Pretty Little Sunflower

After a LOOOOOOOONG break I have finally started designing patterns again.Yay!
This pattern was particularly designed for a crochet swap group I am part of. Our swap was Kitchen themed and my swap partner for the month has hers decorated in Sunflowers. I couldn't find a Sunflower applique that I enjoyed so I decided to design one. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would share with y'all !

My Dish cloth obsession

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am addicted to dishcloths.
There! I said it! Pheeew!
I blame my crochet exchange group and Peaches n' Cream for making the most beautiful 100% cotton yarn.
They are so handy to have around the house plus you can just toss them in the washer! There are sooo many patterns that I am sure you can spend days just looking at them, so I gathered my favorite patterns to share with you all today!
First is the Nubbie Scrubbies. This pattern is great for practicing your treble crochet stitch. Here is mine <3.

Then there's the Crunchy Stitch dishcloth. Perfect for cleaning those stubborn counter tops (at least they're stubborn in my house!)

Then there is the Sedge Stitch dishcloth. I found this one to be the easist and quickest to work up  :-)

Next is the Sunburst dishcloth. I loved this cloth but didnt have the colors so made my own colorful version !

And last but not least a beautiful Cherry dish cloth <3 I love this one! It will brighten up any kitchen! I hope y'all enjoy these lovely patterns <3 I would love to see your work so please feel free to post on my facebook page Mama Bee's Crafty Things (www.facebook.com/mamabeescrafts) or join our crochet group The Crochet Menagerie <3 Till next time , Enjoy! xx
