Winner of the Giveaway by Gingham Life

Happy Raining Morning Apron Goddesses!! And I hope you east coasters are snuggled up warm with all that snow that is falling.

I shall let the curtain fall on the winner of the apron from Ginham Life, finally. I am a wee bit behind since I have been preoccupied with sprained ankles, icing, and writing my kids book, BUT I have not forgotten, just delayed this announcement.

At number 31, an extra credit number, came up for Singings at Sewing Through the Muck.

Congratulations Singings as you are the winner of this lovely retro style apron. It has been made with care by Gingham Life's owner Sally.

Thank you Sally for your sponsorship! Your work is wonderful.

Now to all other Apron Goddesses out there please remember supporting our hand made sponsors helps our nation's economy and folks who live and work in the USA!! And I have researched that the retail prices are comparable to all overseas manufacturing so you don't save money by buying those items made outside our country.

Consider home made and handmade first please!

How DARE They Mock US!!!!!

I am just disgusted at this moment. I found this picture of these two "men" who feel it's OK to make fun of APRONS!!!!

They are not wearing them properly, they are not cooking, and the look on their face says something else all together.

I must declare these two boys are just NOT Apron Goddess material. Maybe the guy in the black hat just needs to have the "bull" behind him to prod some sense into his half pint of a brain. Don't mess with the Goddesses or you're getting the horns!


At least have the courtesy of TYING the aprons, THEN take your picture!

This Apron Picture Falls Under the "I Don't Know" Category

Um... Um.... Um.... Why are those rocks wearing white aprons? Maybe this looks a little shrine-like? There are four bowls in front of the apron-wearing rocks. And then plants in vases in front of that... Is this some fertility ritual?


Well, if you have the answer to what this apron photo is all about please feel free to share with us the history to this mystery...

Charlie Sheen in an Apron

Ever watch Two and a Half Men with Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer? No? Really? Well what are you waiting for? It is hilarious! Charlie Sheen (Charlie) plays an alcoholic womanizer while Jon Cryer (Alan) plays his divorced brother whose ex-wife bleeds him dry financially. Alan does have morals, but is a bit awkward and geeky as well as a mooch (financially speaking). Together they share a condo in Malibu (that belongs to Charlie) and care for Alan's son. Great show, very comical.


I especially love that the writers have incorporated aprons into the show. I love the roosters on Charlie's apron as he appears to be cooking. And Alan's Santa apron with his Santa hat are great. It's nice to know that "Real Men" aren't afraid to wear an apron.......even if it means they only wear it when in character.

If you haven't seen it go to CBS and find out when it is on in your area.

I Just Found the Funniest Site... But I'm Warning-If You're Easily Offended Don't Come Visit.

Close your eyes ye of faint hearts or with little humor. You better drag out your funny bone from under the couch and just laugh at these. It'll do you some good.

I just found the silliest, wackiest, most "I've got to have one," hand made item tonight. I never thought these were possible or even probable, but I am often proven wrong on many things.

The GENIUS'S (four sisters of course) at Dirtydish Towels makes these awesome "rags" to dry dishes. Not that I get drunk cooking, except once, but I love the theme of this dish towel below. Call it a sickness inside me I guess.


The next one is not for the easily embarrassed woman, so close your eyes if you don't want to be offended.

I HATE shaving so this one really speaks to me. I think my husband would flee the house in horror if I handed him this one to dry the dishes.

These dishtowels are really embroidered with colorful, fun, and suggestive sayings and/or pictures. Some are just a bit to naughty for me to post but the "Ho's" who make them aren't holding back. (They call themselves the Four Ho's by the way).

There are many, many other naughty dish towels offered at Dirtydish Towel, LLC and you can browse them HERE.

Now wouldn't ya know.... These brilliant ladies also make lots of handmade APRONS with the same kind of "messages" embroidered on the pockets. Subtle yet so poignant if I do say so myself. Check them out HERE.

Maybe I can convince the Ho's to sponsor a giveaway. I can always try...

But for your laugh of the day, make you way over to the Ho's place and see what all the fuss is about. You'll either be shocked senseless or laugh for a half hour. Take your pick... Then plan who you are going to send a set to for their birthday, anniversary or Christmas.
