thunder rumbled
Washed Mothers dress and sweater and our stockings and ironed aprons and dresses-
Mother wanted to run away to brick house but was mad when I insisted on going along-
Hay buyer came with Leroy Bower-
Aunty worked in yard-

Cloudy and fog
Thawed all day but colder this eve
nearly finished an apron when I broke a machine needle*, the last one-
Sent a letter to Lloyd in Montana this morning-
Mother has been quiet and good all day-
*I was under the assumption that Irene was hand sewing these aprons. This would be number 6 I believe. I wonder what machine she had? The above Singer is similar to one we found in my grandmother's house in Cato, NY the 1990s.

South wind and thaws-
Cloudy and dull-
Done all the chores and got 2 bushels of corn from corn house-
Finished the 4th apron* for Mother and have one well started for Aunty-
Mother has been fine all day
*Since Irene has made about 10 aprons in less than 2 months, I thought I would look around the internet & see what I could find. I found this great blog called Apron History where I found the above image. The blogger (Heidi) even has vintage 1930s aprons in her collection. She has some great images, tutorials, & vintage aprons.
