Hello all! Yesterday was a pretty unpleasant day. The school I am interning at somehow lost it's plumbing capabilities. The toilets wouldn't flush and the water fountains wouldn't work. At first I thought; "Oh it's okay, I can wait an hour to go to the bathroom." 3 hours later I was not so sure, and by then end of the day I thought I might go into renal failure, if that's possible. I can't even imagine how the little kids at the school felt, although there was a lot of complaining coming from the hallway. At the end of the day I was very excited to get the heck out of there and rush home to you know....but then the principal announced that the plumbing would not be fixed for a while and there was no school tomorrow! Hurray I almost peed my pants with excitement! Long weekend for Lauren!
I got home and decided to kick off my long weekend by finishing up some sewing projects I have been working on. The woman I babysit for let mer borrow her copy of
Sublime Stitching so I have been doing some fun embroidery. I decided to put the fun little scraps to good use and make some fancy dishtowels.
I made 2 sets of 2, this is only one. The other set I can't show because it will be a Christmas present for someone. But I can show these two for
Amy's Sew-N-Tell.
Now I am off to do nothing on my unexpected day off!
Can't wait to see what everyone else made!

Lauren, sorry about the plumbing issues at your school, but good for you for having an extra day off!!! I love your embroidered towels. Especially the tea time one. If you like embroidery, you may want to check out Park City Girl's blog (parkcitygirl.blogspot.com I think). She is doing a color wheel embroidery project with instructions for everyone to follow along and participate. Enjoy your long weekend.
