You've inspired me to go find a pattern and make some aprons. My Aunt Mickey (now in her 90s) made my first apron and the most recent apron I have...the first when I was in high school, and the most recent about 5 years ago!!! (I'm more than middle-aged now) I have the urge to sew...and you are the inspiration.

By using a clear glass bottle you can see the pit fall and know the cherry is "pitless!"<br />I'm doing Rainer Cherries in a jam this weekend--they're finally plentiful and a good price at the farmer's market.

However, my mom always said, "just take a day at a time and it'll get done!" I trust in those words.
