Week 10 till Christmas.

This week i 'll give you some apron patterns, because aprons are HOT.
I found a beautiful poem about aprons:

Grandma's Apron

When I used to visit Grandma.
I was very much impressed,
by her all-purpose apron,
and the power it possessed.
She used it for a basket,
when she gathered up the eggs,
and flapped it as a weapon,
when hens pecked her feet and legs.
She used it for a hot pad,
to remove a steaming pan,
and when her brow was heated,
she used it for a fan.
It dried our childish tears,
when we'd scrape a knee and cry,
and made a hiding place
when the little ones were shy.
Farm produce took in season,
in the summer, spring and fall,
found its way into the kitchen
from Grandma's carry all.



Maybe she wore this one. Here you can find a tuto of this apron

  4. I loved this post! Not just because you featured me in it either, although that was very, very sweet of you, but because the poem brought back memories of my own mother and her apron. Also, I loved the other aprons you featured. All are wonderful.

  6. Volgens mij houdt jij van de kerst !!??;-)

    Enig de schorten. Maar jij in de jouwe vind ik het leukste, zo met de kippetjes rondom je, lekker landelijk.
    Ik draag er één regelmatig, maar gewoon een heel eenvoudige. Die mag gewoon vies worden, wat mij aardig lukt !!

    prachtige pompoenen zelfs met poppe gezichtjes.
