Okay, first things first, Please forgive the hasty and slightly crappy photos below. It was one of those times when you worked hard on gifts but finished them last minute and barely remembered to snap a photo before you gave them away. It's just crazy how I've become so insistent on documenting all of my work. (
my high school math teacher would be so proud) So here are two of the projects I've been working on.....

Appliquéing on bath towels is my new addiction. It's really easy, the terry cloth is very forgiving and you don't even have to use Wonder-under to keep everything in place. This is the second set of towels I've made and I'm still not sure how well they hold up to everyday use. But they would also be cute just as decoration.

I really wish I had gotten a better picture of this pencil roll. I'm actually pretty proud of it. It's a combination of
Lori's pencil roll pattern and the color coordination from
Pink Chalk Studios. It was one of those tricky homemade gifts for a man, I just never know if it's going to be seen as lame or truly appreciated. Luckily, I think my friend really liked it or at least he was nice enough to pretend he did.
Well, it sure feels good to be back. We went on an extended family vacation that was a wonderful time beginning to end. But I sure am happy to be home, especially since I cleaned the whole house before we left and I don't have to do anything this weekend. woo hoo.

what the hell? you'll post on your blog BUT YOU WON'T EMAIL ME BACK?!
cute towels, by the way. but that DOESN'T STOP ME FROM BEING PISSED.
I just bought some of that sock monkey fabric. No idea what I'm going to do with it, but I had to have it. Love your towels.
So where did you score the plain towels? I love that idea! I would love to do that on non-white towels because white would quickly become non-white in my household.
Glad you're back!
I found the towels at Wal-Mart. I was absolutely shocked, especially since they are pretty nice and don't have that annoying band. Who knew I would become a connoisseur of plain towels??
