I've had this weird desire for an apron. I'm tired of wiping my hands on my shorts. When I'm cooking, I get fancy and throw a dish towel over my shoulder and wipe my hands on that. So it's time for an apron.
I want a CUTE apron, though. If I have to do housework, and apparently I do, I want to have cute accoutrements. I despaired of finding the perfect apron for under $80, though, until I checked out etsy. Found a seller and maker of cute things who has tons and tons of fabric and is going to sew me an apron out of my choice of fabric. I chose the four Heather Bailey patterns on the left of this picture:
G's buying it for me for my birthday. I don't think the apron is available anymore, but her shop has lots of other cute custom things and she has almost every fabric available ever.
I'm heavily digging the handmade fabric bags, too. I love this from Mountain Gypsy:
What happened to Involuntary Simplicity, you ask? It's still going strong and I'm appreciating it even more. But I still like stuff I can use, want to support small crafters, and, most importantly, my birthday is coming up. Time to work on the Kaboodle list.

I'm a big fan of aprons. One of my favorite places I window-shop is http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5305118 (snappyshop on etsy). Very cute aprons and very well made. I've bought a couple as gifts and one for myself.
Tiaras are also nice to wear when being required to do housework.

Love your apron and the Kaboodle site, too.
Just so you know, I am SO cool. I've been wearing aprons forever and have managed to never wear one with some clever saying all over it. And no, I'll never admit that I wear them because I'm a horrible kitchen slob.
Clever saying - that's all I own! I got a "For this I spent 4 years in college" apron when I got married 32 years ago. It's still pretty much the only one I own.
(I thought Sarah said kitchen snob, not kitchen slob - ha!)
