"White Wednesday"

I received in the mail a copy of the new Apron-0logy
and perfect for white Wednesday.
Apron-ology is a special publication by Stampington & Company.

This apron is called "Shades of White" and made by Suzy Spence "SWEET"! her blog georgiapeachez.typepad.com and you can purchase her creations at georgiapeachez.etsy.com

On the front cover, bellissima!!! is Debi Hodge's "Courtship with White" Her pieces can be purchased online at breathingbesideus.blogspot.com

This is my "Market Apron" , simple and industrial looking.
The story goes...I can sew a straight stitch and made one the night before a market. Received few compliments so decided to hire Anita, wonderful seamstress and you can contact her at tatteredgoods. She made a couple for me to sell. I approached Beth Livesay in regard of my wearable solder art for the next issue of Jewelry Affair and asked her to check out my blog. Well she liked the Jewelry, but she loved the aprons? Sent few in and they choose this one.

This cute apron "Conventional Canvas" is made by Donna Downey, check out her blog donnadowney.typepad.com

Another photo of Debi Hodge's apron, so much talent. And you know what I like most of this magazine? There are instructions on how to! February I Apron-0logy will be available in book store.
Please visit Kathleen and check out all the other blouguettes White Wednesday.

Grazie Rita

    Rita everyone of these are just so pretty. I do love the one you did. I love aprons, but rarely wear them, because they are too pretty. Go figure...
    I enjoyed the interview of Christie on the new Glitterfest blog.
