Jun. 5, 2007 - Adorable Apron Contest

I'm too tired to post anything fresh and relevant, so I thought I'd try something newsworthy instead! I just found out from KarenW that Life is Like a Lunchbox is having a contest. I happen to think the Flirty Everyday Apron is absolutely adorable! I have an apron which I bought at the grocery store. I've been pulling it out more often lately as I have a bad habit of splashing grease all over the front of myself and ending up with grease stains on all my t-shirts, but I don't really care for it any more (too many pleats), and have been thinking that I ought to refresh my mediocre sewing skills by making myself a new one, and maybe teaching the girls to make their own matching aprons. Then we'd look so cute and I could post a picture for you all to "ooh!" and "ahh!" over. Wouldn't that be fun? The problem is that even when my mom started teaching me to sew in the 7th grade, I chose the most complicated apron pattern possible with so much ribbon and lace that I never did finish it. I made a couple of other things, but the apron is probably still in a bag somewhere, full of pins. Sigh! So, if I could just win this apron it would save me a lot of grief! What about you are you into aprons? Don't they just make you feel like a domestic goddess? Ha!

I will admit that I LOVE aprons...they make me feel...industrious. I usually just wear a boring ole denim apron. But, when my daughter and I are baking together we don our matching vintage floral patterned aprons. It's a real treat! I'm currently looking for pretty oil cloth aprons...I'm not having any luck.

Have a Blessed Week!

I have (had maybe) a pattern with lots of ruffles and gathers. I made one. I am loving the aprons on these sites. They are so fun! I hope you win one too!

Yes, I do wear them when I'm stir-frying. I need to ALWAYS wear one, but I forget a lot of the time. Of course, I remember when I get a big splash of something on my clothes!!

I'll go check out the contest.

The new and improved HSB is pretty cool, huh?

I like aprons too. I don't want things splashed all over my clothes, plus, I just like them. I have thought of sewing one too. Just haven't tried yet. I'll probably break down and just buy one. :)

I never remember to wear one, although I have several with sentimental meanings behind them.
