...So many exciting things are happening, check back often for breaking news, more aprons and other items debuting soon as well as a new blog where among other things, I'll be interviewing other artists including authors, craftspeople, musicians, costume and set designers, painters, printmakers and chefs, to name a few...
+First up, join me through pictures as I visit the home of one of America's best loved and most well-know photographers, Ansel Adams. I'll be talking to his son about the legacy of his father and what makes a good photograph in this debut blog interview.

Thanks to all the wonderful customers who write, comment, and share their stories, ideas and compliments! I never thought I'd have so much fun getting to know all of you through aprons. It has been the great, unexpected GIFT of this business--some of you just knock me out with your thoughtfulness and your humor and it's been so rewarding for me personally, to help you. New customers, message me for any questions about customizing your apron. Every day brings a new challenge and an interesting twist to things. I love it.

Adult APRON SIZES include S/M which fits a women size 2-14; M/L is also available by request and fits a woman, size 14/16 to approximately size 18/20 and there is NO CHARGE for this, but extra longs ties are and additional $1.00. If you are at a size 14 point, you can go either way, sizewise.

Yes, I can personalize! Machine embroider names, initials or business name just about any apron. Message me BEFORE you purchase --Yes, I can make all-black aprons. And for security, try a pearlized snap on any, or many, pockets. Velcro closures are also available and for keys and ID badges, D-rings. Interested? Message me for details.

Other prizes, drawings, free gifts and special notice on new products, (even special events!) are also part of the PhyteClub experience -- for details, message me.

All Foodphyte Aprons, with all their little unique qualities, are made from original handmade patterns I've made and developed myself. I think that original design is very important and part of the ETSY handmade buying experience and I'm very proud to offer you that with each and every purchase. I believe ETSY sellers should strive to be ethical people in the marketplace and seek to create a friendly, respectful environment for customers and, fellow sellers.

A Big Thank You to HGTV's, "Cash and Cari" and their "Repurpose" Booth at Country Living Magazines' Annual Fall Fair! Foodphyte aprons were for sale at their booth at the Atlanta and Columbus Shows -- and Repurpose staffers, donned custom made Foodphyte aprons for the show...be sure to visit next year...

Customer Order General Guidelines:
If you place a custom order, know that at some point, I may need to contact you about specific design issues. If you do not respond to Etsy messages or email, I have no other way to communicate and your order will -STOP- at that point until we can make some shared decisions. Virtually all of you are terrific with communication and responding, so thank you for that. It's very helpful.

FYI: Customers, if you have a special event or are, say, leaving the country, make a point to double check your message to be sure you have told me the correct date. -; )

================================================================

----Form and Function Utility Apron, 13" Pocket Standard Options, Pockets are Lined-------
+Two pockets, center slots for a pen/pencil/scissors/crochet hook, two larger pockets are good for anyone who really needs to see into the pocket -- great for clothespins, school tickets, or a larger notepad or a Kindle
+Three pockets, IDEAL for those who use the apron to carry a CELL PHONE or yellow stickie pads, or a notepad
+Three pockets with fourth slot for lip gloss, larger dry erasable markers, scissors, or a small ruler. I like to touch up my gloss between class periods, so it's nice to have it handy so I don't have to dig through my purse.

-------Multipocket Utility Apron, 11" Pocket Standard Options, Pockets are Fully Lined------
+Six pockets, ideal for those with MORE to organize and carry, center pockets can
hold flat bills, tools, large scissors; lower, shorter pockets work well for change, lunch tickets, stamps, vouchers and small craft items like beads and pins because you can invert the pocket and dump out the contents
+Eight pockets, all the same pockets as the six-pocket but with two added small pockets for say, dry erasable markers, business cards, a lip gloss, several pens, scissors, small ruler
+10 Pockets are available by request and work well for crafters, makeup artists, or anyone with jobs where a number of tools or items are required. Hello quilters!
