Pot Holders For A Cause

Olive has become a pot holder making machine. Some of you may remember when she received her loom for her 5th birthday in January. A few month ago she learned how to finished the edges of the pot holders all by herself and she now makes about three a day.

She plans to sell her pot holders at our holiday MOPS bazaar and will donate $1 for each pot holder sold to St. Jude Children's Hosptial. Her goal is to make and sell 40 pot holders for $2 a piece. I am very proud of her for making this decision.

These are some common uses for pot holders at our house:  a coaster, a barbie blanket, and a handle holder.

Olive says that "potholders are the perfect stocking stuffer"!

Pot Holders- Old school fun.

Do you remember making pot holders as a kid? Well, I sure do and my mom and aunt still use the ones I made in 5th grade. Olive received a pot holder loom for Christmas from Grammy and makes about one pot holder a week. I'll hear her say "over-under" as she starts each row. I thought it would be too hard for her, but she loves selecting the perfect color loop to add next. Here is her most recent creation that she made for me.

 

  

You can find these looms and loops at Michael's or Hobby Lobby.
