whose job?

I finally had a chance to hang the Irish Linen towel that I bought at this fair. I thought the story was funny and I could picture it hanging in my house. I was initially looking to frame it, but didn’t want to spend a fortune. I’ve been looking for frames at op-shops, but unsuccessfully.

Then one night I couldn’t sleep and kept thinking about how I could hang it. The idea came and I couldn’t wait for the morning to come! Basically, I bought a dowel ($3.25) and cut 2 pieces to the size of the towel.

I nailed two small nails into the sides of one of the dowel pieces, for the string. I then sewed two strips of calico to the top and bottom of the towel as sort of slings for the dowel pieces. Finally, I tied the string between and two nails and hung the towel on the wall.

I’m quite happy with the result. I do, however, need to take it off now and give it a good wash and iron. :) (Just looking at the photos all together and realising how different light angles to the camera make the same wall look like its painted in 3 different colours!)
