Mitten Love


I have some very talented friends who make me the most amazing gifts.  I want to share with you my mittens that my friend Sally made for me.  Sally uses recycled wool sweaters and vintage buttons.  They are the softest, warmest mittens I own and perfect for Michigan winters.


These mittens were made using my son's college logo and paw print.  I was speechless.


Sally then told me to look inside.  The enclosed tag has my son's photo on it.  That's when I started crying...thank you, Sally!

I would also like to publically thank Sally
for loaning me a sewing machine over the holidays,
while mine was in the shop, so that I could finish
my custom quilt orders.  I will be forever grateful!

God bless our friends,

  1. Those are truly lovely - and what a great friend to have. I think "She lent me a sewing machine" counts as true sacrificial giving!!

    But can you tell me - what are those mittens lined with - and tis there some sort of fleece interlining? they look fabulously warm!
