20 minutes well spent

I have been running around like a chicken all day.  I need to catch up from last week.  No posts from me because I had my first and I hope last case of vertigo.  Have you ever had it?  If it's chronic for you, you have my sympathies and my prayers.  It's pretty debilitatitng.  I couldn't move without needing to throwup.  Blech. 

So anyways I really just wanted to spend 20 minutes doing something creative.  This is what I came up with.


What a difference 20 minutes can make, Huh?  It was so easy.  I bought 3 bath sheets for each chaise lounge from walmart.  They were 3or 4 dollars each.  I took one to my local embroiderer and had them do the logo.  It was 15 dollars for each monogram.  Mine are a little too large, so if you went smaller it would be cheaper.  Then I just sewed the towels together like a big pillow case.  I left the top of the 3rd unattached and put velcro on it once I had it on the cushion.  I also attached a few pieces of white material to tie on the lounge chair.  The whole thing took 20 minutes, because I already had the embroidery done.
