Better late than never!

I'm a bad, awful, terrible daughter... I just got these very belated gifts for my mom for mother's day and her birthday to her. I could throw out a bunch of excuses right now but let's just get to the goods instead!
First off is something I made:

These are pot holders I made from the fabric Jenn sent awhile back. It is a Michael Miller fabric with retro style s & p shakers on it (click on image to enlarge it). The woman-my mom, needed some good pot holders... All she had were these wimpy paper thin ones that you had to use 3 of them together and that still was living on the edge of third degree burns. I made these nice and thick but admitly didn't try them out because I didn't want to get them dirty! Hopefully I haven't set my mom up with a disaster!

These I bought:

They are handmade cards by Mary Ann. Aren't they cute? It was hard to not keep them for myself! I love how each card is a little bit different but the same... very clever!

i have got so much stuff to put up for you all to see ... geez...just need the time!

Mellie, I would LOVE,LOVE them anytime I got them!!! They are sooo cute and well made, and I might add, much more cushy than the ones I had. I have used them, but I try very carefully not to let them get dirty, and I haven't gotten burnt using them individually!!! And Danny, well he is stuck using his OVGLOVE!!! I'm not taking any chances with him ruining my new beauties!!!! You are such a precious daughter and I LOVE you sooooooo much!!!!!! Thank you again. LOVE, MOM
