Hot Off the Sewing Machine
Here is the latest apron I made. I really love the color combination. I don't know if I'm going to keep it or give it away. The next project will be some throw pillows for the couch at work.
Thanks, WC! I'd still have to keep my day job if I went into the apron making biz. I recently bought a similar apron on ETSY for $22. Let's see: $22 minus the $10 I spent on supplies = net $12. And if I was REALLY fast, I might get one apron done in 4 hours. LOL I'd be broke!
Let me explain. The term bubbler is a quintessential Milwaukee thing. A bubbler is what the rest of the world (except Rhode Island, parts of Connecticut and the Boston area) would call a drinking fountain. The Yoopers also use it, but we all know they are just Wisconsin wannabees anyway. When I first moved to California, I would use the term and get blank stares in response. The world was a much smaller place then and I had no clue that bubbler was just a regional colloquialism. I use it as the title of my blog as a way to connect with those that know what it means and hopefully interest those that don't.
Born in Milwaukee, I moved to Southern California in 1980, with a five-year hiatus in Maui.
I now live in Torrance, California with my SO.
I design circuit boards, a job I totally love. If I wasn't doing that, I would love to have a small restaurant.
Things that make me happy: cooking, eating, music, and vegetating in my backyard.

I love the fabric! Very cute and appropriate. Pink and brown is a very nice combo too. You should sell all the aprons you're making. :)
