I had this plain Apron and thought hey why not put some embroidery on it. I did this a few years ago and because of all the time spent doing the embroidery I don't want to get it stained up. Got it out today and put it with my other aprons and decided its still an apron and I should use it as such. Sooooo I will put it on and not worry about it. I'M Almost sure there are more important things to worry about.
Nice here today, everything
so green and flowers so pretty.

Nancy Jo I agree with you - aprons are meant to be worn. Your lovely embroidered apron reminds me of afternoon tea on the porch.

It's a gorgeous piece Nancy and like fine china, why leave it on display and never use it? What and where will it go after you? Will it get used and appreciated as you would have? These are questions I always ask myself and questions my mother asked. Use it, if it gets a stain or two you would still love wearing something you decorated so beautifully! Sport that baby and enjoy life!

Definitely wear it! And if you have any embroidered pillowcases stashed away take them out and use them too.

Your embroidery is so sweet! And, yes, we should all learn to enjoy our special things today, for tomorrow is never promised... wear that apron and enjoy it!

NancyJo, do you remember the little bag you made for me with the squirrel embroidered on the front? He has been many places with me. I use the bag to carry floss for whatever project I am currently working on. It is the perfect size for that and my scissors. Whenever we travel I grab it to use on trips so I can do handwork while riding.

Very pretty. Let us know when you finally get the courage to wear it! LoL! I always save everything too! Why? I think it comes from growing up poor and respecting what I had because it wasn't that much. Anyone remember having Sunday clothes, school clothes and play clothes, never to be worn except then? If we don't enjoy our things now, then when? Life's short!

Be Blessed and Be a Blessing,

Nancy, that apron is just so pretty! I agree....wear it with love and pride! So many times we make things for others and it's nice to make something for ourselves to enjoy. Things are made to be used and enjoyed!!!

It's beautiful, for sure! I like the ones that fit like a pinafore as I found I'm so messy it gets all over, but I never remember to put them on! Eek!! I still have the red rose stitched apron that you sent me back when I was a new farmgirl, Nancy Jo! Of course, it is for special occasions. :)
