hovel, sweet hovel
sometimes, while reading other people’s beautiful blogs, and seeing glimpses of their lovely homes, i start to feel that my housekeeping abilities are abnormally appalling. i am simply not one of those people who can keep my house consistently clean and tidy. i go through bursts of industrious organisation, and determined washing-of-all-the-things, but it’s never been something i’ve been able to maintain for any length of time, and my house always seems to descend into a state of cheerful chaos before long.
i’m sure i can’t be alone in this, so i have designed a simple little pattern for the domestically challenged among us…
the pattern is free, and you can find the chart here. you can sit on the couch and stitch it up, instead of doing the vacuuming!
hope you like it!

“i am simply not one of those people who can keep my house consistently clean and tidy.”
You are certainly not alone. If I could stitch, I’d stitch that!

haha how recognizable. You are indeed certainly not alone here!!
My house is a crafty mess. But I think it adds character!

Love this, I added a period looking house and made a small sampler with this pattern for my Mother as a Xmas gift, we are kindred spirits in our loathing of housework!
Thank you so much for sharing
