Look What My Mom Gave Me

Blog Post Contents

My mom told me that she had something for me last weekend. Little did I know that she had the very same pot holders that I was talking to you about the other day when we featured the “Kitchen Drawers” designs for Free Pattern Friday. My mom had saved the pot holders from my Aunt Erma and Grandma Kingery and gave them to me. I almost cried when I saw them.

My mom said, “You might want some of them or might not want any of them.”

“Are you kidding me, Mom? I want all of them, and I’ll cherish them forever.”

If these pot holders could talk, I’m sure they could tell a good yarn. Ha! Ha! There’s even a pair of little drawers kind of like the free Friday pattern.

How funny that your mom thought you possibly did not even want them. Now, be sure you put them in a "safe" place. LOL!

It means so much to have something handmade to cherish from someone you love. When you touch it you feel like you're connecting in a very special way with that person. Enjoy them, and touch them often. Diane
