Welcome Joanne! So happy to have you here with us! I'm originally from Sacramento, and I sure miss "back home". One of my all time favorite restaurants is Awful Annies in Auburn. Do you ever go there?? I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Excuse me, hello :)
I was just wondering if the swappage will be explained at some point, or maybe I missed it?
Are we making a particular type of apron, or is this to be decided among the partners?
Sorry, a little new to swaps, but I'm a hopeless apron addict. :)

Luann, bot only have we been to Awful Annie's in Auburn but now their is another Awful Annie's newly opened in Lincoln! Lincoln? That tiny cow poke of a town with the old off again on again pottery factory, Roseville Pottery now so collectable that the Factory is historical, putting Lincoln on the map. We use to live 5 miles from town out past the tiny airport, eight years with ten acres of pasture for cattle. We had chickens with real eggs, beef while we were not vegetarians and even a horse and goats. Our children were betwwen 3 and 12 while we lived out there so we got the best years for them on a "farm". My husband tried the Mitlieter, raised bed gardening method which turned out to be alot of work just to set up. We had alot of flowers and a quince tree. It must sound funny to most of you actual, real, working farm gals out east of us but it was my taste of living sorta like on a farm. We drank cow's fresh milk, made butter and yogert, my husband did the bread making from whole grains he ground himself. Our kids learned alot in those years. We were right next plot to a private pond with a duck blind and full growth of trees, lots of wild bushes, rushes and cattails. Our elderly neighbors no longer hunted there and gave us free reign on it. We did not hunt either so it was a quiet wonderland that drew lots of wild birds, ducks, geese, etc. Onc my husband found an eglet stuck in a wire fence along the road, he saved him and we all took him to the pond where he probably belonged.
We once had a barn owl for a short visit, He or She had been standing in the middle of the road late at nite, I stopped thinking he would move but I think the car lites blinded him so I put a paper sack over him, held his feet and drove home so my family could see him up close. We had the "biggest" toad we thought, "in the world", my husband picked him uo the same way, in the middle of the road late at night. We all waited for warts to pop out all over him! Ha! The goat died, the horse was to big inspite of being the most gentle old gal. Turned out we were all too afraid to ride her, it was just too far up to the saddle! The chickens even eventually had to go as our beautiful bird dog got the flavor and we couldn't break her or give her away. My husband delivered them to the nearest little zoo where other chiclkens lived! Well as you see I am just a Wood bee farmgirl, had a nice taste with fond and fum memories then moved on
Roseville, the nearest city and our lives changed very much! that was all over 20 yrsw ago!!! My kids are almost as old as I am!!!! |

Wow! Joanne! It's so good to hear about your stories and life around Linclon/Roseville. I'm REALLY from Marysville, but most people don't know where that is so I say Sacramento, even tho I lived in Sac too for many years. I cant believe there's an Awful Annies in Lincoln!!! I remember stopping at the drive-in there(A&W) on our way back home from a day at Denios Flea market in Roseville. Great Fun!
Sorry girls, I know I'm off topic here, but it's so great to share memories with someone from back home!!
Please feel free to email me, Joanne. This is just great!!!

You know Tasha, some sicknesses are just not worth curing. I would say your apron illness falls into this category. As soon as I set my family room back to rights, I am getting out my sewing machine to make some aprons. I don't think I will ever catch up to you though. :) You are the queen!!

Hi all,
I wish I had seen this earlier - have been away on a lovely holiday visiting my new little niece. Could I be in the next round, if anyone wants to go again (I would say that would be a yes!!!)
Best wishes,
Jayne |

I'm so glad that you gave us until the end of January to get this done. With all the plans for the Christmas bazaar plus the holidays I would be going crazy if I had to get this done right away. I already have the idea in my head for Robin's apron and can't wait to go pick out fabric.
