Playing my bass 'till my fingers are swollen, and loving every minute of it!

Exerpt from "The Apron Book" by EllynAne Geisel

I found this particular passage really touching...

By Dick Amman
"... About three o'clock in the afternoon, Mom would straighten the house, vaccuming and dusting, and by the time we walked in from school, she'd be in the kitchen with her apron on, preparing the evening meal. ....
When dinner was just about ready, she'd go freshen up, changing clothing and putting on makeup. When one of my sisters once asked her how come she "got ready" and changed clothes right before dinner, Mom smiled and said, "Because my husband is coming home." When our father walked into the house from work, he was greeted with a delicious home-cooked meal on the table and Mom, all decked out in a fresh, pretty apron."

Here's some of what I accomplished over the weekend!

Behind the Gilded Fan

Oh, Marie Antoinette, I am so disappointed! I was to have lunch with two of my friends - we've been planning for weeks - yet the migraine that's been brewing for several days decided to break free in full force this morning. I want to see my dear friends so much, however driving is probably not the best idea right now. I just hate to miss my friends! Sarah and Dana, if you're reading this, I am so bummed and sorry! I wish I could join you!

Marie Antoinette, What would you do? Why, take to my bed and cry, of course.

Finished and I'm already onto the next one....

Apron Love

I'm so into aprons lately. I got a pattern this afternoon and have spent my evening working on sewing a spectacular (and dare I say sexy) three-tiered apron for myself. I'll post photos once it's finished!
