Dwight Schrute

In my neighborhood, we have several crows (or a murder if you will) who enjoy out in our large trees – teasing squirrels seems to be their hobby. I like to call them my friends (I’ll throw some peanuts out to them if I see them) because crows are my favorite birds. So I was extremely excited when we received the new member of the Scrub-A-Dub club, the adorable Bird on a Wire Dishcloth.

When looking into the background of this week’s free dishcloth pattern, the super cute Hipacious Houndstooth Dishcloth, I learned some fun facts.
