I did it! I finished my owl potholders! Now I get to throw them into the box that is being shipped to my cousin and my aunt. There are quite a few goodies in that box! Some fabric bowls, a ruler, some thread, and some pot holders! I know they’ll be surprised when they get it! Now I have a commission I have to work on, so if you’ll excuse me, I have fabric to iron and cut! Wish me luck!

Pot Holders For My Cousin And Aunt
I started to sew these out last night. My cousin said she wanted some, so I figured I would make some for her mother too. I still have to finish the satin stitches around the eyes and then bind them, but they are looking good so far! I really like the colors I picked out! They look like a cute little family!
We Can Build A Snowman
And even though he is a potholder he won’t melt! The wonders of insul-bright! Now that I have 2 down, I still have one to go! Next is the ginger bread man. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to get to that one tonight since I have a few other pressing projects. I really want to take a nap, but sewing comes first! Wish me luck!
The Penguin Is Finished
This pot holder is just to die for! (Is it pot holder, or potholder?) It is three layers, and you insert your hand into it. It works great! To test potholders to make sure the work well, I put my iron on high and grab it with the pot holder. If it gets hot right away, I know I need more insul-bright. Next one to be tackled is the snowman!

Planning Projects For Next Week
I’m planning out a few projects for next week. I think things go slightly better when I have a plan. Haha! So, here is what I am doing next. I’m making these adorable potholders for a class I am going to be teaching at the sewing center I work at! My favorite is the owl! I’m so excited! Christmas in July!
I’ve been getting much better at Pot Holders
Between the hassles of my crazy week of work and what not, I have been working on pot holders. I also did a few mug rugs, but those are now lost in my craft room. I even did some of the quilting on the machine I just got. I love my Free Westinghouse sewing machine! It does an amazing job, and I love it! Look at how well it quilted these down!!
