    These are fabulous - absolutely!
    But surely they must be framed not used to dry dishes.

    LOVE the towels. They are beautiful.

    I have a crockpot recipe that won't make your kids run away. It is delicious. :) (if your family isn't a vegetarian family, of course)

    5 lbs pot roast (fat removed)
    1 jar pepperoncini (they are yellow)
    1 bottle of beer (cheers)
    2 beef bullion cubes (or 2 tsp granules)
    oregano
    1 cup water
    salt and pepper

    hard rolls and provolone cheese

    cook in crockpot all day long. shred meat (save the juice) then put the shredded meat back in for about an hour. serve on rolls with cheese. YUMMY!

    It will renew the family's faith in crock pots... that is if you aren't a vegetarian family. :)

    I'm liking those!!

    They would be purely decorative in our house because we have decided that as drying dishes is the only chore that can actually do itself, we need have no involvement!!

    I'd definitely hang them on my rail though.

    Hi Tif
    Thanks a million for your messages..
    It sounds like a good day's work to me..
    My dishes would be proud to be dried by one of your tea towels! Just lovely!
    Is that a CraftKit owl in the photo??
    It looks a bit like one and my ma made me a clothkit cat in the 1960's that looks like the same design..

    Beautiful! These are very cool/unique designs. And although they're definitely frame worthy, they would be so fun for drying dishes with!

    I love the rose cover on your ironing board.

    I cannot believe all the super cute stuff you are cranking out around here! (well, I can, but you know...)
    You are major inspiration to me!! I have a super soft spot for lamps. The more the merrier I say and the quirkier the better :)
