This is a silly show and tell ...

[faithpa76]

I know there are lots of you who don't like towel toppers, lol, so you may want to back right out of this post.

 

I've never made one before - didn't really like any of the patterns I've seen. I grabbed one I've had for ages that my grandmother gave me, and the one from Lanette (she had my name in the kitchen & bathroom swap, and sent me a gorgeous one) and looked at both really carfully - took the characteristics I liked from both and created my own.

 

So - even though I had finished towels in hand, this is my first ever do-from-scratch-with-no-pattern, and I'm pretty proud of it. It doesn't match anything in my kitchen (although it will work in the second bathroom when i'm done with it) but it does match my bedroom - lol! I went through my mom's old button collection and found an old silver button that was on one of the dresses she used to wear.

 

And after all that - and this is all over a towel topper -

 

 

Thanks for looking and humoring me!

Very pretty, I like it.

 

Nothing wrong with towel toppers

 

[Empress Busy Bee]

I'm one that doesn't really like them but that one almost makes me want one. It's very nicely done and I love the dragonfly towel it's on. Makes it more updated and not that 'granny kitchen' look some have.

I like it - Good Job

I have never been a huge fan of towel toppers but I LOVE that one! And I really love the towel you used too and the colors you chose are perfect for it. Where did you find a towel like that? My oldest daughter is getting ready to move out on her own and she loves dragonflies.

Did you right down the pattern? If so, would you like to share it?

[Granny Faye]

I think that it's very nice. I like towel toppers. The color is pretty.

[123mama]

I think it is nice.

 

I have one on my oven door and 2 in the bathroom. The one's that are in the bathroom I used a silver western type scarf holder for the button and they are pretty

I don't remember where I got it!! I *think* I got it at a dollar store - it was back before Christmas. I have a second one (that hasn't been "topped") that I'm not likely to use, send me a PM if you'd like it for her and I'll mail it to you.

[Jewels]

It's awesome! You sure picked up the colors in the dragonfly perfectly.

[RebeccaVelasquez]

you did a fabulous job!!!

hey, towel toppers make towels convenient, right!?!

[becjac67]

Wow! Thank you so much! That is really very sweet of you!

I hope you will let me send you a little goodie in return for it as well.

 

Thanks again!

[bythehook]

Well, I love it! You did a great job on it. I got some ideas from your post...never thought of using them in my bathrooms before, but they would work great!

[creativegoodness]

Well, if it's silly then so am I because I love it. You did a great job and it looks really cute! I'd love for you to share what you did.

[yarnnutamy]

I've never had the courage to do a towel topper, but yours is really neat. It would go well in my bathroom....LOL

[LanetteG]

I love it Faith! I really love that the button came from someplace special! The colors are great!

[LanetteG]

By the way, they come in really handy in the laundry room too!

[deneen]

It's not silly, anything you make is a "creation". Looks very pretty!

[Seneca and Scooch]

Faith, that is so pretty! I agree, it's not silly at all! I like making towel toppers. I have never thought of using one in the bathroom or the laundry room, good ideas!

I like it. One of the best I have seen.

[CraftyChristine]

I like it a lot! I'm not a huge fan of towel toppers either, but this one's cute! When I saw it, my first thought was that it would be cute in yellow, with a towel that had bees on it (it reminds me of a bee hive!) (And that's a good thing lol)
