Vintage Towel Ideas?

Here are two great towels I rescued from the paint cleanup pile at my parents' house today. I don't have any ideas yet for how to use them, but I know I want to! I'm open to suggestions, so please help!

Sew a Luggage Tag!

I have a lot of family members who fly all the time, especially my brother. I love making gifts but have trouble thinking of ideas for men. So I thought I could make him a luggage tag. Please bear in mind, I want to finish it with some clear vinyl sewn as a pocket where he could slip a business card to identify his bag. (I just didn't have any...and the nearest craft store is about 30 minutes away from where we're living right now...so I'll start a list!!)

I used corduroy fabric, so I didn't use any interfacing. I really don't like interfacing. I never seem to have it when I need it. I don't ever know what weight to buy. So I thought corduroy would have enough body (especially after I add the vinyl). I cut two pieces 3 1/2" x 5" and one piece 2" x 12".I sewed the 2"x12" piece into a tube and turned it. Then I sewed the rectangular pieces together (right sides together) and left a hole for turning.
I pressed the pieces, then sewed the tube into the hole left by turning on the rectangle. I top stitched around the whole thing to secure the tube.
If you use corduroy or another type of fabric that stretches, be careful not to sew the long edges against the grain. Otherwise, it will look like this:

Spaghetti Squash

We like to eat healthy foods that are in season. Fall is a great time of year for Spaghetti Squash. For a few years, I've been making this recipe. FYI, Spaghetti squashes are really hard to cut in half if they are raw. So start by pricking the squash a few times with a fork and then putting it in the microwave for about 8 minutes.

Then let it sit for another 5 minutes. Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds (they're sort of like pumpkin seeds) and then start shredding it with two forks, as shown below. Don't be afraid to shred it to the skin.
Then put the spaghetti-like strands into a baking dish. I add salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and spaghetti sauce. Then I bake it at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly. Yum.

I never thought I'd like squash!

Life Goal: Learn to Reupholster.

I really want to be able to reupholster furniture.
First I have to find some furniture I don't mind possibly ruining. Then I have to find some cheapo fabric I don't mind ruining, too!
here is some info

this woman just attacked the chair.

I wouldn't choose this fabric...but still, looks good to me.

more info. my parents have two chairs just like these that were my grandmother's. the fabric is horrid. i could start with them!! just give me a few weeks.

Removing Crayon from Vinyl Floors

My little boy has discovered the wonders of crayons. He even wrote all over the vinyl kitchen floor at my parents' house with his favorites.

Luckily, I was able to get it off using silver polish.

Crayola has a whole portion of their website devoted to removal of their products. In case you're wondering, they claim WD-40 removes crayon from brick, concrete, carpet, chalkboards, cloth car interiors, painted walls, plastic, and tile.

(Does Crayola own the company that makes WD-40??)
