For Tie One On, my ongoing make-an-apron challenge, I have chosen a lot of apron themes. I think it's been 36 now over the years. You can see them all here. I usually choose themes alone, but often my husband gives input. Usually, he is ignored. There's a delicate balance in our exchange— he tries to suggest the worst yet funniest and most imaginative theme, while I ignore him and try not to laugh or react. He is a master of summoning up both the disturbing yet sometimes ingenious themes that are even funnier when trying to imagine them interpreted in a homemade apron. A snippet of our conversation this morning:
Okay, I need an apron theme.
Airwolf.
I don't even know what that is. Is that a movie?
It's a TV show. How about Gone Fishin'. Beach Bum. Gold Rush. Black Hole. Road Trip.
Road Trip has potential. But I have already done Local Pride.
Great Lakes. Back to the Future.
I was thinking La Vie en Rose, but I just did Floral Fun and I have done Paris before.
Jungle Boogie. That's Amore. Jacques Cousteau. Under the Sea.
Under The Sea is good.
Smokey and the Bandit.
Oh my god.
Rhinestone Cowboy.
Oh, Rhinestone Cowboy. That could be horribly good.

You can see the aprons from the latest theme, Spring Showers, linked over here on Tie One On. I still haven't chosen a new theme. If any of these leap out at you, let me know.
