own two hands, even if it does look terrible. I truly am excited to give it to Amanda. :) it is the spirit of giving this Christmas season that keeps the world bright and cheery, after all!
