The Three Muses Challenge - Quirky Me.

In case the "blurb" above can't be seen properly, here it is again:

I admit it!  I wear aprons.  I make them myself because I need a voluminous pocket.  I carry around things that might be useful such as a length of string, a tube of glue, a pen, scissors, clothes pegs (pins), a pocket knife.  I use my pocket when cleaning.  It becomes a receptacle for balls of fluff, dried leaves, bottle tops, torn envelopes, other people's trash.  I sometimes keep a small radio in my pocket to keep up with the news.  I always carry my portable phone which is old-fashioned and weighs a ton.

My pocket has other uses.  It is a source of entertainment for my small grandson who loves to examine its contents, especially as I have been known to hide chocolate frogs (wrapped) in there.  I love my voluminous pockets.

An Ozstuffe Original.

    I share your quirk, too, Marie, I MUST wear an apron when cleaning and cooking, and yes they have big pockets but usually stuffed with tissues!! A prize piece, Marie, this has been a fun challenge to participate in.

    I love your apron story, Marie In my younger married days, I used to wear an apron when cooking on holidays, but that's in the long ago. Your grandchildren must find your apron a magical warehouse of mysterious things. I love your original art, and, as always, admire your skill with the mouse and Art Rage! You rock, my friend!

    I love this it made me laugh at the interesting quirks we have for who knows why...I am the total opposite of you I hate be weighed down with all the manusha of life that I "might" need and prefer to wing it. I don't even carry a handbag, just my wallet & phone. The cute and masterful way you have expressed your wonderful quirky self is just delightful...you sound like a fabulous grandma I'm sure your apron will be a family legend for many years to come.

    What a lovely habit Marie, an each-time-new-and-mysterious-and-full-of-curiosities world to be explored by your kids just at hand.
    And a very useful way to wear something sympathetic! :)
    I love your quirkyness and your grand ma' drawing too!
    Thank for sharing dear Marie.

    Thank you the big, big smile, Marie, and if I ever meet you I shall insist on a rummage in search of something quirky. I took to wearing aprons when I retired from work, but I never seem to use the pocket.
