2 Years Already?
I can't believe how time flies, but it does. On Tuesday, Mr. D and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary. In honor of this lovely occasion, I googled wedding anniversary presents and found out that the traditional gift for the 2nd anniversary is cotton. Since he's always asking me to make him something I decided to make him a cotton t-shirt. Now before I could start shopping for a pattern, my buddy Karen stepped in and put me on to the Burda Style t-shirt for men. Once I printed out the 22 pages and taped them together(man was that a lot of work), it was smooth sailing. The fabric was from Walmart. The second part of his present was an embroidered hand towel for when he goes to the gym. Yes my friends, I recently purchased a used embroidery machine for a whopping $80. Don't you just love it? I'm still learning how to use it, but I was able to do this much so far. He liked it.

Happy 2nd anniversary!
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary. The gifts look nice, I like the towel.
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary. I'm so jealous about the embroidery machine I want one but don't want to pay hundreds of dollars, I guess I better start stalking them on Craig's list, the towel looks great.
"He liked it."
He'd better. :) That's some nice work - and the embroidery machine looks like it's coming along well.
Happy anniversary! The towel was a nice idea.
Happy anniversary! Great that you made something out of cotton for him. On our second wedding anniversary I did something similar: I made him handkerchiefs with his initials embroidered on them. I love to give those kinds of presents!
Happy Anniversary!
$80 embroidery machine! Fantastic!
Nice job on that t-shirt. I thought it was store bought before I read your post all the way through!
Happy anniversary! You made him a great gift!
Happy Anniversary! Great gifts and a wonderful score on the embroidery machine!
Happy 2nd Anniversary! And of course he liked it, it was made especially for him by his beloved!
Happy 2nd anniversary to you and Mr D. I love your gifts - making something is so very special and both the shirt and the towel are lovely.
Happy Anniversary! The T-shirt came out great and totally love the embroidered towel.
