good afternoon!
you know the thought occurred to me recently
that what is a dream for some
is a memory for others...
and right at this very moment
somebody's dream is becoming a reality...
and then may just be a memory.
how strange is that?
what set me off on that chain of thoughts?
i was sewing this apron...
the fabric has little globes and cuckoo clocks
and words like 'destination', 'airplane' and 'exploring'
and names of countries...
a bit of gypsy glitter on the pocket,
pleats
and a tea towel loop.
long ties make a grand bow
or are long enough to tie around the front!
does this apron remind you of the travel you've done...
or
the dreams that you have
tucked away in your heart?
dreams of...
exploring the amazon in south america..
{being attacked by piranhas..
sorry, that would be my nightmare!}
or memories...
of safaris and sunsets
in africa?
i've remembered that this is 'my creative space'
&
i'm joining in with 'kootoyoo'!

ps...dreaming...this apron can be yours from my 'madeit' shop...button, top, right hand side!
What a gorgeous apron! The perfect way to promote happy memories! That material is lovely! So is your world globe! x
ReplyDeleteIsn't travelling great? As well in real as in your dreams, and an apron like that makes you dream about travelling while cooking!
ReplyDeleteIt's very lovely! I have always wanted to travel but with four kiddos now I don't see that happening any time soon. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful apron, love the big bow at the back. I also love that beautiful led light door in the top photo... that really took my eye!
ReplyDeleteI have dreams to travel one day, most definitely. I have only ever travelled within Australia, which is fabulous, but there are so many places I'd love to see yet.
Great apron to bring up memories of our travels! I'd bring the ties around and tie it in front for me.

Very lovely fabric indeed! The apron looks fab!
ReplyDeleteaaawh, how cool! love the fabric! It really gets me off on travelplans, I'm having a little road trip in two weeks and so antsypants about it! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh my!- that apron is so cool, Carol. Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteHaha, attacked by piranhas, what a nightmare. Visit Norway, no piranahs, just cute hedgehogs:))
What a wonderful apron. It does bring back lots of joyful memories. Thanks
ReplyDeleteLovely apron! Love the loop for the tea towel, great touch.
ReplyDeleteI haven't travelled much (I have seen a lot of Australia, being an army wife) but I have plans to take my Soldier and go on a trip somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere for our tenth wedding anniversary. We had better get saving on that, only two years away!
I'd love that an apron as a skirt and I'd wear it all summer (whenever that may ever roll around again).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Carol.
What fantastic material....and you have done a great job turning it into something special.
ReplyDeleteVery profound thoughts, Carol. I love the apron. I fabric is so interesting.
