Feeling crafty

My sister Abby spent the night on Tuesday and I was really wanting to do something crafty so she didn't get bored. I decided it was time to finally use the sewing machine my mom bought us for Christmas in 2007 and time to spruce up our guest bathroom. I had used gift cards to buy nice towels (a first for us!) and purchased a plain white shower curtain with the intention of adding some embellishments to it. So, it finally happened and I was so glad Abby was there to help cuz she came up with the idea of the bows on the top and it totally completes the picture.

This ribbon is to help people stop and think before using my nice decorative towel for drying their hands and to use the plain green one underneath instead! Hey give me a break, how long have I waited for nice towels?

The ribbons on the shower curtain are to coordinate with the rows of green on the "decorative" white towels. We've had a dark green curtain in our bathroom for years and I was very ready for something a lot lighter and softer.

The proud artisans!

Fortunately the entire project only needed straight stitching and a few hand sewn finishes. It took about 4 hours. On to the next project!
