Bowl Cozies

My latest undertaking, bowl cozies. Made like potholders to keep your fingers from getting too hot or too cold. Those pictured above are unfinished, but on their way to completion. I've read that this is a "30 minute" craft, but I find that's not true. Anything worth making is worth making well, goes the old axiom. Though, they probably take an hour and a half to complete, you could take longer on them, to make them perfect. I was having sewing machine troubles, and was ripping a lot. Getting the final top stitching straight lost me some time, and I add a 'do not microwave' message, for safety's sake. Click through to my tutorial in the 'How To' section, should you want to make them yourself.

Toys in the Attic - Update

Finally finished this set of bags. As with all the items I make, each is a one-of-a-kind bag, each special and unique, and most of all Fun! There's been lots going on. Some family time, fixing and fixing again a water problem in the fridge, dogs, yardwork, housework... It's an even dozen bags, with very little in scraps left. Lets hope that these grab folks by the imagination, and they need to include one or two in their own collections!
