gesundheit!
Bah. Summertime colds are the worst aren't they? When I made these tissue holders last weekend, I had no idea that I would have to be tucking one into my own purse. (And thank you, Erin for the link to this wonderfully-easy tutorial!)
I made some silly little labels for them as well, printed out on muslin and set with a hot iron:
I have the hardest time putting labels on things that I make. It always feels so incredibly vain when I do it, but when I receive a handmade gift from someone, I think it makes that gift all the more special. The crafter's/artist's signature, but in fabric.
My children came back from their beach trip Saturday afternoon happy and exhausted and with sore throats, so of course, I was next. I'm propped up in my bed right now with a cup of echinacea tea, zinc lozenges, and a package of tissues in a pretty fabric holder. That latter one is making me smile. Because, really, the tea is enough to make me gag. Bong-water, as my dear friend Alison refers to it. How she knows what that tastes like--I really don't want to know!
