Happy Housewarming

My good friend from college had us over for dinner last night- to the new home that she and her husband just built. Having never been there, I didn't know what colors she had in her kitchen. I decided to go with something bright and fun for this vintage inspired housewarming potholder. A little violet never hurt anyone, right? I'm inspired to make some of these for sosorosey, in classic 40's, 50's, and 60's kitchen colors. Crocheting with size 10 thread is a challenge for my fingers, but the end result is worth it!

Come back tomorrow for a special Makeover Monday :)

Happy Housewarming

One of my best Etsy friends (does that make her a betsy instead of a besty?) just realized her dream of owning a home! I wanted to make her something special to celebrate, so I started scurrying around finding fabrics as soon as I found out her "colors".

~*~She is decorating with earth tones in her kitchen and dining area; chocolate, sage, paprika, olive, off-white, and the like.

~*~ Here is the rug that will go in front of her kitchen sink! If you look very closely maybe you'll see all the hugs hidden inside. I hear they help with dishes ;)
