Christmas in the Kitchen

This sounds like an awesome swap! I can't wait to get started! Ideas are already running through my head! I love Christmas and I love homemade gifts at Christmas time! Julie

This sounds like lots of fun.

I have the perfect fabric, count me in ;-)

could you buy a apron and use iron ons?

AliciaAmy - you could buy a handmade apron if you want to play along. Etsy has them and maybe some other crafty sites. But no, a purchased apron with iron ons isn't the same as a handmade apron.

I can surely join by the 15th. Thanks for inviting me. I make new Christmas ornaments every years for all my children, grand children, nieces nephews, great nieces & nephews etc. It takes about 43 to do that I will add an extra to list. I am packing a box in my head as I write........LOL

Thanks for the info. maybe next time.

Ladies, I am so excited about this swap! I have a Christmas theme that I am running with! Now the problem is narrowing down the gift ideas that go along with this theme! Julie

This swap sounds like so much fun. This will be a great way to get the season going. I love christmas. It is my favorite time of the year.

I'm so happy to see so many of you signed up! I think we're going to have a good time. We should all have new Christmas aprons just as the season gets started and two new cookie recipes to break them in!

Thanks for playing along.

I love new cookie recipes!

Are we doing half or whole aprons?

Good question Caranam. I personally like a whole apron, though a half is nice if it is full, meaning long and generous, useful. (LOL! Maybe not the best way to describe it, but I hope you know what I mean - not a short skimpy half apron.)

Read your partner's profile, check the comments made here, consider what your sewing strengths are and do the best that you can do.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Hi all, as for aprons, I'm rather tall & most full aprons don't fit me well so I would prefer a half apron. I do have some great full apron patterns so I could make either one. Looking forward to the 15th

Hi everyone! I am sooo excited about this swap! As for aprons... I would prefer a full apron.

If anybody is looking for an international Christmas Apron Swap

I wish I could join both!!

Claumiu, Just curious... how do you get "Christmas Apron Swap" so you don't have to put the address? if I decide to post something it would be good to know.

Hi - My preference is for a half apron, and a short skirty style is also fine by me. Thanks. Can't wait to get these goodies in the mail! :)

How fun! I am very excited. I just recently discovered Swap-Bot--I have been waiting for another apron swap to open up! I do not have a preference on half or full, but I do wear a size small. Christmas is my favorite time of year! YAY!!

My fabrics & I are waiting for assignment. I would love to start but am waiting for my partners preferences. I guess I will just make the ornament while waiting....LOL I prefer full aprons because I am soooooo messy. I am a full figured lady LOL & Love big pockets because I am always crafting & carry an assortment of things around with me. Karen in California

I love aprons so count me in

Partners are assigned tomorrow! Is everybody ready? I'm anxious to get started! I have Christmas fabrics in my stash and have been looking at new fabrics, too.

I hope to be able to have partners assigned early tomorrow!

Hi,

I am excited and I am an average weight person so either a 1/2 apron with pockets or full apron is fine for me! WOOOOWIE!!!!!

I prefer a half apron-but if you want a full would be fine. Just make long strings-Im not a small person.

Cant assign partners till the 16th!

NieceDenise, I'm just so ready to get started!

Very excited about this swap, I have my ideas at the ready ;-)

I don't mind 1/2 or full aprons.

I like either full aprons with an open back or half aprons that go almost all the way around the waist!

I like a full or a half is ok with me

Hi I do like 1/2 aprons best but will take either one gladly :) - looking forward to this swap!

Aprons go out this week! I am so excited. I plan to ship by Wednesday...How are you other ladies doing? :-)

I'm just finishing mine up. I'll have mine in the mail by Thursday. It's going all the way to Alaska!

wow! Alaska! I think that is one of the neatest parts about swapping...something we make ends up across the country or world! this week mine is going to CA, but next week one is going to UT.

I just dropped my package off! How's everyone else coming along? I tell you, time creeps up on you, doesn't it? When I first posted this swap it seemed so far in advance, but looking back it seems just a couple of days ago that I posted!

Check in when you have time, let us know how you're coming along, if you've mailed and if you've received. Tell us about your packages!

I mailed on Tuesday...I just checked my tracking number online and it has made it to California! She should get it today or tomorrow :-)

I just realized I forgot to include my second cookie recipe! So if you get a package with only one recipe...be expecting a note in the mail with your second one! I am so sorry!!

You aren't the only one who forgot to include the cookie recipes! Isn't swapping fun!

I have to share - I got my package today. It's the coolest apron! I totally love it! As soon as I can get a picture I'm going to post it on my blog so you can all see my gorgeous new Christmas apron - and matching pot holders!!

I finally posted my Christmas in the Kitchen package on my blog, if you'd like to take a look.

I also love Christmas. The street is gorgeous. Moreover, this is the time for my family to get closed together after a long time. eggy car

Your post is fantastic. That is the precise answer I've been seeking for. I would also suggest to everyone about roller baller and connect dots . These are two games that promote fitness and are guaranteed to be enjoyable for you as well.
