Too Hot To Handle

(must be why I'm single!)

I realised this morning that today is the last day Ollie will see his Teacher (carer?) at child care as she is leaving tomorrow.

Fortunately Ollie has already sussed that pink is her favourite colour, so it was time to raid my stash and make her a parting gift.
It was slim pickings as far as the pink was concerned, but I'm pretty happy with how the gift turned out.
As you can see, an oven mitt and pot-holder. I used a template from Denyse Schmidt Quilts for the mitt (with a few adjustments to make it more comfortable), and just made up a matching square for the pot-holder.
All fully lined and quilted. Now to find a drawing of Ollie's that I can magically turn into a farewell card....

You should be happy - thats a really lovely present - I hope she likes it.

I always think that one day I'm going to be maniacally organised and craft a present stash. Then I realise it's a pointless exercise, because I spend all my time crafting specifically aimed at the recipient (sigh). There's a lot of 'favourite colours' to have on standby!
