a day for wearing an apron
i found out about national apron day last year at the apronista. i think it is supposed to be the day after mother's day, but i haven't really heard any whisperings about it in blog world this year...but i am celebrating today all the same.
i suppose the real point it to wear your apron out in the world...but i am not so much getting out into the world today...however, i did wear my apron:
watching 30 minutes of marie antoinette and feeling quite inspired by the colors in that movie
dancing with millie while the indigo girls sang "virginia woolf"
choosing fabric for some patchwork
eating some m&ms dipped in peanut butter
changing from annoyed to grateful when thinking about the garbage truck waking me up so early this morning (because of it i was able to finish editing early enough to sew this afternoon)
making tea
thinking about what flowers i would like to plant in the pots outside
smiling when jonny emailed to say he would pick up some food for dinner
reading an email from a friend just checking in with me
creating a few aprons that will look like this one (though this is my favorite photo of that apron in action)
chatting on the phone with a friend
singing along with billy joel to his glass houses album while the sewing machine whirred
feeling hopeful and content
from the little room, this is me

Oh, look at you in that sweet apron. Love these photographs; they capture an essence of you.
It sounds like you had a perfectly wonderful Monday...and those kinds of Mondays are hard to come by! Love love love that head band and so happy to see that everything is coming along. (super cute apron too!) Sending love and hugs.xoxo
you look just too cute :) and i love the polka dot headband to match!
I whole heartedly agree with every word said so far...not that I was READING others' posts...no sir. :)
You have this amazing ability, it seems, to create an aura of peace, calm, optimistic and loving energy around you and your home....even when burried to the eyeballs in "to do's". I'm extremely inspired by this...you can't even know how much. Thank you thank you thank you.
See you SOON!!
We like the same music. Your apron is BEAUTIFUL! As are you...thank you for all that you are and share with us here...I think the ripples are bigger than you might imagine. Thank you again.

What a lovely entry...so simple and so filled with gratitude...
Your apron is to die for! Love it! And, I've gotta say, I'm so glad you have photos of yourself on your blog. I tend to be very shy about that on my blog, but I think I'm being silly.
I want to live in your world. It sounds lovely and peaceful!!!
this is beautiful...
beautiful you
in your sweet apron...
loved your description of your day!
I like that apron and headband. I'm looking for something similar to make for myself. I got a new sewing machine recently and I need to get sewing.
Like how you went from annoyed to grateful. It makes for a much better day, does it not?
You are very pretty!
I'm an apron fan myself but haven't gotten around to creating any. Your blog inspires me to finally start making my own dreamy ones :>
Love seeing you in your creative element.
