Kitchen Stitches Apron and Giveaway!!

As part of the Kitchen Stitches Blog Hop we were asked to make another designers project and add some Valentine's flair to it.  So that got me to thinking, Valentines is all about love.  Well what our family loves to do more than anything is camping.  (The dirty faces attest to the joy here ;)


And one of our family's favorite thing about camping is camp food.  (Well, maybe not the kids favorite but it is mine for sure :)  And when we camp we go all out on the cooking.  We have even made dutch oven pies before, yummy!!


One of the big reasons I love camp cooking (besides the fact that it is delicious!)  is that I am not the cook!  I do a lot of the preparation but this guy is the cook.  And so what could be better than making a project for the guy I love to use while camp cooking with the family we love.


So I pulled out one of Jacob's flannel camp shirts  (I bet when he sees this I will be buying him a new one :)  and whipped it up into this super fun Shirt Tales Apron. Isn't it so fun!!!  It was super easy to make.  I think I spent more time ironing out the wrinkles before starting then I actually did making the apron :)   


The original Shirt Tales Apron was designed and made by Linda Turner Griepentrog and can be found in Kitchen Stitches.  What a great design!!


And now, I just can't wait to go camping so Jacob can give his new Apron a try ;)  Now he can be the master camp chef and look the part!!!


Oh, and one last little surprise.  Jacob isn't much for embellishments on his clothing so I didn't add the ric rac under the buttons, but I couldn't help but add a little hidden heart lining in the pocket.  It will be so much fun when he finally finds it ;)  I love that guy!!


And before I sign off, I believe I mentioned a giveaway!!!  I have a copy of Kitchen Stitches up for grabs.  Just leave a comment here telling me what your family loves to do together and you will be entered to win.  One comment per person please and all comments are welcome :)


I will draw a winner on Feb 13 one lucky reader will get a little Valentine's Day treat :)  Good Luck to everyone ;)

And be sure to check out all the other stops on the Kitchen Stitches tour.  There will be great projects and more opportunities to win :)

  2. DH and I love to camp also, although our 3 (grown) sons don't consider it camping since we have a 5th wheel. When I retired, we bought a truck camper and used that for 2 years, then switched to the 5th wheel. Sometimes we miss the truck camper. My BIL does the cooking when they camp, but no such luck for me. The apron is so cute! I would love to win the book!

  10. One thing we really enjoy doing together, that we haven't been able to do since we moved into this house :(, is sit around watching their dad play Zelda. There is an actual timeline that involves but all the games in chronological order, which wasn't the order in which they were released. We've played through I think 3 whole games so far and now we're working on the 4th, but I may be one up on myself. We even used it as our Halloween theme one year. I really hope he gets the Wii back up soon because we all miss that.

  12. My children are all grown and gone and raising their own families now, but MY family growing up loved camping too! We went all the time, and I mean ALL the time. It was one of those low-cost things you could just decide to do as the weekend rolled around and we'd jump in the car, hook up the little old tent camper, and off we'd go, whether it was a local lake or farther down the road. Such great memories!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Weekend breakfasts together are the best. And long walks outside -- whether it's just around the neighborhood, or out on a trail.

  29. This has got to be one of the best ideas for an apron . . . especially for a guy. BTW, I'm with you on the not cooking part. I always say I'd rather be sewing than cooking. Trouble is no one else in the family wants the job either.

  80. With my children all grown now, occasionally when they all come home together they challenge each other to a cookoff of some kind. It can be anything, best pizza, pasta, hamburger etc etc. I am amazed what great cooks they all have become. I love that they don't follow a recipe but just their imagination.

  88. Most often "family" time is spend on the farm. The kids and GRANDS come home and partake in the farm/ranching activities. The little cousins have a great time together. Thanksgiving is our "together" holiday. This years we spent most of that week together in Steamboat Springs, CO. Everyone thoroughly enjoy the time, so I looks for that to happen again.

    ReplyDelete
  89. We love to go to the beach or on a nature trail.

  90. We love to enjoy the outdoors together - hikes, photography walks, snowball fights, etc :)

    ReplyDelete
  91. This may sound odd but my family loves to eat. Since we all live in different parts of the country now, when we get together it's all about the food and what my mother and I cook/bake for my children and grandchildren. After we are all 'fed up', we sit around and reminisce, which of course the grandkids love because they hear all the stories about when their parents were young. When my kids were young we loved to spend snowy winter afternoons outside sledding. It was great fun and I so miss those days.

  92. Our family loves to camp and fish together, even though our kids are grown now we still enjoy camping and fishing trips together.

  113. We go camping regularly in our caravan (you may call the trailers in your part of the world) down here in New Zealand. It's a great way to explore the countryside. I usually take some hand stitching with me to do, or not, as the mood takes me. It's certainly better to be prepared for a rainy day. Oh, and we take our beautiful Birman cat Muffy away in the caravan too, she loves it, and we love to have her with us.

  122. Our family likes to go to the beach towards evening and eat clam chowder at our favorite restaurant Mo's then as it gets towards dark we like to light a fire and sit and talk and watch the sun sink below the horizon and watch the stars come out. One summer during a full moon we spent almost the whole night sitting around a fire on the beach and we were not the only group that night.

    ReplyDelete
  123. We are a camping family as well. I had to show my husband that dutch oven photo. So awesome! We split the meal prep. If we have more than one night out we do a lot of dutch oven stuff. One night usually means a quick easy dinner and a dutch oven dessert and/or breakfast. I am pretty sure hubby would not wear an apron though. :)

  124. We love reading, when I read to them. Now I only have one left in the nest, the other two are already grown ups. But I have always read to them. A lot.

  143. I love to do dutch oven cooking. There is a big group of us that goes camping every summer - several times - and let me tell you the food is fantastic! And because I can't be away from my sewing machine for long, I take it with me. Ya they all give me a hard time, but I just love to sew and what is better better than sewing in the mountains? well besides eating? Nothing. Love the apron - will be making a few of those.

  144. Our family went camping also, my girls are all grown up now and taking their kids camping. We used to stop at all the "brown" signs (historical information), I would read the signs, they would complain, but I would overhear them talking about what they had learned. Fun times, I miss the days of the kids at home, enjoy your time - it goes by way too fast.

  149. We are big campers too...I can't wait to get the tent out again this year. Our big vacation to Florida last summer (5 weeks away from our own house) meant we didn't camp at all. This year we plan to make up for that!
