Washcloths in the Fall

Hi there friends...

I really don't think things will slow down this year for us ...
We are starting to feel a little more settled. Still lots to do in the house and the garage ... Oh the garage, still lots to do there also. But we are now starting to feel that this is our house.
This last weekend I spent all Saturday cleaning and cleaning and more cleaning. I was exhausted, but it felt really good to know that I only have about 5 more boxes to go and we will be done "unboxing" ... Unpacking the house.
While I have not had much time to knit or crochet I have been working on a few "Christmas" projects ... Trying to get a little ahead so I don't feel too stressed when the holidays get here. I really want to enjoy and spend time with my family instead of working so much in the holidays...

I'm also getting ready to do a coffee tasting party in November. My husband and I we have a small business roasting fresh coffee from all over the world. We roast it right here in our house in Happy Valley, OR. We specialize on coffees from Brazil and South America and we really enjoy making the different blends and right now most of our clients are our friends. But I'm hoping to expand it a little this next year as my son is interested in working on it with us...
So my next post I will show you our coffee label and will give you a little tour of our website and if you feel like ordering a delicious pound of coffee you can do it right there. We deliver ( if you are here in town) and we can also ship it if you want to try it.
We are changing our label and I'm waiting for the new ones and that is why I am waiting till next week to show it to you... Our website is www.cafezinhoroasting.com if you want to check it out.

I also want to show you what I have worked on a little bit this weekend....
I have been making washcloths and hope to have enough this year for Christmas gifts.
I also had so much fun picking up some pretty fall leafs and when I put them in my kitchen counter look how pretty they look with the beautiful shadows in the wall.

Hope you are all having fun wherever you are ... Even if it has turned grey and dark, enjoy the cozy days the cold and rain give to us ... Time to slow down a little and enjoy the inside, the fire, the hot teas and cocoa ... And while doing that ... Enjoy a little bit of Crochetting, knitting or whichever craft makes you happy.

Thank you so very much for all your kind and sweat comments on my last post about the baby boots.

You make my day ... You make me smile ... You make me feel special.

Have a wonderful week.

Making Washcloths

Hi there Dear Friends ...

It has been hard for me to find time to get here to visit with you, even though I think I have already said it is one of my favorite times of the day...

I have again been very busy at work. Time is just flying by and when I see it is 10:00 in the evening. I haven't even had very much time to knit or crochet... But when I do I have been crazily making washcloths...

Washcloths for a bridal shower... (look at the pictures and see how cute they ended up being), washcloths for my kitchen... washcloths for my powder room... washcloths for my bathroom...

How fun... they are quick, rewarding and when I want to give them as a gift (as with the ones I just made for the shower, I just add a couple little dish scrubbies and put a cute soap with it and it makes a perfect little addition to a gift). I made them with 100% cotton and size 5.00 mm H crochet hook.

Well I have to run again... gotta cook dinner and keep going with laundry otherwise there wont be any clean clothes for next work week ... ha ha :)

Fun to be here and touch basis with you. I hope you have a fantastic week and THANK YOU for stopping by to "see" me ... I love your comments :)
