Share a smile Friday

I toyed with the idea of showing you my pot holders.... never mind a smile.... anybody who sews would have laughed right out loud.

Must practice how to sew a straight line for starters... and then... get Maggi back to show me again about how to fold the bias strip and get it on properly.....hmmmmm....

Mr. BV was so complimentary about my first one...
 (which I did with much handholding from my chum) ...but then, when I finished the second, and after not just a few curse words.... he laughed at it.  Of course, he doesn't do it to be mean...and it was kind of funny I suppose, with all the wrinkles and such... but, still......

At first I was a bit hurt...but, then I remembered he does laugh at my sister for things that I go right along and laugh at....so ...I laughed too. ... after I pouted a bit... and then, he suggested picking it out and doing it over.  Why didn't I think of that?  I always think things should be perfect the first time I do them.  And... as Maggi, my sister and even Mr. BV have all mentioned ....they are just potholders!

But, just a minute...they are just MY potholders and I want them to be nice people!!

Anyway... you're not seeing them today...

Instead ...I have my Russian friend to how you for a smile.... what a mug!   Literally.

Love that mug. Sewing? Practice and then practice some more. Pot holders are good things to practice on. You do know that there is a batting specifially made for oven mitts and potholders, eh? It has - wait a minute while I go upstairs to get it.
Got it, it's called Insul Bright and has insulating material needlepunched in it. It reflects the heat. It says that it's relective mylar.
