    I am loving your dishtowels - did you use a pattern for the appliques or make your own? They all look too yummy to use, lol!!!

    That's teasing when you put chocolate in a post like that! It sure does look delicious.
    Beautiful work on the dish towels. So bright and fresh. I especially like the idea of the apple being eaten. Lovely!

    Hello Fiona,

    I was thinking when I saw your cups that the handles on them remineded me of doughnuts, but I see they are full of chocolate. Enjoy.
    Happy days.

    Yum....
    Love your tea towel embellishments especially the apples one.
    The fabric is lovely too. Don't know what you could use it for. An apron perhaps or a tablecloth.

    Those tea towels are beautiful, I'm loving them all! Were they your own patterns?

    Yum... chococino. I have no idea what that is but I think it might be chocolate coffee so it sounds good!
