But I stick my clothespins in my apron pockets, too. <br /><br />And with those high winds and temperatures, I bet your clothes were dry in a jiffy! I really hope you get some rain, though.Laura Ahttp://llasblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-30774038873856171792012-07-17T17:11:08.660-06:002012-07-17T17:11:08.660-06:00Very clever with the apron!

I hang mine out all willy nilly and your post stood out in my mind because of some contraption you had to put a crease in jeans. :)<br /><br />Hope your summer is treating you well.Cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216810837548735987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-11526309127640579772012-07-16T07:38:41.286-06:002012-07-16T07:38:41.286-06:00What a good idea for a clothespin apron.

I use the peg clothespins to anchor down the end line of my string of laundry - the first tow and last two items are pegged down, the rest with the spring pins.

I agree about quality clothespins - I had to give a bunch to the thrift store because they made me so mad; I hadn't noticed when I bought them that they were smaller and wimpier than the good old-fashioned ones.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-39595416254499535662012-07-15T21:21:37.496-06:002012-07-15T21:21:37.496-06:00Your apron is cute, colorful and very useful!

Sometimes being practical can also be upgraded with a bit of pretty!<br /><br />And yes, I grew up using both spring and peg clothespins! I preferred the spring ones, because sometimes I would try to put too much fabric under the peg clothes pins, and they would snap right off (they wouldn't break, but they would sort of fly up in the air, kind of like a Bic pen cap that is squeezed).<br /><br />One thing I DID like about the peg clothes pins was that I could easily make them into dolls and have an entire dolly family in no time. :) <br /><br />Loved seeing the lambies, too. It is amazing to see everything grow up so fast! Praying you have rain, too. We have had it VERY hot as well, and often have droughts. This past week we've been blessed with rain every day, but that was after a long spell without rain.<br /><br />Take care! - RuthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-54214876586611080092012-07-14T20:20:31.569-06:002012-07-14T20:20:31.569-06:00Now that's a good work apron for sure!!
