a lot more...lol I went to Ikea with my sister as I'd never been before and I remembered some of you mentioning kitchen towels that they had there that were good for embroidery so I picked up 10 of them. Then we were going to a comic book store but they had stepped out for a few minutes so we went into the Kohls that was next door, I've never shopped in Kohls but I happened upon four packs of white cloth napkins for $2.50 and I just couldn't resist snapping up all 6 packages. I've got 4 or 5 weddings this year so I thought I'd come up with some kind of patterns that fit the couples and embroider on the napkins for them-they also came with a strap that buttons around the napkins to hold them together so that's pretty handy. One of the weddings is next weekend and lucky for me it was easy coming up with ideas for their napkins because their theme is love so it's all things hearts for them. I've also crocheted them an afghan so color me crafty...lol

I've gotten at least 5 towels embroidered and one napkin but no pictures yet. I'll add them to my blog and let you all know as soon as they're up

Have any of you had disappearing ink not disappear? On a few of my items it doesn't seem to be going away. Any tips?

I'm adding pictures to my blog of the napkins I've put up on my Etsy. I forgot to take pictures of the napkins I'd done for the wedding gift before I came to the library but I'll try to get them done and up next week.
