Mother's Day Aprons

I decided (a little too late for it to be sane) to help Jordyn and Kaitlin do aprons for their mom's for mother's day this year. I, of course would be doing aprons for my girls without daughters old enough to master one on their own. I had lots of fun sewing with the girls. They were very good students and together we made some pretty cute aprons for their Mom's to don while cooking. Kaitlin had two to make as she has two wonderful Moms. I would pin and sew on one, and she would duplicate it on the other. I traded back and forth like that so she worked equally on each apron and still only had to do the actual sewing of 1. (My lack of planning made the time short.) I have the girls modeling what they made below.

I spent the weekend we had Taylor and Daron at the cabin cutting and sewing aprons for the rest of my girls. I really wanted to do one for all the grandgirls too, but I never start early enough. I will post about the boys weekend with us, but I have to admit I was grateful for Grumpy's gift of games and keeping them busy so I could get my sewing done. I tried to put a little bit of Nana in each apron. I know how much she liked Cherry fabric, all things Betty Boop, polka dots, funny buttons, cupcakes, farm animal fabric (on Jade's apron was actually Nana's fabric bought for who knows what?) and jungle animal prints. Taya had a BBQ at her home for all our Mother's and to say goodbye to some of the family she may not see before moving. I gave the girls their aprons as they came in and had so much fun just doing that. R.B. and Stacie had made plans to be with her family, so I delivered her apron the next day. I made one for Megan as she is Stacie's assistant for the Pampered Chef parties Stacie does. (See her blog for her website if you are interested in Pampered Chef products). I will get some more aprons done for all the other grand girls sometime this summer. Maybe they can help me. Madison wants to do one for her other mother too.

Truer Words were never spoken.

"You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

For all our Cooks…

I created a site for us to post Nana's recipes, and our own recipes, complete with pics as we make them. I hope it will be fun to share all the things we do everyday in our kitchens. All of us have our favorites, things that challenge us and the special things we do for holidays etc. I hope you will all feel welcome to contribute and reap the benefits of all of us cooks. I hope it will be a way of sharing our stuff and keep Nana's kitchen legacy going. Just look under Sites I like in this side panel and click on the link The Cooks in Nana's Nook. Add it to your link list if you wish. I hope we will all have a good time with this. I love you all and look forward to sharing this as a family.
