My beautiful Spring Apron

Here is the beautiful Spring apron I received from my awesome partner. The pattern is her very own and I love the way it fits, especially the wide waist band.

You may remember from my post that the tuck-ins for this swap were to correlate with our initials. My initials just happen to be the one word I would use to describe myself .... A.S.S. If I were sending a package for someone with those initials, I think I would have had to send monogrammed toilet paper. But my partner was so sweet - she sent some appliques, stamps, stationary, and an artichoke & spinach dip mix. The best, though, and the one that my kids enjoyed the most, was an Ukrainian apple cake recipe dedicated to Valera (an orphan we hosted last Christmas and are in the process of adopting). I've already made it and it was DELICIOUS!

Thanks, partner, I LOVE my apron and I've already used it so much!!

My apron was on TV!

I was on the local news and I was wearing the great apron from this swap!

So if you want to see my apron...you have to watch me on the news ha ha

The Case of the Missing Apron!

I'm so jealous of all the great aprons that you have been receiving and posting here. All of your pictures of your unique aprons have me drooling and green with "apron" envy! I also love looking at all of the creative things that you are showing that you have received as your tuck ins. We have some very creative and thoughtful swappers on this blog. It never ceases to amaze me at how creative and clever my fellow apron swappers are.

It seems that the apron swap package that I was to receive has disappeared. Shawnee let me know that the delivery confirmation said it had been delivered to me but it is no where to be found! I live in a very quiet court and know all of my neighbors so I don't think any of them would walk off with my package. I've scoured the plants and bushes and looked all around my front porch hoping that somehow the package would be found. I even went door to door asking my neighbors if they had happened to see a package delivered on my doorstep or someone removing one. Unfortunately it has gone "missing" and I will never know what the package contained. The funny thing is that I was home all day long the day the delivery confirmation says it was delivered. My little Chewbacca usually notifies me if anyone dare steps on the porch and I don't remember him barking at all that day.

Do we have any CSI investigators out here in our little Apron Swap World? If I had Nancy Drew's phone number I would hire her to look into the Case of the Missing Apron!

Apron from Bree

I went to Quilt Market and was gone for about 10 days. When I got home late Thursday night, I found my Apron package from Bree. I love the fabric and the tuck-ins are wonderful.

Since I don't have Bree's email address, I hope she will see this. Thank you so much!
