One of My Favorite Things

 

This is not a paid advertisement - it's just a review of one of my favorite things.
This is one of those things that I'm grateful for, because it makes life a bit easier in simple ways.

 

 

One of my favorite things is ...

 

padded hangers

 

 

 

They help the clothes hang nicer, keep the clothing on the hanger easier, and don't stretch the shoulders leaving those little stretch bumps. 

 

 

They also hold the front of the clothing away from the back of it (a little bit) helping the air circulate while drying the clothing.  I do dry several things on these hangers so they don't shrink in the dryer.

 

This is my favorite because it is overstuffed and tight.

I like the linen fabric that covers it too.

 

 I made the red one in the first photo ..., over 20 years ago.  It was pretty easy, but I should have stuffed it tighter. 

 

 

Wooden Clasp Hangers as Wall Decor

I posted this photo in an earlier post about tassels and party decor, and noticed the hangers too - thought it was a novel idea - a clever way to display things - from Oh Joy!.

When I saw the idea I thought of using those hangers to hold fabric.  Stacking fabric is what I do now, and it's sometimes hard to quickly get to the middle pieces and still keep things stacked nicely. Well, the thought left my mind because I don't have room to hang all of the fabric I have.  I still think it's a great idea though!





A couple days later I find this in my Reader from  It's Overflowing and I thought someone had read my mind.  Okay, I know that just because I have a thought doesn't mean I was the first to think it ... or the only one to think it ... rather, I do believe that any thought I have has been "thunk" before.





Oh well!  I still like it!  It adds some great color to the room.
