My Cafe

I love coffee. Ask anyone that really knows me and they'll tell you how much I love it. So I am trying to make my kitchen look like a cafe. While poking around online I found some coffee iron on designs. So off to Joann's I go to see if they have them. A whole four dollars later (so much cheaper than my favorite hobby knitting) I have the iron ons, fabric and thread to sew some cafe squares for a wall quilt. The thread I found fades from one shade of brown to the next. Its so pretty! I almost have the first block done. Granted my sewing skills are needing some improving.
I'm also trying to convince my husband that he needs to make me a rack for my apron collection. Its so sad to see them hanging out of sight. If he makes it for me then when you walk in my back door you will be greeted by bright colorful aprons.

I bought an apron.......

Big surprise I bought an apron........but its not for me. :) Its for a friend of mine who is taking care of my cats while I am in California. My mom and I took the kids to a local festival and there was a womans group selling them. When I saw the apple one I knew Cheryl had to have it. Her kitchen is decorated in apples and this matched it perfectly. After we got home I noticed a paper in the pocket. It reads..........
Ten Reasons Why I Should Wear An Apron
10.It makes people think I am domestic.
9. It gives the neighbors something to talk about.
8. My children will never ask, "Whats that?"
7. My dog needs a bath.
6. It would make my mother proud.
5. I love to BBQ!
4. I love to party!
3. It hides the spot on my clean shirt.
2. The man in my life may think, "Whats cooking?"
1. I'VE HELPED THE HIGHLAND WOMAN'S CLUB TO ACHIEVE THEIR SCHOLARSHIP GOALS WITH MY DONATION.
How perfect is that. Now to go stick the paper back in the pocket so she can enjoy the top 10 reasons also.
