Fall apron swap!!

Im doing the sassy apron fall swap and didn't realize it would take me this long to figure out how to do a simple apron. yikes.

Lately while away from old Deb (my sewing machine) I've been having a heap of fun on youtube watching the Chupacabra, and cruising Urban Outfitters for haircut ideas. Im getting it cut today in St Pete by my dear and most beautifullest friend, Mary. Shes a gem. We met in Philadelphia my first semester in college and we were the only two sane people who didn't love snow (being native Floridians you know, we're OK with hurricanes and that sort of thing-just not freezing weather). Ive since changed my mind about snow but not about our friendship. She truly is such a generous and lovely person. Everyone should have a friend like her!
I'll post pics if it's not a complete bust, which I'm sure it won't.

Updates of Note: I sewed a beautiful pink and brown themed retro apron along with an oven mitt that was sent to someone I have never met in my life! For some reason my apron never made it to me though, so I guess it wasn't really a "swap". So, I emailed a few people, and found out that it had been sent but to the wrong address. This address though had received the package and kept it! I was miffed when I found that out, so I sent them a little lovin via USPS.
I wrote to them to please contact me because I didn't know who they were but my apron was making itself at home there apparently. To make a long story, well, longer, I was contacted back by said thieves only to find that they were the two girls I was supposed to live with in Gainesville, FL in the fall of 2009. Oopsies! Talk about onset senility- How did my apron end up there I wondered and how did I not remember having it sent to that address!? Must have been the dang computer's cut and paste. So, I made arragements for it to be sent back, but still, no sign of my wandering apron. I guess I'll let them keep it for now!
