Cute washcloths

About a month before we moved to our house I decided to make some cute washcloths for our kitchen and powder room.
I made actually about 10 of them and decided I like them so much I'm going to make more for my bathroom and the kids bathroom next.

I have always liked making washcloths ... they are so cute and rewarding... A fast crochet or knit project and they also make great gifts. I have made several for friends and weddings ( and I have posted about it before).

This time I'm going to show you the ones I have made for my house and with it you will have a little idea of some of the tiny little decorating I have started in our house.

I was also visiting Gillian at her blog "Tales from a Happy House" ( I'm sorry I'm posting from my ipad and cannot link to her blog but go visit her adorable, inspirational blog if you have not yet). I was so, so inspired by the washcloths she made for Christmas gifts last year and I started one this morning ( the cream color one) but I was so eager to show you I didn't finish the edging yet. She edged hers in a different color and I loved it...I think I feel an inspiration to start my Christmas gifts ??? Noticed the blue one I'm starting tonight ??? The beautiful cotton was giving to me by my sweet friend Betsy from "The simple life of a Queen" ( go check her blog out if you haven't yet ... She makes amazing projects). The beautiful green washcloths that looks like a leaf you see next to the broccoli bowl were a gift to me from our builder, who has also become a great friend ... I just love them !

We are having really hot temperatures this week here in the NW and I have been making lots of salads and I find that I really, really enjoy cooking on my new kitchen ... Everything tastes better although I only have 1/2 of our kitchen gadgets unpacked ... Beautiful asparagus, great broccoli salad, nice steak, yummy vegetables for fajitas and a nice fish, rice and broccoli is what our menu consisted of this past week ... We are getting there.

Hope you are having a tremendous weekend and that summer is just a collection of happy moments and fun times for you.

Thanks for stopping by and for all your kind comments they make my day...

I love my backyard...

Yes, it is starting to look a bit like summer in our backyard...

I love my house and I love our backyard even more.

It is peaceful, serene and so very green. A beautiful sight of nature...

It inspires me... all the trees, flowers and vegetables give me a peaceful feeling that is hard to describe...

and I owe it all to my husband and all the hard work he puts in place to make this little piece of heaven all our own.

I love when we wake up in the weekends and it is sunny... I can seat outside to have my breakfast and just enjoy all this beauty God have created...

Look at this flowers and all this vegetables growing as the sun hits them... 

I feel so lucky, so privileged and thankful for all that we have.

Aren't these flowers just gorgeous ??? I had never noticed how perfectly well purple and red goes together ... Nature is just so perfect!

My husband and my son built this great steps with reclaimed wood and he puts all the herbs and a few vegetables in there...it looks so great and the herbs are doing wonderful...they love their new home :)

More Flowers... more colors... more inspiration...

And here is where we sit on those nice, warm summer days and enjoy our coffee and each others company and where I do my knitting and crocheting...

Oh...how I love our backyard :)

Thanks for stopping by to see my backyard.

Hope to see you soon again. Tchau :) (oh yeah...this means ciao in Portuguese)  

PS: I have been working on this "scarf" for a month and now that I thought I was almost done my daughter told me she thinks it's too wide... which I agree...

So, now I'm thinking about trying to make it into a table runner...

Granny squares in the edge???

Just a simple edge with double crochet???

Or Japanese flowers in the edge???

What do you think???


Thanks for stopping by...I would love if you leave a comment :)
