If you have read the articles in my homemaking section, you will know that I love aprons. As I was looking through Mrs. Meg Logan’s blog (she kindly left a comment on my log cabin quilt, thank you!), I saw that she had an entry on aprons with some great links!

One of them is this site with the best collection of aprons I have seen! I have been drooling over it for the past ten minutes! I love the variety, colors, and styles of these aprons. I myself am a very plain apron person. I don’t like frills, but I do like pretty!

I make my own simple aprons. I like to use a medium weight fabric because I am constantly wiping my hands on them and if they were thin cotton, they would get wet too soon! I prefer full aprons so that my entire body is covered. I am short and often lean against the bench top and get all sorts of stuff on me when I am baking or cooking! Sometimes I will wear a short apron, and then find that something will splatter out of the frypan on my top! So I’d rather be nicely covered! LOL!

Another site is Hillbilly Housewife - she has written her story of starting to wear an apron. She ends her article with this paragraph:

“I like my aprons. They have changed my life, raising my standards, inspiring me to greater feats of home making skill, and making me more effective as a parent. Whoever thought that a dollars worth of fabric and lace could effect so many changes on one woman and one family? Since my success with aprons I have become a true believer. I am now called to spread the word among my fellow housewives. Join the crusade by sharing your love of aprons with friends, family and internet buddies around the world. Together we will change the face of the House Wife, the world over.”

I feel the same way. I want to spread the news that wearing an apron can change your attitude about being a Keeper of the Home! I also want to start a collection of links to other aprons sites. Let me know about any good ones you’ve found, and I’d also love to hear your story about aprons, if you love them as much as me
