Don't have a TV now, so I don't see anything.<br />I love aprons. My grandmother always wore a white one. I'm trying to get in the habit again because I keep messing up my clothes. Years ago, I made 2 aprons out of washable decorating fabric to match my kitchen --that was 3 kitchens ago. Only one left and it is threadbare and pocket-less. Also, the ties are getting a little short. Ahem.<br />Would love to win your extra apron.<br />Now please excuse me while I go stare at your gorgeous header photo of green hills and blue sky.<br />lindahancock@charter.netLindahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450792092084530798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-19984042291349390212015-08-30T21:26:26.231-04:002015-08-30T21:26:26.231-04:00I wear an apron every day when working in my kitch...I wear an apron every day when working in my kitchen. My favorite is a kind of smock that has pockets. How great to be almost 95 and still creating and sewing!<br />You have been busy! Love all the knitted projects and the jams you've made.

First, so I don't f...Oh, I have so much to say!<br />First, so I don't forget: I don't wear an apron because I keep thinking I'll make one. I've been thinking that for maybe 30 years now, ever since I wore out the apron I inherited from my Auntie Ruby, from whom I also inherited my Featherweight Singer. Which I really ought to use to make myself an apron. Someday.<br />Now: that trowel is a treasure, alright! And so is your woodworker - I love that big wooden tub with the lid! I have a tiny wooden pillbox made by a friend in Portugal - it's got a threaded lid, and when it's closed, the grain lines up top and bottom. I use it every day and remember my friend, who I am still in touch with but will probably never see again.<br />So much knitting! Wow. I saw a hat pattern the other day that I think is a Harry Potter/Dobby the House Elf thing; it's a long stocking hay that looks like several different colorful hats worn one atop the other! I wish I knew someone who would love to have it, because I think it would be a lot of fun to knit.<br />I have seen some episodes of those life-loving women on their old Triumph...maybe on youtube? What a couple of rips! Everyone should know how to Enjoy Life That Much.<br />And finally, I most certainly would believe how good your house smells when you've got apples cooking in your crockpot - yum! :)<br />Have a great week, Sandra!Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292701509476856967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-31590502487652722742015-08-30T19:35:16.991-04:002015-08-30T19:35:16.991-04:00The gardening tool made from a railroad spike soun...The gardening tool made from a railroad spike sounds interesting, Sandra. I love the artist mind--so inventive. <br />I wear an apron when I realize I need to have one one. Usually it's after I have a splatter or two on my clothing--I'm slow to learn. Aprons so remind me of my Nanny--she wore an apron all day long. I can see her now sweeping in that flowery apron.

It is a rare thing to pull out your Mom's favorite apron, and not cry buckets, so it does not happen often. I also have one my MIL made back in the 50's it is so small, I could use it as a bib, pink & green, made from pillow case fabric, with minuscule hand rolled hem binding all the way around. She must have been small as a child when she made it, before 6 kids, and abusive alcoholic PTSD husband charged through her life. That woman is a Saint, she will drive you nuts with her talking, but has a heart of gold. She says she's only 84, and she told her brother off a few months ago, he was razzing her terribly. But he got his, she rubbed it in good that he is now 82! He did concede defeat, you don't mess with mountain women of a certain age (hers apparently)!. :)<br /><br /><br />I loved those crafts, nothing beats an artist piece, they breathe life into their work! anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269208573774815462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-51844492187704573412015-08-30T14:48:55.205-04:002015-08-30T14:48:55.205-04:00So much here, Sandra!

Mine proudly hangs on a hook ready at a moments notice. I love that yellow apron and the story that goes with it. Loved the Two Fat Ladies. They were a hoot and I never missed their show. All that knitting makes me want to pick up my needles and get busy. Been crocheting lately but I really prefer knitting. Love the "click" of the needles. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to put my name in the pot please. Oh, is there a better smell than apples and cinnamon?

Hers were simply tied at the waist, usually found close by in the kitchen. <br />Your post "tickled" my memory . . . and I love that. <br />I do have one apron I wear, it says . . . "I Paint" and I wear it when I create with my paint brushes and canvas. <br />(Another idea for artist painting is to find an oversized dress at the second hand shop, open the front to the bottom, <br />wear it like a dress, pockets are helpful . . . it gains great character with time!)<br /><br />I am always amazed at what you accomplish . . .knitting, chores at the farm, canning . . . preserves . . . an amazingly talented woman indeed!
