My sister-in-law made us these beautiful potholders that arrived in the mail yesterday… just because! ❤️ A wonderful surprise. 🙂
I just love the colors and patterns and stitching… I’m not sure I can use them for hot foods as they are too pretty!
And speaking of cold… we woke-up to 8 inches of new snow yesterday morning! 😮
I guess winter isn’t done with us in the Pacific Northwest. Time to make a homemade pot of hot soup on a cold day!
Cheers! 🙂

Beautiful potholders! What a great surprise.
I’m hoping we don’t have any surprises of snow, although they are predicting some this weekend. The amount is uncertain, which is never a good sign…(K)

Thanks Kerfe, yes, I’m always excited when we get something in the mail besides junk mail or bills… 😉 I hope you don’t get too much snow! It turned cold overnight here so now we are a slipping and a sliding on the roads which is never a good thing. ❄️

It is always so pretty after it falls… and peaceful! Today it is super cold so the sun is shining and the birds are active. They are probably trying to stay warm… lol! 🐦❄️🐦

Hi Jill – Potholders are those items we never get for ourselves. How nice of your sister-in-law to provide you with such artistry to help in the kitchen. You probably want to frame them. I know I would. Stay warm!

I agree, Sharon, I never buy potholders. The ones I currently have are looking really bad! 😉 I may use them as trivets for hot food so I don’t get them dirty. 😊 I love the stitching and design. I’m sure you will see it show up in some of my artwork. 🎨👍

It’s going up to 8 degrees Celsius today and looks like the next week will be above freezing with no snow in sight. The bad news is that it looks like no sun for most of the week and chance of rain. All that beautiful snow will be washed away but I’m sure we haven’t seen the end of winter yet.
