My husband and I plan to install a bathroom on the first floor of our 1915 home. The rooms are small, so rather than steal space from the dinning or living room, we plan to put thr bathroom in the closet under the stairs, which will require some tight space planning.
This in mind we need to have a very small sink, small sinks are very expensive, and we don't have alot of money.... So I have just decided to make my own vesel sink! When I get around to doing this I will deffinately be posting it! :)

Quilting and future projects
ok, so i haven't posted recently because I was working on Christmas presents, and then went onto working on a queen size quilt (as my second ever quilting project). I have nearly completed the quilt now and have decided I love quilting!
To indulge this new found passion I am thinking up future projects. When I finish the quilt I am going to make matching pillow sham. I will probably pick something off the following list after that.
quilted coasters
a denim quilt
a log cabin quilt
a gender neutral baby quilt
I plan to do at least one tutorial along the way.
Please leave me a comment if you have any more project ideas for me. I love having something to keep me busy!

crochet washcloth
I found this pattern online a while ago, but had trouble trying it out because there were a few mistakes in the pattern. So I figured I would rewrite and post it on here.
I used cotton yarn for this because I like how it absorbs water and it seems to hold up better to all of the scrubbing and washing. I got about 2 and a half wash cloths out of a 2oz ball of "Peaches and Cream" cotton yarn.
I used a size G hook and gauge doesn't matter.
chain 30, sc in 4th chain from hook, (ch1, skip next chain, sc in next chain) repeat across.
ch3, turn, skip first sc, sc in space between sc, (ch1, skip next sc, sc in space between sc) repeat across.
(the last space on the row may be hard to find because it is the tiny gap in 3chs you skipped in the first row.)
repeat the second row until you achieve the right length, then tie off or edge anyway you like.
