Those Little Touches

Every bathroom needs those little touches
that make it feel extra special :o)

In my case, it's a crocheted dishcloth
used as a doily
under this beautiful blue pitcher
I found at my favourite Thrift shop!

Blessings,

Love the varigated yarn of the crocheted dish cloth/doily! I'll bet it's one you made. So pretty! I have doilies all over my house...here, there & everywhere.
Have a happy weekend, Dallas!

Hi, I love the Susan Rios paintings you use on your blog. I wonder if her home looks like her paintings? Your blog style is perfect for your writing and i feel is very much like your true personality. I truly enjoy stopping by for a visit. Dee :)

Hello I just found your blog, and I love it. I love crochet. I taught myself. I still have problems with reading patterns, but I guess I will figure it out with more practice! :o)

Have a blessed day.

Susan,

Those colours remind me of rainbows and yes, it's one I made :o)

I love doilies too ~ such a charming, old-world touch anywhere!

Michele & Deby,

Kindred spirits think alike :o) I agree that handmade things give a touch of *love* wherever they are!

Dee,

I just LOVE Susan Rios' paitings and it would be interesting to see if her home reflected her painting style.

As I read your kind words, I was so encouraged by them ~ thanks so much :o)

Lady Farmer,

I LOVE the colour blue and that's NOT an understatement!!!

TheMama,

Welcome and thanks for letting me know you enjoy my blog ~ words like that are always encouraging!

I, too, have difficulty sometimes reading patterns but with practice, it does get better.

I was given one recently that is straightforward all the way through and then says *around FRONT of POST* ... I have NO idea what to do with it so set it aside until I can get some help!

Blessings to all of you this lovely weekend,
Dallas

Sharon,

I couldn't agree more ~ what a blessing and a privilege to be a homemaker and to add those special touches wherever we want!

I find that I meditate on this more as time goes on and I see very FEW in this role anywhere around me ~ what's it like in your area?

Cathy,

Thanks so much :o)

Blessings to both of you,
Dallas

Hi Dallas ~

I think it's probably quite similar here as it is in your area. But I am thankful to find inspiration and encouragement from such lovely blog friends who are delighting in their homemaking!

Thanks for all you share!

Blessings to you this week!
