Just because it’s Shabby,

Doesn’t mean it’s automatically “Chic”.

Dear Designer,

You know…

I do applaud you.

First of all, I do not, and I will state this categorically, hate ANY of the colours you’ve used, and it’s not beyond the bounds of “Working”, so snaps for that. 

Next, you’ve tried to be environmentally, conscious and aware and friendly  in the whole recycling sweater/yarn idea.  Shame you’ve maybe erred into some dangerous waters there.

Wool embroidery is something I do like , can’t do, but admire in those who can and right about now is where I stop with the love.

Having your guinea pig chew out squares of woolen stitchwork, and then asking him to crochet a border round each (those little 4 toed front paws… Squeeee! – but no good at crochet) so that you can hook together a whole bunch of motifs, in a charmless layout, bound by an edging that wouldn’t be eaten by a cat were it on a blanket…

becomes truly cringeworthy.

This looks like a thrift shop wanna-be version of a Russian thread motifmasterpiece.

Scuse me while I just sit here and say Wow for a while.

wow….       wow…… wheeeee ….. Wow.

Anthropologie’s (Too Cute to Be Just) Dishtowels

Anthropologie Dishtowels

Cotton dishtowels, 28" long by 21" wide, from Anthropologie.

Dacia Ray shares a great idea for making the most of Anthropologie’s dishtowels, which might be too precious to use for their intended purpose. Try repurposing the dishtowels to use as a sewing machine cover like the one shown at Dacia Ray, or maybe as a pillow or for decorating a child’s room. Many of the dishtowels have cute appliques or embroidery so they would be perfect for kids.
