I haven't managed to post about Steve's wine making attempt this fall. Someday I'll try to get him to sit down and help me type up a post about the process. He inherited his Italian grandfather's grape press and it has been in our garden gazebo serving as an interesting conversation piece for a few years now. This year everything came together where he had the time, the motivation and the resources to make his own wine in the tradition of his Grandpa Vito.
A couple weekends ago it went from cask to bottle and last Saturday I helped him print up labels. Last night was our annual neighborhood Christmas Walk/Party. I made Holiday Tea Towels and used them to wrap bottles of wine to give as hostess gifts.
After the jump I'll show you what I made for my Mom and my mother-in-law....
DON'T PEAK MOM!
This blue apron is for my Mom.
This one is for my mother-in-law.
Both are made with fabrics from Amy Butler's Daisy Chain line. I just love them and may have to make
I adore the aprons!! I am stil going to try and get a couple half aprons done for my mom and sil. Yes, there are only 4 days left and they live in Phoenix. OK, maybe they will have to be New Years aprons. Mine aren't nearly as fabulous as yours though!
ReplyDeleteThe wine in a tea towel is a great idea.
I guess it's OK for me to look at the aprons now. Angela's is pretty too but I like mine better. Thank you very much. I think about you and your business problems every time I walk by it hanging in the kitchen and say a little prayer. I hope it works for you. Love MOM
