This morning I finished embroidering my next "Stitchette". I LOVE it! This one is on a canvas 'craft' apron that I found while thrift shopping. Jamming that needle through canvas probably wasn't the best idea, but I like the finished product.Now, I am not sure if I will ever actually wear it, or if it will just hang in my kitchen.
Let me tell you why (boring story follows).
Sunday was 'the' birthday party. My mom is always cold, and I am always hot. Because I love my mom so, I turned the heat up to 70. It is usually 65 at all times in here, and even cooler at night.
Anyway, back to me.
I had a jacket on, but that was too warm so I removed it. I added the apron. Apparently, if you don't wear an apron often enough, people will notice when you do.
After dinner, I kept it on. It is cute, that blue one, don't you think?
FOUR people inquired as to why I was still wearing the apron. FOUR. First, it was Daughter. Then, since my answer didn't satisfy, she said Son-in-law wanted to know why I was still wearing an apron. Then, Youngest Son, 'what's with the apron?'. After everyone left and it was just THGGM and I staring at the Oscar's he looked at me and said 'Take. The. Apron. Off!'.
So, the next apron will have stitched across the front of it "Apron is worn in an attempt to cover fat. Wearer believes that covering fat makes it more difficult for you to notice. This never works, but wearer of apron is delusional. Please play along. If wearer becomes agitated, calm with chocolate."
And please, don't point and stare, it's bad manners. I've got the book to prove it.

You are too funny.
Those are really darling!
You do such lovely work...I am sorry no one appreciates your skills! Tell the next nut to "go out and play in the traffic awhile" ha...
I should not suggest this, but if it was just hubby and I and he said something like that, I would proceed to take EVERYTHING off!! HA! Fat or not...
Just read your comment on my blog...would you happen to remember the title of the book you referred to??? Maybe that would help me understand a lot of the emotional stuff I go thru at times, too. Because I truly was a victim of that, even tho I've never heard of the "emotional" version of it. It fits my abuse to a "t".
Those are so incredibly adorable that I can hardly stand it. I want to make some, too! Great job! Blessings, Debra
I haven't been here in ages. You're still spinning out some goodies.
Next time- WEAR JUST THE APRON.
No one will want you to take it off. That'll show 'em.
Same theory goes for sitting on the couch with a pillow on your lap, it fools others in the room into thinking you have no middle age spread! I believe it with all my heart - now where's my pillow?
You are all so kind AND helpful!
Kris, I sent you an email.
You are so funny! And I LOVE those darling aprons!
