The last few days have been a busy time in the laundry after a trip to my family in Donegal this weekend.
oh!!! & I can't resist posting another one John's photos of the fantastically named 'Poisioned Glen'
Isn't that beautiful?
Back to the Wash-Day Blues....I seem to have spent a lot of time washing, drying, ironing folding and putting away since I've come home.
I even sorted through the odd-sock pile yesterday... Where oh! WHERE do they all come from ?!
Somehow I always imagine that all the mates to my ever increasing collection of odd socks are off somewhere sunny having waaayyyy more fun than the poor socks that are left behind !
Does anyone out there have a crafty idea to use up a waist high pile of odd socks?
Anyway I've been dying to call a post 'Wash-day Blues' just for an excuse to share with you some cotton facecloths I made.....Taa Daa!!
Not quite as impressive as the Poisioned Glen I grant you, but much handier for washing your face with !
Two simple crochet squares made from two 'odd' balls of cotton I picked up in France last summer.
I followed the pattern from 'Cute and easy crochet' by Niki Trench
Out of my yarn stash & into the batroom....
A very quick project I made two in one night !
I'm off now to soak one of these puppies in cool water
(or maybe some ice-cold Sauvingon Blanc)
& drape it over my tired eyes after a long day in front of the computer!
Thanks for visiting !
