HERS night!...Relief Society Night!

Well half of us are still stuck on Homemaking, Enrichment, but now we call it Relief Society Night.
Whatever...HERS covers it all!
 We started with Jeni and her wonderful presentation
of the $21 a week challenge. As one has come to expect -   very informative and a wonderful teacher.
Has since been asked to do it in the Dianella Ward.......good on ya luv!
 This was followed by an Apron Parade.
 Amazing the stories an apron can tell 
 
 Yvette with Guieseppe, who wasn't going to miss out .
He spent the night chasing his Mother and sisters up and down the cat-walk.
Our brave male......David. 
 Jeni modeling her 1980's memorablia....quite amusing!
Carol in the modern version of a depression apron. 
 Dianne. This apron was beautiful with blocks of French paintings.
the picture doesn't do it justice.Frills over the shoulder. Made by our lovely R.S. Pres. Honor Morris.
Here he is again , our David in a Butchers apron. Nearly all remember when they were worn in local butcher shop where the meat was cut in front of you.
 
Sylvia with a fasinating story about her mothers apron.
She wore this apron in the vineyards. It's pockets were filled with 'nuts' to ward off hunger during the long hot days , cutting instuments and wire. Behind Sylvias back is a grape vine twig.
Her mother would swat them with it if they got naughty.
Our bevy of beauties in the Vinyl aprons.....did you know they are sort after on e-bay?
 so if you have any hiding, epsecially with flowers, you could make yourself a bit of money!
Jim Balfour painted this apron, he called it the Tree of Life. 
 Yvette modelling her grandfathers apron. He was a baker.
and had a cake shop.
Just a rectangular piece of calico. It was so easy to make and could be adapted .
 Just loved it!
Another beautiful story. Jeni is a master practisioner for the "spark of Life  program"
The program helps patrons with Alzheimers.  She went to a conference in Canada last year
and each person was presented with an apron, painted by a 'A' patient.
The man who painted this apron had lost his ability to speak,, but he loved to paint .Such beautiful soft colours, just perfect! 
 And here is your 'desperate housewife' compere!
