Lucky... { A Four-Leaf Clover Towel for a Friend }


Have you ever considered how lucky you really are? 

I do, but not nearly as often as I should.  Last night the hubs and I went out for a little post-Valentine's dinner.  It was so good to get away for a bit.  After we enjoyed our quiet meal {hallelujah!}, we grabbed a couple of fortune cookies on the way out. 

 Here is what mine read....


Over the last year or two... I have needed good friends... and God delivered them in abundance! 

As I sat down today to make a birthday gift for one of those sweet friends,  I knew exactly what I would sew for her. She loves to cook and she also is SO good about decorating for holidays, so a festive kitchen towel was in order!  The four leaf clover represents St. Patrick's Day, but more than that it symbolizes luck.  I wanted her to know how lucky I am and how blessed I am to have her in my life! 

I am one lucky lady and blessed beyond measure!

  11. I love your towel and I know your friend will love it too. I'm going to copy you and make something similar for my daughter. I just had dinner at her house and she has her St. Paddy's decorations out and she just loves to decorate for the holidays so I know she'll appreciate a bit more o' the green.

  25. Your projects are always so adorable. This is a great idea. I have one friend in particular that not only am I lucky to have, but St. Patty's is actually her favorite holiday (which I find weird, but that's why I love her, for being unique)! Thanks for sharing, and consider me inspired! ;)
