Ranunculus & crochet dish cloths
I adore flowers. There is just something special about a bunch of flowers in a pretty jug that tugs at my happy heart strings. I like most flowers, but I am quite fussy when it comes to what flowers I like on my table!
I love a loose, carefree bunch that looks like it was picked from a wild meadow.
Then I love roses. But not red roses, either peach pink or yellow.
I also adore Daisy's, they last really long too. I get mine to go for about 3 weeks. Good value for money.
I don't always have fresh flowers, maybe about twice a month.(lasting on average for about 2 weeks at a time).
My latest love in fresh flowers are Ranunculus. They are utterly gorgeous. For only R29 a bunch-also affordable. They last about 10 days. I love the way they change from small, tight buds to opening out into layers upon layers, like the tulle skirt of a ballerina.
I bought these yellow/orange ones a while ago, they lasted 12 days.
Last week I got these pink ones...they are still going strong after 5 days. My other latest ♥ is crocheted dish cloths. I made some for the kitchen and I have got to say, they are the best thing EVER! I made mine out of Bambino yarn which is cotton and bamboo and is made here in South Africa. They are so soft and absorbent and clean like a dream! I don't think I will ever go back to the normal dish cloth! Of course, they would make great face cloths too. I have already washed them in the washing machine too, there is no color running or fading at all. I am thinking of making some to sell in my Etsy store and was wondering if you could give some feedback. It would be so much appreciated!
