6:53 pm ByDeannaFiled Underapronista, swaps

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.

All Others Mail After: July 20

National Apron Day!

7:46 pm ByDeannaFiled UnderApron Love, apronista, wear your apron day

Hey Apronistas! I hope you all had a lovely Mother’s Day, and I hope you are ready for National Apron Day! Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to wear your favorite or prettiest Apron all day…or at least as much as you practically can. Spread the word of the Apron far and wide – give an apron, buy an apron from one of your favorite Apronistas, take a picture in your favorite apron, run a sale in your shop – any post you like may be linked here for all of us to enjoy! And to add to the Apron Love, I am going to choose a number at random from all the posts below to win a goodie package, including a copy of “A is for Apron” by Nathalie Mornu – I have to say this is one of my favorite Apron-makin’ books just for the sheer number of ideas and inspiration! A lot of our favorite Apronistas have patterns in here!

So enter the url of your Apron Day post in the Mr Linky below, and the name of your blog - and make sure to check back all this week so you can visit ALL the posts and say hi to your fellow Apronistas!

I’m also extending this month’s GIVEAWAY since I started it a day late – GO ENTER!!!
