A stitch in time....

In my last post I showed a pic of a new apron I was making...
this is why.
 I've had this apron for 30 years, and it is literally falling apart, so I bought a paper pattern...
 and made my basic apron. But how to make it "mine"?
 That's when Quoth the Raven posted their latest challenge...
a whole list of things from which to pick 3 to use on your entry.
I chose Flowers, Red and Stitching
and made myself some very shabby flowers with layers of fabric scraps, over-stitched with red thread.
 I stitched these onto the neckline of my apron...
 but I felt my apron lacked "Poe-ness"
so I searched for an appropriate quote to hand stitch across my pinny...
 From "In Youth I Have Known One"
the sentiment "How often we forget all time..." seemed just perfect.
 How true it is. How many times have you been caught up in a craft project and lost track of time?
I do it at least once a day lol

Now off to get messy, mwahahaha.....:D XXX
