Flirty Apron Swap

Yes, I know this is not a normal post from me - it's not a recipe. But, aprons and recipes go hand-in-hand, so I think it's still appropriate. :)

I stumbled on the Flirty Apron Swap last week and thought it would be really fun to participate. It will be a great way for me to force myself to get my sewing machine back out and practice my sewing skills. Plus, my very talented mother promised she would help me make my apron for the swap, so my partner won't have to worry about the quality of the apron they receive. It will be great! Anyway, here are the details of the swap if this sounds like fun to you:

Deadline to Sign Up: March 2, 2008
Deadline to Mail Aprons: March 31, 2008

Total items required to receive a Swap-Bot 5 rating for the swap:
* Handmade adorable adult-sized apron (by you or you could buy one on Etsy I suppose)
* A kitchen/cooking accessory of some sort - could be a fun gadget, a small cookbook, or new condiment. Must be valued at least $5.
* Two of your favorite recipes, preferably something fun, flirty and cute! =) (Feel free to make up a fun name for a more-ordinary recipe)
