Kitchen love.....



It's a gray day today and I took a break from making a thousand
hexagons for THIS blanket.
So lets have a little peak into my kitchen.
Every kitchen needs tons of pot holders right?
or
some might call them hot pads.

 Well, these are my latest with pretty little cherry and heart appliques.
 Don't you just love them!
I got the idea from where of course....all places...

P I N T E R E S T
Well, really just the little cherry.
You can find a quick pattern to it if you are a viewer on Pinterest.
You can find my crochet board in my sidebar over there to the left
where you will find the pattern if you click on the picture.






These pot holders are the simplest to make ever!
I do believe you can have one of these made up within an hour
if you know the basic stitches of crochet.

Since I love them so much I think I might make a few more for myself,
a few for my mother and I might give away a few to a friend.



but...if you like to have one for yourself....here's my little easy peasy pattern.

♥♥♥

I do hope that you all had a lovely weekend.
It's been gray around here a lot lately and I have to say, 
January is not my favorite month.
I am so over the cold, the wet, and gray drizzly days
aren't you?

I"m more of a Spring girl and I can't wait until it's time to plant 
new seeds in my garden.
It's one big brown mush out there.

  2. Those are such cute pot holders. They would make great little gifts to encourage people that spring is on the way. I'm also VERY ready for spring.

  5. These pot holders are really cute! Love the little cherry embellishment. I have a pair of pot holders that my grandmother made ... they're a soft blue fabric with little faded black flowers. I love them hanging up on a cupboard doorknob ... just a nice reminder of her and my mother who used them all the time too :) Wendy x

  6. Thanks for sharing the clever pattern, Shari. It is pretty and practical! My wheat grass in my flower pots inside needs to be mowed, and it seems that there is a bit more light every day, which is encouraging, but I suspect we will still have some weeks of winter weather up here. Wishing you some cosy stitching time while we wait for Spring! xx
