Hate Those Wet Bathing Suits & Towels – I Have The Solution

Thanks you all so much for the wonderful response and comments on my “Let Go & Let God” post.  I loved hearing the stories about how so many of you are in the same boat I was a year ago with a deep desire for some kind of change and nothing is happening.  I do know that waiting on the Lord is the hard part of any wish.  One thing I do believe in deeply is the phrase – “God Can’t Steer A Parked Car”.  I think we have to have our eyes, ears and hearts open to what He is putting in front of us and when he opens a door be willing to walk through it.  My hunt started out for a move-in ready house in a really nice neighborhood with a big yard and pool.  The door He opened was for a Builder Basic Fixer-Upper in a nice neighborhood with a big yard and no pool but at an affordable price that would give me enough money to remodel a few things and to build a pool.  In the end I got the perfect place for us.  So be flexible and be willing to see what He has in mind.  God Bless.

Now onto what is currently happening – – —

We have had so much fun sharing our pool with friends and family, however I really don’t want wet bathing suits and towels all over the house.  Even for just Jim and I, I don’t like it.  So I wanted to come up with a solution for dealing with them.

I needed to find a spot by the pool so you could grab a towel when you get out and then have a place to come back out and hang it up to dry with your suit when you change clothes.  The patio post seemed like the perfect spot.   I found some really cute hooks at Hobby Lobby and Jim just screwed them to the post.  Plenty of room to hang a lot of towels and suits.  Each hook has 4 arms so room for 12 articles without doubling up..

 I decided I needed some kind of loop on the towels since we get a little bit of wind here and I didn’t want them to blow off the hooks.  So I looked in my ribbon stash for some kind of cloth ribbon.  I only found leopard so that is what I am going with.

I just cut a piece and sewed it to the side of the towel.

Just a simple loop.  Now I should have had a different color for these colorful towels, however at least you won’t have to look for the loop.  I stand out so you can’t miss it.

The leopard looks a lot better with our camel colored towels – –

but like I said.  You don’t have to hunt for the tab on the colored ones either.

 This is working beautifully.  I haven’t had one single wet towel on the floor or furniture.  Everyone just brings them out and hangs them up.

I am loving this, it works like a charm.

 So what is your solution for taking care of all those wet towels and suits?
