potholders and a birthday!

first, if you see this happy guy today, wish him a happy birthday!  it's brother #2, the business owner/author and the second musician in our family.   the card's in the mail, but i didn't want him to think i forgot, or worse, didn't care.

and despite herculean efforts, the selvedge bin did NOT get emptied, not quite.

course i went to the stash 3x to find more to finish my potholders and this is what remains.  they'll get stored away in a pencil case for when there are more and probably more potholders will get made at some point...

almost done, these 26 will go to the fair hoping  to raise some christmas money.  already sold 10 others....a special gift is on for somebody is planned and it requires a small influx of cash....so fingers crossed!
