here is an example of what hand made means to me...I told my DH in Nov(thanksgiving day atually) that my potholders were getting ratty....he said, so go make some...I said..I have no time!
So I played in a potholder swap and got a really pretty one...so I threw out one old one...the next SP box that came..had a very pretty Christmas potholder in..just in time for Christmas..and then..I get a SP box with not 1 but TWO new potholders...all hand made and proudly being used in my kitchen! THey do not match anything, but they are MINE..and made with love from friends!
