Retro Steamed Coffee Towel

I hope everyone is having a good week.  Life can be hectic, and well, plain hard.  There are many joys in my life that I remind myself of, then give my daughter a hug and dive into a little small something creative.  This one I did in an hour.  It's like I just had to do this, so all would be right in the world. Kinda like cooking...or especially baking!  I'm not that good at it, but it totally changes my mood.  I think I'll make another loaf of bread....

Anyway...on to the towel.

 I used freezer paper and drew my stencil. I cut it out carefully with an exacto knife. I ironed it on in pieces.

 I painted it in Red and waited 30 minutes to peel it off.  I then waited a few hours and ironed it with a cloth over top.

 I really like how it turned out.  Retro...and I love coffee!

So many possibilities! What would you want stenciled on your towel?

Coffee Bean Tea Light holder

I recently ventured into Hobby Lobby after a 2 year hiatus.  I found this glass for $1.99 on sale half off.
I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it at the time.

I like Coffee beans for many things.  We have a Pod Coffee Machine Now (a Keurig) so we don't have much use for whole beans.  I don't even own a grinder.  I put these into with some vanilla tealights I had.  Looks pretty nice, and not flammable.  I bet the rocks you can find at craft stores would be great too.
