Dad's Apron?

I was back in Colorado earlier this year, visiting my mom. She was going through the basement, garage, and closets, getting things together for a garage sale. She told me to look through what she was planning to sell, to see if there was anything I wanted. As a kid, I vaguely remembered seeing this silly old apron, hanging in the broom closet way back when. I now have it hanging in my pantry. I don't really remember anyone in particular wearing it, but just seeing it brings a smile to my face.… Continue

...at the Apronista

All things Lime (recipe and giveaway!)

So which one do you want? For FREE including shipping?
I am so excited Deanna is gracious (or rather brave enough) to let me post on the refined and internationally famous Apronista blog. I feel like I should have put on something classier then my clearance section Target sundress and dollar flip flops... (FYI we're slummin' it ladies) - the real purpose for this post is to announce the fun limey giveaway over at the Secret Stitch Club blog.
It's so easy and you can have 4 chances to enter to win one of these two aprons (the top apron is adult sized made by Christie, the bottom one is called "Cherry Limeade" it is a child size apron and was made by yours truly)

* 1st way to win - leave a comment "bla, bla, bla" whatever you want to say
* 2nd way to win - post about it on your blog, like I did here on mine. (feel free to use the apron photos)
* 3rd way to win - go to our ETSY store and tell us what you like the most (preferably my bath aprons, but Jill & Christie make equally cool stuff)
* 4th way to win - tell us what your favorite summer time drink is (mine: frozen coke lime from Islands) and don't forget to leave your email so we can let you know when you win.

That's it - oh and if you make Christie's lime cupcakes recipe your mouth will be thanking you for weeks. I was one of her test subjects and there was one left over, I froze it (translation: hid it from my husband) and enjoyed it frozen the next day - yummy, yum, yum.

P.S. You CAN'T enter here... It just won't due. The apronista can not be held responsible for so much inundation of lime at one time. To enter just click HERE and you will be directly directed in the right direction.

If Donna Downey makes an apron...

From Donna:
"the idea for the apron came from a sketch i had drawn in my idea journal while waiting for my connecting flight in the aiport. the idea eveolved a couple times in the sketches i drew and finally i came to the idea for the apron "exactly" as you see it. this usually never happens that the project i make turns out exactly as i had envisioned it in my head."
"because canvas is my happy place, i stated with that as my base and just built up from there, gathering, stitching and applying layers ( i love layers!) until it was finished. i am beyond pleased with the way it turned out and it currently is sitting on a dressform in my office until i get the courage to actually wear it, LOL!"
All I know is I about fell over when I saw it. I think I would be AFRAID to wear it myself, but this is truly a work of art - thank you SO much Donna for letting me share this with my Apronista friends!!

NEW Flirty Apron Swap - I Love Lucy!!

Guest blogger Shawnee here. I'm excited to invite you all join my next flirty apron swap, designed for fans of the classic beauty and comedian, Lucille Ball!


I hope you all enjoy Lucille Ball as much as I do. Just seeing her beautiful face always makes me smile, and I laugh when I think of my favorite scenes from her shows. Here are a few pictures that I think of when I think "Lucy":






Don't you think you could create a WONDERFUL Lucille-esque apron?? I DO! I can see a dress style made from navy with white polka dots and collar; a pink factory smock with matching pink chef's hat; a grape-treader special ala Sophia Loren; or something super special made with "Lucy's Chocolate Factory" fabrics.


Deadline to Register: June 21
NEW Swappers: mail to Shawnee before July 20
All Others Mail After: July 20
But Mail Before: August 4

Create a handmade "I Love Lucy" apron, and include up to $15 worth of retro housewife or I Love Lucy goodies with your package.

Normal rules apply (aka you and I will be email buddies)
Email me four times:
#1 - within 48 hours of assignment to keep playing
#2 -when you send your package WITH TRACKING NUMBER
#3 -when you receive your package
#4 -cc me on your thank you email (can combine with #3)

If you have a great Lucy-like prize you'd like to donate, just let me know and I'm happy to highlight your shop or blog in exchange.
