Today I was not in the mood to sew.
I rather wanted to go thrifting for treasures instead.
But I said to myself "No. Tilly, you have to get work done!"
Now mind you, the kitchen was a mess after making that lovely pie
and dishes needed to be done...which is not exactly what I wanted to be doing either.
As I filled the sink with hot soapy water and filled it with dirty dishes,
it occured to me that I had on a nice, bright t-shirt with no spots..yet.
Well, it was only a matter of a few moments when that would be changed.
And I remembered how my momma always wore an apron to do chores.
As a child I even made her quite a few. Now if I get to choose between a fun project and "chores" I can tell you the fun will win for sure. I immediately took off the rubber gloves and ran upstairs to peruse the selection of used items that were waiting patiently to be transformed into their second life. As I pawed through the hangers and stacks and bins (yes, there's quite a lot) I came across some leftover bits from the "Pinafore Bags." Bright, breezy, floral and girly. Perfect for an apron.
Now, with my lovely new apron I don't mind doing the dishes so much.
Maybe I should make more of these?
