clothesline dish towel



I thought this was the sweetest thing when I saw it, but far too expensive for something so easy to make. I used fabric glue for a lot of the stitching (I was in a rush) but a running stitch instead would look really sweet (and would be even sturdier). Click on tutorial to save/enlarge.

  5. How difficult would it be to make this into a cute little apron? I would like to commission you to make one for me, since I'm a crap artist and you know it. I love it! It's adorable! And you just made me want to wear an apron!

  11. I found this blog from a link on dollarstorecrafts.com, and I've looked through every post over the last couple of hours. This is truly a beautiful blog--both by the simplicity of the projects & instructions, and by just how unique & appealing each project is.
    It is so sad to see that you have been unable to keep this treasure going. I do understand that life happens, so I'm hoping it all has largely been for the good.
