Today is the day to clean ... mmmm where to start? Maybe in the closet -- No, I think I should just work on my shelves! Then again, ---- the chaise lounge looks so cozy!! Maybe I should just rest! Or maybe I should just show you a close up of my apron!

I HAVE BEEN IN AN APRON MOOD LATEY!!

I have definitely been caught up in Aprons; but I do love making and designing them. For me it is fun ..... hope you have (some) fun viewing them. I have the cutest models to show them off. They just seem to bring the aprons to life!

OH , TO PLAN A PARTY!

Such a task! Setting the table for a big party. But what makes it such fun is my pretty apron .... now what do you think?

A LITTLE DIVERSION ....

This was a fun project to do. A trio necessity for baby ..... a blanket, a drooling bib, and a burp cloth. This was a custom order and I chose a yummy minky chocolate brown fabric with large pink dots on the front side and a pink satin on the reverse side for the blanket. The bib and burp cloth were color co-ordinated in chocolate brown and pink. To present it I made a tulle bag tied with a satin pink bow and a hang tag attached. I hope the gift was well received.

APRONS, APRONS, and MORE APRONS

What could be cuter than TODDLER APRONS --- Surely every little girl needs one. Why? because it is fun, it keeps her outfit clean, she feels "just like mommy - oh so grown up" and ohooooooo so pretty and feminine!

WOE TO ME - WORK TO BE DONE!

Oh My, so much to do - but slip on that apron and what seems like work can turn into fun and before you know it you can relax and sip that latte!

DO YOU HAVE AN APRON STORY?

I was married in the 1950's and that was just about the end of "wearing aprons" as a homemaker. It was not a daily happening for me but when I was planning a large family dinner or holiday cooking I usually did don an apron. My aprons were well starched with gathers and tied at the waist with long apron strings and it was usually a half apron. Aprons were definitely a part of my "vintage". My mother-in-law on the other hand seamed to have an apron on when ever she was cooking. They were the typical full bib vintage aprons that you usually see. About a year ago I attended the Gift Shows in Los Angles and San Francisco with the owner of the Boutique where I work. I noticed a considerable number of aprons were being shown and I thought to myself .... I can do as well or perhaps even a little better or at least a bit different. so -- my apron journey began. Aprons are definitely on the come back and the young women are having fun wearing aprons not only in the kitchen, or for entertaining but as a part of her "look: wearing them over her jeans and dresses. Toddlers love to wear them to help their mothers cook, bake or doing crafts. I would love to hear about your "apron story", about you or your mother or your grandmother. All apron stories are just another extension of our cultural history. Please just leave a note in my comments of your interest in sharing your apron story and I will get back to you immediately. I think it will be fun for all of us!
