Sweet Aprons

Lovely! Make him some, too, in a sort of masculine look. If she has found such a treasure who will cook for her he deserves a 'splatter and grease shield,' too.

;)

Thanks!

Fine idea, he is really into antique cars, I'll find some designs and make him some "BBQ aprons".

Great Aprons! Happy daughter, wonderful gift. I love the photo's of the mountains. I do miss my trips to the Pacific Northwest. I feel fortunate to have been able to make so many during the years DD lived there.

Thanks, Juno.

I am thankful ever clear day, that I can look east and see Mount Hood, north and see Mount St. Helens (what's left of it) and Mt. Ranier, and northeast, Mount Adams. We had such a lovely day Sunday. It was overcast starting out, then cleared just as we headed up the Hood River Valley. When we turned to drive back north, there was Mount Adams. I don't think I had ever seen it so clearly. I just added another picture to my page.

The aprons are gorgeous, I love the houndstooth one especially. The mountain sights are unbelieveable; did I tell you I lve mountains?

It wasn't too many years ago that wearing an apron over scrubs would have been beyond ridiculous.

Reminds me of the jaw-dropping moment when a detergent commercial showed a young woman distraught because she had dropped mustard on her jeans.

(For the younger readers, if we have any, "jeans" used to refer to blue-denim work pants that one expected to decorate with axle grease and mud.)

The business suit started out as a "sack suit": baggy rumpled clothes for when you didn't want to dress up in your frock coat -- which began life as an upscale workman's frock, for slopping around at home.

Every generation finds its ancestors sooo formal!

Thanks, Emily, they were lots of fun to decorate and make. Each one took just 7/8 of a yard and about three hours start-to-finish including the embroidery.
