I kinda like 'em.
Right now, I'm wearing a mushroom fabric half-apron. I also own a hippie-looking batik half-apron and a green gingham half-apron with green and pink rick rack. When I wear one of them, I feel so... domestic. And productive. I swear, I accomplish twice as much each time I knot one behind my back. Today, for instance, I purged almost all the plastic and lead items from the kitchen (for some reason, I wasn't ready to toss them all out before, so I had shoved them to the back of the kitchen cabinets). I also swept and spot mopped, cleaned off the fronts of the kitchen cabinets, moved my teapot collection to the top of the cabinets, made bread, cleaned the stove and counters, did the dishes, and rearranged the contents of all the cabinets to suit my diabolical needs.
Okay, so the aprons may not be the source of all my powers. The coffee might have had a little something to do with it, too.
Now to direct my super cleaning powers to the master bathroom. Bwah hah hah!
(P.S. I want an apron like this, next. Wow....)
Update: Well, I ended up doing much more than I listed here. I swept and mopped the bathroom, cleaned the counters and toilet, rearranged some things in the bedroom, vacuumed, and then spent some time with my brother. Phew!
Second update: I bought a new (to me) apron for $1.50! It's another batik half-apron, much like my first one. Utterly cool. Yay domesticity!

Way cute apron. I've not seen one like it yet! Thanks for sharing.
I have only one apron and use it daily. I really need to make a few more after I get my sewing machine set up.
My favorites are the full apron type, so that I don't get food splatters up on my shirt.
My current one I got at World Market and it has lots and lots of bright red cherries all over it. It's awesome.
Maybe it does impart superpowers....I always do better work and make better food when wearing it...
I'm feeling very inspired to make an apron! Wow, I love the one in the picture!
I love this apron so much! I'm going to make one! I saw your blog via MDC btw.
I'd love to make an apron, I'll put it on my to do list:) Love that patchwork one as well, I just purchased 'Patchwork Style' by Suzuko Koseki and am falling in love with all things patchwork.
Thanks for sharing.
