Super Cute Apron

On Thanksgiving morning (why, yes, this post is extremely late!), my friend Michelle stopped by to give me a gift to help me out with my first Thanksgiving at my house. She gave me the cutest apron ever. I had to model it for the camera.



Just my colors in black and white, trimmed in pink, and a big pink A embroidered on the pocket! I wore it all day, and Steven kept looking at me, shaking his head, and saying, "You look like a happy little housewife!" It wasn't said in a positive tone. I took offense and said, "Well, I am a happy housewife!" I guess he thought it made me look a little too domestic and Stepford-ish. But maybe it was just the blissful look on my face because I knew I looked darned cute in the thing!

The next photo is my threatening the cats with their lives if they dared to jump onto my set table. (You can see that Doogie, who is generally our good boy, was listening attentively. Calvin, our resident Punk Cat, was turned away and pretending I wasn't talking to him.) Thankfully, they took me seriously and decided to be very good boys that day. Well, until late that night when I set about deboning the turkey. They were acting so dramatically starved that I had to have Steven lock them up in the bathroom while I finished my work.

The apron is adorable! And I love the photo of you lecturing the cats. Mine were hanging around the kitchen waaaaay too much on Thanksgiving, too. After we washed the pan my Mum put it in the other room. We found one of the cats IN the pan! lol She had to move it to her car.

Super-cute! I, too, really love the photo with the kitties. Do you know if the apron was homemade or purchased somewhere? If it was purchased, any idea where??? :)

Becky, it's not homemade, but I don't know where she purchased it. I'll try to remember to ask.

It is adorable! What if you had pearls and a frilly skirt to complete the look?

I love it! I have one particular apron that I wish was a dress. I second the pearls and frilly skirt.
