Mens Work Apron

Hello everyone, this week has been yet another blur of bussiness. Still on the topic of mens cards which sounds a bit untimed as mothers day has just been ....Happy mothers day to all mums...my monday class produced this fun mens work apron. Not my original idea but my twist on it and once again I was inspired by the many talented people from the Splitcoaststampers forum. I did faux stitching around the edges and then inked them. The tools are all sizzix dies.
I was so glad my DH took some pics of our Dahlia tree out in bloom a couple of days ago as yesterday afternoon we a a bad hail storm and it tore the petals to shreds....heres a pic before the storm. It's a beautiful flower but quite fragile. It grows from a bulbed root similar to a small Dahlia flower and grows up higher than our house roof before it will bloom. the flowers hang down. well today's post is short and sweet but before i go heres a pic of the second card we made on monday and the pattern for the mens work apron, enjoy.....Valita

Here's one that made by Shona

and a last thought

He calms the storms and stills the waves
what a blessing is that stillness.
