*Disclaimer: I know, I look more than a little like a bottle of Aunt Jemima syrup in this pic. It was the apron I was going for when the photo shoot took place, so I moved my arms back and out of the way. Who knew that act was gonna make me look like a giant, full color, life-sized bottle of mapley goodness? I mean, who knew?!
Aunt Jemima aside, it's the apron that's the focus here. Why? Because I am a braggart. I have a new apron, and I had to show it off my cousins. I'll give 117 Cousin Points to the first family member who correctly guesses the origin and age of the fabric here. (And Julie doesn't count as an entry, because she made me this fabulous thing, and knows exactly where the floral beauty came from.)
Here's a hint: I've been instructed to sing "Do, Re, Mi" whenever I wear it (which I have done, thankyouverymuch), as that's the song you sing when you wear clothes made out of these.
... And now I'm oddly wanting to watch The Sound of Music and have a sing along. I think I will. Singing is good exercise for my diaphragm - and we all know that my stomach muscles need all the help they can get these days.
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu (for now, anyway).

I love that apron. You do have the best cousins. :)
Isn't it from Grammy's house? one of the bedspreads?
If I'm right, it'll be the first time I have a better memory than practically anyone in my family and I will really value my 117 points!
(If I'm wrong, oh well, I'm kinda used to that too!)
Really enjoying your blog and twitters again! Glad you're feeling better enough to do them and hope to see you in August! xox
I forgot to say, whatever the fabric, it does make a lovely apron! :-)
Bethy, you get 117 points. It IS from Grammy's house. The bedspread and curtains in their bedroom were this fabric. Your mom had the curtains - Julie found and comandeered them (surprised much at that?) and made this fab apron for me. It's so great, I love it! And the coolest thing is that the apron is backed by the original curtain lining. So, it's all totally authentic to G&G. I love it! (And you. I love you, too!) :-)
