Pansies are always my first nursery purchase - I can not resist their sweet happy faces!
A man, a buddy, a beer and a dog, does it get any better? Not on your 21st Birthday! Andrew turned 21 on Wednesday. The big "party" is in a couple of weeks when he visits his college friends, so Wednesday was a low key, fun, family day.
Hanna and I did a little creative work on his car.
Retro craft anyone? Now those who know me well know that I can be an old fashion gal. I wear a apron, cook dinner five nights a week, bake cakes. One of my favorite kitchen tools is a good potholder. Here is my shabby collection, some made by the kids over 10 years ago.
I ordered some new cotton loops on line, got out my original red painted steal frame from the 60's and got to work. It was really fun and I now have 4 new potholders.
Hanna and I went on a 3 day college trip this week. We clocked over 1300 miles and visited 3 schools. I survived PA this time, with only one small direction mishap. The problem with PA is that if you go the wrong way, the only way to correct it is to go back and try again because of the mountains. So the curse of PA only cost me a little time and a little gas on this trip.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy 21st to your Son!!!
I love your rabbits in the first photo and I think pansies, next to Petunias are my favourite annual flower too.

Happy Birthday to your son!! I remember making a bazillion of those pot holders for my mom. She had even tucked a few away and we found them after she had passed.

I made many, many of those loop pot holders when I was a kid and young adult. Haven't thought about doing it in years. Makes me want to do it again.

I wish you could send a lttle spring our way. I love a pot of pansies too...still waiting.
Such cute potholders. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that trashes theirs.:)
We never had that contraption to make pot holders, first time I've seen them but I love them. The birthday car is a hoot, Happy birthday to him.
Happy Birthday Andrew! I can't believe our kids are all grown up. LOVE the potholders.
