Free embroidery flowers....

I've now done 5 of the embroidered tea towels - each a different colour. They each have 5 flowers free embroidered on in black with one picked out in a colour. I've done red, orange, teal, pink, and purple. I love the simplicity of these. The tea towels are 100% linen and are so crisply beautiful.
Will be listing them on my new website very soon.
On a domestic note, I have decided on a new plan to keep on top of things!!
The aim is to do one hour's cleaning each morning and then stop!! So I figured I would do one room a day - sounds easy doesn't it?!
I need something to stop the guilt - if I don't clean then the guilt nags me all day and I can't concentrate, plus we always seem to get visitors when the house looks like a tip!
I'll let you know how it goes!! Got a good start today with the kitchen. I put radio 4 on and my best pinny and cleaned and mopped just like Doris!! (Day! of course) (only not singing that song about a 'woman's touch') I forgot about that bit!! x

  3. My only tip is not to start the hour by tidying your sewing table. When I do this something catches my eye and before I know it I've made an apron and it's time for the school run! :-)

  4. I like the one hour plan. Do you always stick to one room? If I did some rooms would only get 'done' once a fortnight. Maybe I should do two hours a day....
