Ahhhhhh....another good site!!! Even better, she has my favourite dog - a sausage dog (or weiner dog as the Americans call it).

I sense another morning will be lost to reading damn good blogs......

I meant to leave a message saying a big thanks to all who posted the lovely links here but I'd spent too much time looking at them but wanted to post that link before I went to bed.

I really enjoyed looking at all the lovely things, thanks again all.

Wow those dish cloths!

Does anyone here knit their own and are they any good? I cant knit but I can crochet, wonder if they would be as good?

I may get my mum to knit me some if they are good.

Have a look here at Dishcloth Boutique

Both crochet and knitting patterns for dishcloths here.

Those blogs have just cost me money lol, well I did get a bargain. This post made me pop in to Matalan today and buy some of these mugs which are now half price and only £1 each! Have been sick of my plain blue Ikea mugs that dont ever seem to break, unlike my cornishware and Emma Bridgwater ones!

I know you can buy them from the shop owned by the lady that writes Homespun Living, the link is on her blog.

Thanks peeps.

I just wondered if they were any good? I have a feeling that they will go all stretchy and horrid as they are made from wool.

I'm trying to imagine how they will cope with scrubbing worktops.. I may find an old jumper to experiment with lol!

I don't have any dishcloth info BUT I was in TK Maxx today and was amazed by all the shabby chic stuff they had. I was a good girl and didn't buy any (mainly cos I realised our house just doesn't have that look to it if you know what I mean!) but still- loads of old style storage tins, Cath Kidston style cushions + boxes, even a mini table- all very homespun living!
