I think it doesn't matter what color it is, if a man has it in a garage, he'll get it dirty. This way, he will know when to wash it.LOL I think they look great and a great idea from you.

I finally gave in and went to the Dr yesterday.8 days of severe headaches.Thinks my sinuses are blocked and has turned into infection,cause over weekend started with fever.Got meds and today woke up with regular headache, something I could stand,LOL but hope to keep improving,I go back to work Thursday.I worked 3 and half days last week sick,we were off Monday so that was good for me,I took off today and tomorrow,so I have had to miss 3 and half days total, because of this.Thanks for asking, but I hope I will kick it now.

Looks like good size bags. Like the red lettering. I know my hubby prefers absorbent rags. My Club house is off limits. lol.

Carolyn - great idea!! And, yes, you should use it as wrapping paper!! I have written this before - for Christmas, well before I was into embroidery - I would buy Christmas material on sale and make Christmas Wrapping bags. I have made every size you can thing of - each with a ribbon in casing in the top. We have a large family and wrapping at Christmas was becoming too hard to handle - so, now I take a gift and loosely wrap it in tissue paper around it and stick it in a fabric Christmas bag. I also paper wrap a few gifts for everyone - but, the majority of our gifts under our tree are wrapped in fabric bags. The kids love it - cause they use the bags too and they know how much easier it is and the fabric is always pretty and festive plus we use the bags year after year. Hope this makes sense!!! Well done!! The guys will love them! Hugs, Laura*
