An Anniversary Gift

Our anniversary was last month and I wanted to make Mr. Rat a personal token to go with his other gifts.  I thought of making him a handkerchief embroidered with his initials, since he often borrows mine.  After consultation about the style and color, he chose a cursive script in cobalt blue.  It took me only one Sunday afternoon to embroider his initials after I had drawn them carefully with pen on the white cotton scrap I had left over from one of my shirt sewing projects, and only another afternoon after that to hand-stitch a rolled-hem around the edges.  He was very pleased with his present.
