Towels for Brian

My lovely husband Brian has been in Pittsburgh this week, and I missed him, of course.  That got me to thinking about making him something.  He's always saying that I make things for everyone but us which is not true at all.  It may seem that way, though, because most of my sewing for us is house things. 
No, they are not for the kitchen.  They're for Brian so that he doesn't have to go find something at the most inconvenient of times. Enough said.  Yes, Sandra, that is what these are for.  Now the question is, do I need a new category for these on Pinterest or can I just put them under sewing?

In the interest of keeping this about sewing, and just in case anyone is still here rather than off to remove my blog from their list, here are a couple of pics showing just why you really need to wash these towels before embroidering. 
 See how much the white one has "waffled" from washing above and shrunk in size below?  I love the after, so I'm happy.  They are from Target, $2.99.

  2. I tried. I really did. I just couldn't bring myself to use your "home-made wet wipes" in the Pinterest description let alone create a whole new category. Home-made Personal Items? Things That Must Not Be Named? That last one would only be understood by Harry Potter fans. How about Taking Crafting to a Whole New Lower Level or Gettin' Real-- Things You Need But Don't Want To Talk About.

  4. This has been one of the most beautiful fall seasons around here in recent memory. The colours continue to hang on to the trees or make beautiful carpets on the lawns and walkways. The temperatures are getting colder and colder though, and with Halloween now celebrated and behind us, I think it’s okay to start transitioning our mindsets toward winter. digitizing for embroidery
