Cottage Projects

This summer we've been doing a lot of posting of project ideas via Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, including lots of cottage friendly projects. One of our favourite cottage projects are wash/face cloths; they're small, fast, portable, simple, affordable, and make great little gifts (wrap a soap up in one and tie with a ribbon). Plus, there are crates and crates of Free patterns for cloths (and some great paid patts too)!
