raise your hand if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen...might as well look {and feel} pretty while you're in there, right?
check out these beauties - (the aprons, i mean)
from Stag Designs, these adorable aprons are handmade with Duck Cloth, 100% cotton and machine washable. these high-quality aprons are available in adult and child sizes, so you can cook with your little companions! the bib is thicker than regular cotton fabric--closer to upholstery fabric, which makes the aprons hold their shape better through multiple washings. very sturdy for cooking, cleaning, and balancing a baby on your hip the whole time. my favorite part? the apron skirt is a dish towel! attached with sewn-in Velcro! brilliant! wear it, tear it off, and wash it with the apron or separately. brilliant. because sometimes you only get the bottom part of the apron dirty, am i right?
Jenn, owner of Stag Designs, has two little boys and is a full time teacher. "Stag Designs was created out of my love for both my jobs, mommy and teacher. I teach a class called "Lifetime Nutrition and Wellness" at a local high school. In this class, we prepare meals multiple times a week. With 5 kitchens, and 5-6 kids in each kitchen, I was constantly washing my hands....and then realizing my dish towl was nowhere to be found. I decided I need an apron that could keep my work clothes clean, but also help my forgetful mind. So the Dishcloth Apron was born! I wanted to make the dishcloth removable, so it could be taken off and thrown in the washing machine. I got such a positive response from friends and family, that I decided to start a business. I love sewing (and also teach a Fashion Design class), so this seemed like a good fit."

in addition to aprons, she also makes baby clothes blankets. big, beautiful, sentimental blankets made using your child's outgrown onesies, pajamas, burp cloths, receiving blankets, and special outfits.
when i saw this in person i couldn't take my hands off of it. a patchwork blanket made with your baby's little tiny clothes? i just wanted to snuggle it. you can practically smell the Johnson's & Johnson's baby lotion.
