Junie Moon: Oven Hand Mitts and a Recipe

Oven Hand Mitts and a Recipe

My Creative Every Day 2010 project for Saturday was sewing oven hand mitts—always useful in the kitchen.

I used an easy tutorial created by Amy of The Idea Room blog to make starfish oven hand mitts. I paid careful attention to Amy’s edited note about doubling up on the Insul-Bright to ensure protection from the heat.

My friend Paula, a Creative Memories consultant, hosts a monthly scrapbook crop day at her house and feeds us a delicious lunch. Yesterday’s crop was another example of her gracious hospitality.

I took along my new oven hand mitts to show her and we gave them a test run when Paula took her entrée out of the oven. The mitts worked great.

Paula kindly said I could share the recipe she used.

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...: The oven mitts are really nice as they are not too big to stash in a drawer as I like to do when they are not in use.

Bridgett said...: When I first saw the ring...I thought it was some sort of apple pie ring.

But a taco ring is just as good. :); January 16, 2010 at 12:00 PM
