I'm working on a new doll that I'm very excited about, but ran out of the material I was planning on using. I ordered some more, but when it arrived it was a completely different colour than the last batch I ordered. So, first I got mad - at myself for ordering the wrong stuff, then the people who dyed it a different colour and then myself again. Then I broke out an alternative project, so as not to go a whole weekend without my sewing machine.
I already had a pair of Christmas oven mitts, but let's just say there was an unfortunate incident with an oven element. Hem hem.
So I whipped up these oven mitts based (loosely, I might add) on this free pattern from Skip to my Lou. I used thermal fleece to protect against any further oven element incidents. Hem hem. And those berries are just decorative for the photos sake, by the way. I'm sure that the berries would not survive an element incident. Hem hem. I seem unable to speak of "the incident" without the hem hem bit. Hem hem.
