A Homemade Christmas – #3 – Aprons
November 6, 2008
Welcome to the third A Homemade Christmas! This is week Three of Ten (you don’t have to enter in each one). I hope you’ll join us in sharing about homemade gifts that you have received or made — past, present, and future!

Aprons.
They are a great addition to any homemakers wardrobe. They keep one’s pretty garments from getting soiled. Every time one cooks, cleans, or picks up, an apron comes in quite handy. Not only are aprons a protection against grime and dirt, but they can also add a sweet homey look.
There are all sorts of styles of aprons. Retro, Whimsical, etc. Depending on the pattern, they can be tedious or quite simple.
One of the homemade gifts I am giving away this year is an apron. The apron above, actually. It will go to one of my readers. Yes, a giveaway.
It is very easy to enter the giveaway (it will end November 15th @ 7pm EST), click here to enter!

While living the life my Lord has blessed me with, I am at home with my family enjoying being a daughter, homemaker and artist. My highest goal is to give glory to God and enjoy Him forever. It is He that has saved me with His amazing grace and is continually molding me; to Him I owe everything. Read more . . .
How sweet of you to turn your homemade gift into a giveaway on your blog! I do really like aprons. My girls made me one (and a matching pot holder) for my birthday.(from their sewing lessons. I really love it and actually am really careful when wearing it. THey want me to wear it yet I want to keep it for a keepsake! :) I hope to get my homemade Christmas post up soon but we have afternoon sewing lessons so it may be tonight. I may enter your apron giveaway too – more for my oldest to place in her hope chest! :)
Have a wonderful day!
Oh- I am also off to my dad’s today to see if he has those acorn your sister so sweetly sent so our dolls can have their heads covered.

Emily Dear,
Thanks for letting me pose with the apron. It fits so well, anyone and everyone will fall in love with it.
Love you bunches!

What a wonderful day it was, don’t you think? I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, although I must admit I am totally mixed up as to which of you is which! (Which sister is which, is what I mean.) LOL! I do hope you will straighten me out.
I posted photos of our dear new bunnies on my blog. Please stop over and see them…and tell your Mom and sister for me, ok?
And here is a random thought about myself…I used to wear a cute little apron when I was about 5. I wore it to clean up my room and put all the “stuff” in the front pocket until it was full, then I put the things away. I eventually wore it clean through! And now I don’t wear one often but my oldest daughter wears aprons all the time!
Blessings,
Nancy (Mrs. Baetz)
WOW ! she is looking awsom in this beautiful Apron !
Where can I get the pattern for this aporn?
Ditto, what Autumn posted. How lovely this apron is. I love the bit of flounce in the ruffle…was that cut on the bias?? Please, share.
