Thanks you all so much for the wonderful response and comments on my “Let Go & Let God” post. I loved hearing the stories about how so many of you are in the same boat I was a year ago with a deep desire for some kind of change and nothing is happening. I do know that waiting on the Lord is the hard part of any wish. One thing I do believe in deeply is the phrase – “God Can’t Steer A Parked Car”. I think we have to have our eyes, ears and hearts open to what He is putting in front of us and when he opens a door be willing to walk through it. My hunt started out for a move-in ready house in a really nice neighborhood with a big yard and pool. The door He opened was for a Builder Basic Fixer-Upper in a nice neighborhood with a big yard and no pool but at an affordable price that would give me enough money to remodel a few things and to build a pool. In the end I got the perfect place for us. So be flexible and be willing to see what He has in mind. God Bless.
Now onto what is currently happening – – —
We have had so much fun sharing our pool with friends and family, however I really don’t want wet bathing suits and towels all over the house. Even for just Jim and I, I don’t like it. So I wanted to come up with a solution for dealing with them.
I needed to find a spot by the pool so you could grab a towel when you get out and then have a place to come back out and hang it up to dry with your suit when you change clothes. The patio post seemed like the perfect spot. I found some really cute hooks at Hobby Lobby and Jim just screwed them to the post. Plenty of room to hang a lot of towels and suits. Each hook has 4 arms so room for 12 articles without doubling up..
I decided I needed some kind of loop on the towels since we get a little bit of wind here and I didn’t want them to blow off the hooks. So I looked in my ribbon stash for some kind of cloth ribbon. I only found leopard so that is what I am going with.
I just cut a piece and sewed it to the side of the towel.
Just a simple loop. Now I should have had a different color for these colorful towels, however at least you won’t have to look for the loop. I stand out so you can’t miss it.
The leopard looks a lot better with our camel colored towels – –
but like I said. You don’t have to hunt for the tab on the colored ones either.
This is working beautifully. I haven’t had one single wet towel on the floor or furniture. Everyone just brings them out and hangs them up.
I am loving this, it works like a charm.
So what is your solution for taking care of all those wet towels and suits?
