Hello friends...I could not wait any longer for my complimentary issue of the new Apronology magazine, so I ran to my local Joann's and bought one.
I opened it in the store and did a little happy dance as I turned to page 28-29.
There I was...this never gets old. I get goose bumps each time.
I created this apron using a vintage tablecloth that my mother-in-law, Dottie, gave me.
The hem is edged in pretty vintage hankies and jumbo rik-rak.
,This issue is just as fabulous as the past two issues. Filled to the brim with wonderfully creative aprons. You will find something for every taste in this magazine.
They did such a great job showcasing my work.
They were even kind enough to include the little story I wrote about what inspired this apron.

| my lovely niece Kelly modeling |
"He takes the dog eared photo from his uniform pocket. The image is that of a beautiful young brunette in a tiny kitchen. She is holding a pie that she just took out of her oven and the proud smile on her face says.."I baked this just for you my soldier boy..my very first pie". He remembers that send off day and the memory shoots a dart of pain into his heart. He loves and misses her so, but he knows he will someday be in that kitchen again. He will watch her tie that big beautiful bow of her lovely apron and he will be happy to be back home with her. Until that day comes, he will be content with the photo of his girl back home in her pretty apron"
I'll say it again....seeing your name in print, never gets old.
Here is a little sneak peak at some of the beautifully creative aprons in this magazine.
I am so honored to be included with these ladies...they all rock those aprons!!
A super special 'THANK YOU' to Ms. Beth Livesay, who was kind enough to browse my Etsy shop and take the time to e-mail me about my aprons and children's sweaters. I so appreciate her acknowledgment of all of the home studio artists who spend their days creating beauty.
Stampington & Company, the publisher, deserves a huge Thank You also for giving so many art forms a venue to share with others.
The editors, writers, photographers, proof readers..........you are all so valued...Thank You!!
Ok...now the bad news ...they have created a submitting monster. I'm already working on more possible submissions.
I encourage all my creative blogger friends to do the same!
Until next time...be kind and stay creative.

Beautiful apron! I, too create aprons from vintage items and would love to know how to submit one to Apronology. Do I just drop one in the mail on the hopes it's chosen or is there a process? Thanks so much! ; )
