I read a wonderful tutorial from Pinterest on making towels and have now made two different colours - one for the Boathouse and the other for Main Street - .I am happy enough for my first attempt except with the ribbon on the pink ones - I find bows difficult since having the top of my finger badly cut a few years ago and sometimes my tying is poor especially on little things.
I used 2 baby wash cloths I had in the house but hope to look for more in the £1 shop over the next few weeks. The ribbons are little off cuts. I have started keeping those ribbons that are sometimes attached to clothes to help them hang on a hanger and annoyingly get in the way when you are wearing the clothes.
In the first picture you can just see little beach hut pictures I made for the walls inspired by the range in the Next catalogue.
I also have been decorating a little tray which came as a barewood item and I have now I hope shabby chic -ed it. It is painted in pale pink - still not sure if I am completely happy with the shade of pink and I put a little patterned inset in it and finished it with satin varnish.
