Christmas Tree Potholder
I hate tacky Christmas craft, but this potholder is better than most.
At least it's not loud.
I might even make one for Mr Bumps' kindy teacher this year.

And then I used this pattern (leaving out the flowers) to make a plain one for hubby for his birthday in July.

Mary Jane Slippers
Wren and I wear these slippers all the time around the house.
On really cold days, we just add a pair of socks for toasty-warm toes.
If you have timber or tiled floors, just add a few circles of fabric paint to the bottoms to make them non-slip!
