Craftiness for Christmas





Tim had to work a 24 hour shift at the fire dept. starting at 6 a.m this morning, so I promised myself that I would spend the day being crafty, working on some Christmas gifts. I managed to finish off the dishcloth that I started the othe day (pic. 1), crochet another dishcloth in a different design (pic. 2), and make these Patchwork Kitchen Towels. I think everything turned out great. The difficult part will be actually giving away items that I like so much and want to keep for myself!

I was actually thinking of making a binder with all of my printed out tutorials in it! I keep seeing all of these things that I want to try! The towels actually went fairly smoothly... The most time consuming part was cutting the fabric, but that still wasn't bad.

ooh super cute! i love the pattern on that dishcloth- and the towels are really pretty-
better wrap em up quick, so you forget how much you like them-

I love the dish cloths, and I know what you mean, I always struggle with giving away things I've made :)

It is so exciting for me to see some comments from visitors that I don't know!

Love the dishcloths. I'll have to post the ones I made. I also crocheted my sister a purse for Christmas. I'll post it soon. It's super cute and I have a few people asking me to make one for them.
