The age of wearing aprons while darning socks, hanging laundry on the line, collecting eggs from the hen house and veggies from the garden are in the past and with just a tie of the apron strings we can be tied to those uniquely romantic days. On top of that, my mom would always tell us that if we are feeling down, the best way to snap out of it is to serve someone and we will feel better. It looks like making aprons for others is exactly what my mom was talking about!Jill Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00337325774645177043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386940982336987490.post-45874601184601868632007-08-21T11:45:00.000-07:002007-08-21T11:45:00.000-07:00I can't wait to see your new creations.

Hopefully they will inspire me and I'll get my apron mojo back (I'm sure you are all holding your breath for that...no one needs more Christie sass). <BR/><BR/>I agree, I have many of those memories. I have to add a couple. 1. Waiting in anticipation as my grandma made me and my Cabbage Patch doll matching dresses... and 2. Watching apron-clad Maren and her sweet daughter Paige bust through my sicky-germ-infested house to bring me THE best chicken noodle soup ever created by woman (and yummy ice cream to make the medicine go down). Memories I hold dear.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535601392016387260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386940982336987490.post-53872121211734021382007-08-21T09:19:00.000-07:002007-08-21T09:19:00.000-07:00I think it has something to do with how mundane ou...I think it has something to do with how mundane our lives have become. We used to have to make things from scratch. Men used to farm all day long just to feed their children. Now they sit at a desk for the most part and recieve a check. We then go to the market and buy food. We are out of touch in a lot of ways of really using our skills to harvest something for others. We as a group have touched on one of the crucial elements that make human beings happy. """Creating""" Having made 4 aprons myself, I enjoy beginging with the purchasing of fabric, cutting out the patern, and watching it come to life with each stitch. Starting from the beginning and ending with an apron is tapping into a very integral part of the humans need to create.<BR/><BR/>I cannot wait to see your next creation. I will sit at the edge of my keyboard in anticipation.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for such a great entry!The MacMizzleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185701699733156859noreply@blogger.com
