Here is the dishcloth I knitted.The cotton yarn has lovely colours and I really like the pattern. I have almost finished another dishcloth in the same pattern. It's very easy to do in front of the tv, and that's great because I love to keep my hands busy while I'm watching tv.


I just love these kind of trays and I always have some of them filled with old teapots, cups , plates and other things. And I like to change them every now and then.





Here is another book I found recently, a lovely x stitch book filled with hearts!


And it's still a few more days untill my birthday but I'm allready getting cards. So lovely!
The card on the right is very beautiful, the person that have send it to me x stitched the lovely cat.Great huh!

I really like your knitted dishcloth, such pretty colours and pattern. An dwhat a great idea to have something easy to do while watching the TV. I like to chrocet granny squares while I watch. Your tray with all the lovely china looks very pretty indeed. I can well understand why you like such trays. And last, but not least, Happy Birthday to you!

Firstly, Happy Birthday for the big day - in September???
I like collecting cups and saucers too - I have lots of beautiful old ones that I'm too scared to use in case I break them. I bring them out and have special tea parties - lots of fun really. I even managed to find some cute ones for the kids and we head into the backyard under the shade of the gum tree and drink tea and eat cake!
Love the dishcloths - I'm going to start knitting them too!

Hi Monique!
A while ago isn`t it? Yes, the time flies as they say..i can`t believe that you found these lovely books with lovely quilting, knitting and crochet patterns in it for only 20 euro cents each. That`s amazing!! I really love what you are knitting on now, the orange top. Oh no, you started knitting dishclothes instead didn`t you? :) I love the latest dish dishcloth that you made, the pattern looks lovely. And your butler tray with china, so pretty!!
I am so in love with china, and specially teacups with rose-pattern on it :) Yes, this weekend i find a couple of those, and in a few days i will show you on my site. When do you celebrate your birthday? So i could congratulate you i mean..I wish you a very good Wednesday, love from Aina (",)
