This month I am sharing these two heart shaped oven mitts that I made for my daughters. (I also made one as a birthday gift for someone, but forgot to take a picture before I posted it)
And finally a gift to me, from me. We were lucky enough to win the pub quiz a couple of weeks back, giving me some unexpected extra spending money when I went to the Craft for Crafters show in Exeter with my friend. We watched a workshop on fusing fabric by Margaret Beal, and I was inspired to buy a "starter pack" of a soldering iron, some shaped metal templates and a back of organza squares, and this is the result of my first little play:-

Thanks for taking part in GG this month. The heart shaped oven gloves are great! Attractive and practical too.
The new craft looks interesting too, I'm not sure I'd be safe with a soldering iron! Maybe I would need those oven gloves?
I love those oven gloves - I've never seen them before. You obviously have a creative streak, and a good eye for colour.
The gloves & mat are so sweet, and your metal work turned out beautifully!
Love the gloves and mat.You are doing great for a first time in the new craft .
Great hearts!! The gloves and mat are a great idea, and it's always good to gift ourselves :-)
Lovely gloves and mats!! I hope you enjoyed the workshop. I have done soldering in my electronics classes adding small resisters etc. onto a printed circuit board(PCB)
Ooh I did that craft when the show was at Malvern. I was hopeless! Yours look amazing. You've really taken to it well. Thank you for the lovely mat. It's in my new craft corner with my bowl of biscornu on top.
A gift for you... I like that attitude. I just treated myself to something, you'll have to wait till the next blog post to see it.
Not sure I could be trusted with a soldering iron, but I do like what you created with yours.
Gorgeous oven mitts.
Great projects you show here.
Very nice sewing! The ninja oven mitts are too cute :)
Oh wow, that's fab! Love the oven gloves too
I have no idea how you made those items with a soldering iron but they look great. I love the sweet oven mitts too. What a lovely idea to gift them to your daughters for Valentine's Day.
Cute oven gloves, Christine and I love the idea of being your own GG!

Great oven gloves and heatproof mat. It's the first time I've heard of fusing fabric. I like what you did.
