Microwave Bowl Mitt

So I've been a little busy sewing again.  I made several of these at Christmas and gave to my mom, 2 sisters, a niece, and a few friends.  These are great helpers in preventing your fingers from getting burnt when taking a bowl out of the microwave.


This is the three I made today.  The two are a dog print on one side with bones on the other.  These can be inverted.  The third one I just Christmas print I had.  The second picture is showing them stack with a bowl inside.  As you can see the little corners are what you hold on to when removing from the microwave.








This shows the instructions with the mitt and bowl.  This is really a cute idea and a very useful project.  I purchased the instructions from "The Back Door" in Greenwood located on Meridian.

I just gave a fourth one away to one of Caleb's friends.  Being in college I'm sure he uses microwaves a lot so when he saw what I was making he was thrilled to receive one.

If Only I Could Draw

My daughter has ability that I will never master.  She must have gotten this talent from her father.  He too is pretty artistic when it comes to putting drawings on paper.  I've got my own talents but I've never been able to draw.  I am not the partner you want to play Pictionary or win, lose or draw with.  I just can't seem to get on the page what I see.  On the other hand, although they are not mine, I'm posting some pictures that my daughter has recently done.  I think they are pretty good.

 



 

 

 

She just finished this today for a friend who is moving away.  She likes Ariel from the Disney movie so if you look real close you can see the mermaid tail in the water. 

 
This is from a line of song and she was just doodling.
 
 
 
 

 
 
I think she enjoys the lighthouses because they are calming and peaceful.  Just wanted to brag on her.  Hope you found them pleasant too.
