What I did this evening...
I machine embroidered these two kitchen towels that I purchased a while back and put teapots on them. I thought they came out cute and for the first time I did something for me!

Otherwise, I'll be posting it for sale. Mine is only 3 yrs. old this month. AND I've only used it 1/2 that time because I leave it here when I go south for the winter.

Thank you for the compliments. The embroidery pattern came from the website Embroidery Library www.emblibrary.com. The stabilizer I used a tear away stabilizer that I bought at Jo-Ann's I think the cost was $2.99 a yd. but I used a 40% coupon. The kitchen towels I bought for $3.99 for two of them at Old Time Pottery a while back.
