i've found that the best cure for a chilly, grey afternoon is to be productive. today, i dug into a huge bag of fabric scraps from the the blissen studios and put together some patchwork pot holders using my favorite patterns.
these little gems are made from 100% recycled materials- the scraps, some old towels for the padding inside, and even the little loop of rick-rack trim.
i've made a bunch of these for myself, friends and family. today's efforts can be seen in my etsy shop, along with some other handmade goodies.
i have many more ideas for ways to use these fabrics scraps, so stay tuned.

I wandered over here from Design for Mankind, and at first glance, my heart fell to the floor! That Mikasa cup & saucer is the everyday dishwear from my childhood!
