Kitchen Decorations

Hello! I can't believe I'm already posting again! I've finished a few things since my last post, some of the things I already had completed last week but just now got around to taking pictures and uploading them onto my computer.

           Anyway...in my last post I mentioned that I was working on a table runner, and I finished it! Yay! I could not find a pattern that I liked, so I did a basic ripple, and I like the way it looks. I used a cotton dishcloth yarn... I LOVE working with cotton....whether it be thread, yarn, or fabric...I love cotton, it's so soft! Back in November we visited family in CT, while up there we went to A.C. Moore, (a craft store), and I bought a whole pound of cotton for $4.00, which was a huge blessing! I used that yarn to make this table runner, and still had a lot left!
            

It was difficult to get a good picture, it's cloudy today

                After I finished the table runner I made a dish towel and matching dishcloth with the leftover yarn, and....I STILL have some yarn leftover! Praise the Lord, this yarn is going SO far!

For my birthday I got a crochet book to make kitchen stuff,
these both are patterns out of it.

            For Christmas I had gotten two skeins of cotton dishcloth yarn, so I made four dishcloths. I decided I wanted to practice knitting a little more, so I knitted two, and crocheted the other two. I also made a little scrubby, but don't have a picture of it. They were all a lot of fun!

I LOVE the colors! But I tend to be partial to anything green!



Lastly, a few years ago my grandmother had given me a cross-stitch kit to make a "Messages" board, and on Saturday I decided I was in the mood to cross-stitch, so I started it! I finished stitching and putting it together on Sunday....it was fun to make and it felt really nice to cross-stitch again!

I love this, I think it's really cute!

Here is a closer picture of the stitching

I absolutely love working on things, it is one of the things I never get sick of doing! I praise the Lord that I have the time and ability to work with my hands, and enjoy doing it! Hope everyone has a great day!
