This year for Christmas, I created some sweet half aprons for my mom, sister, niece and myself. We chose some lovely pink ribbon fabric that incorporates teapots and lace and all things pretty & feminine. I made each one a little bit different and added some vintage linens for pockets. I like how the pink polka dots add a little whimsy and fun.
On Thanksgiving, we each wore our aprons in support of those dear ladies in our lives who have fought and are still fighting the battle with breast cancer. I wore mine in honor of my dear friend
Cora, Cousin Wilma, my sister-in-law Teresa and
Deena. You are always in my prayers!
Mom, Me, Kaila and AngieNotice how Angie & I are the tallest in the group? We're only 5 feet tall! LOLFinally, thank you all so much for your kindness and prayers for me and my cousin Mickey's family. They are still in such need of your prayer support.
Blessings,
Lea

Oh those aprons are lovely dear one!
You know what you should do? Add a 'prayer request' list to the side of your blog. That way when us bloggers click on your blog, that will be one of the 1st things we see and we can instantly pray. You can then update the list daily or weekly so we know what's going on. :-) I don't know, just a thought.
Bless you dear one!
what a great idea!! i love the aprons!! maybe after the first of the year some of us could do a pink apron swap. it sounds fun to me!!!
I am so sorry about your aunt. I will continue to keep the family in my prayers.
Hi Lea, I love the aprons and I LOVE the family photo of all of you together. A cherished memory of your labor of love. God Bless...Rhonda
Lea,
This season has kept me busy and I haven't gotten to visit as often as I like....but here I am and I love your pink aprons and the reason behind them. The pic of you and family is very sweet.
Merry Christmas!!

Those aprons are just the cutest!! Now, I really should learn myself to sew.. *lol*
You're only 5ft tall? Wow! So.. that means.. even I am taller.. by an inch or two! And I always get teased for my height..
but mind you, people in Holland are the tallest on earth, so that's why I don't fit in..... my husband doesn't help either, he's a 6, 2"
Greetings from the netherlands!
Hello Lea~ Still keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!
your aprons are so pretty, great job! You have a lovely family, and I'm only 5' 3" :0) Small is good :0)
Your aprons are so beautiful!
Your aprons are gorgeous! I love pink and they're just so pretty!
OH! Those are beautiful Lea!!! You did a great job with them! I love the pic of all of you together! :o)
I love this idea! And you all look so cute in those aprons! Holiday hugs!!
Hi Lea,
What lovely aprons, and what lovely women who are wearing them!
What a good thing to do...love in action. The aprons are beautiful. May God bless and help each with the loss of your dear cousin.
Beautiful aprons Lea. You are so talented! I love that you wore them together in support of your ailing friends. I too have 3 friends with breast cancer. Maggie, Judy, and Dottie, and of course Cora. My brother's wife has ovarian cancer. It's such a devastating road.
You are the same height as my best friend of 35 years. I'm 5'8", so walking and shopping with her was never my favorite past time. :) I always tease her, "hurry up" and she's always saying, "slow down, you're always in such a hurry." Normal speed to me, but hurry to her. :) This is all in fun! :)
Continued prayer for your family members. :)
Darling aprons. I love aprons. I wish I could wear one to work sometimes! You know how handy it is to have a pocket in the front. Oh the good old days. Wouldn't go back though! Sweet idea.
The aprons turned out beautiful. And here I sit with a basket full of fabric and 'plans'. I have been furiously embroidering and since I don't tat,I will be sewing on eyelet lace for trim. I have a big note on my computer screen, reminding me to keep busy at it...
Your family get-together must have been wonderful. You are a lovely site in your aprons.
BTW-I am 5'10 1/2". I have always been the one they ask to get things from the top shelf! LOL
Sweet Lea,
You did such a wonderful job sewing all of those aprons - I can't choose a favorite! I have developed quite the apron "fetish" this year :) Even my little Mason like to wear an apron when he washes the dishes - too cute!
LEA,
You are once again the handy one. Those aprons came out really cute and what a nice idea to wear them in honor of your friends.
I really must get to making something with my new sewing machine. So far I just sit and look at it.

What beautiful aprons and a great cause to go along with them. Hope you have a good weekend. Blessings, Karen
Oh, Lea!
I just love y'alls aprons! You did such a beautiful job!!! I love all of them, but I believe that your sister got my favorite!!!
Speaking of your sister, you two look like twins! Your hair is so long and lovely....
I also thought it was cute how yours and your mom's aprons matched!
I wanted to tell you, too, that your comments just made my day! I've read them over and over again! Thank you so very much!
Merry Christmas and Many Blessings,
Julie
Hello Lea! You all look wonderful in your aprons-terrific idea! And I wish I was only 5 feet tall instead of being 6 feet tall!LoL!
Looks like you all had a great time in the kitchen!
Have a wonderful weekend!
