OT - Rags into ovengloves

Hello folks,

I finally put captions on all the photos, which I took while making oven gloves out of a pair of old blue jeans. I then uploaded all the photos to a new album at Webshots. So if you would like to see how I turned an old pair of blue jeans and a perfectly fine towel (which had a hole in it) into a nice pair of ovengloves, have a look here:

I hope this inspires others to keep perfectly fine material out of the landfills! The whole thing took less than 2 hours, and I am going to make matching hot pads out of the other trouser leg and the rest of the towel!

Nevermind the ovengloves and the landfills. Who is that handsome man and can I have him? I'd just want to sit him in the living room, walk by now and then and say, "Ahhhh". I'm way too old to chase men (or buses) but I still can appreciate an especially good-looking fellow. Polly

That is Marvelous Mark, and seeing how difficult it is for me to get enough time to see him, I'm afraid I'm going to disrespect my elders and say, "Get in the queue, honey!" He understands and supports my fabric addiction, knows how to clean the house, and is getting a quilt made for him. I think that sums it up.

Ohhhh, Polly, he is such a hottie you'd need some oven mitts to use on him! LOL Good going there, Jo! And clever use of those scraps- good on you!

Ok Jo, you're smart, talented, frugal AND obviously you are a hottie yourself to have a man that good looking! LOLOL.

Seriously, I love the oven mitts. Such a great idea. I never throw old blue jeans away. I consider that fabric to be a gift from the gods of commerce. I'm glad to have one more good idea for how to use it.
