Chanukah like many holidays features delicious foods. Hot latkes (potato pancakes) topped with sour cream and applesauce come to mind. This year to add to my holiday collection of items I decided to make a set of potholders using some of my Chanukah fabric stash. For Giveaway Day 2009 I am offering the two potholders pictured here. The first is a pincher made using a keykalou.etsy.com pattern and the second is my own square design and measures 7 inches across. Both potholders have a layer of batting and insul bright and loop for hanging.
I’d like to know what handmade items you’ve made to decorate home for the holidays? Leave your comments here between December 2, 2009 and December 6, 2009 at noon. I’ll use the random number generator to pick and winner and mail the potholders out on Monday the 7th. I do ship internationally. So please share you traditions and ideas.
Ive made many red boots in felt. I place them around my living room. My nephew loves to see them.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win your giveaway!

I am loving that driedel (did I spell it right?) fabric - how cute! I am making a Christmas quilt at the moment. It is my first year quilting and I am seeing me and my boys snuggled under it on Christmas day, with a roaring fire and a few chocolates to keep us company :-) Thanks for the chance to win your lovely potholders and have a great Chanukah.

ReplyDeleteSome of the things we've made this year to decorate are a Jesse Tree and an Advent Calendar. Well, okay, to be fully honest the Advent Calendar is only partially finished but enough is done that we're using it already!

we do christmas (my side) and chanukah (his side.) i made some chanukah decorations when our girls were little since we didn't have any. i cut out some dreidels and a lion from some artwork the girls brought home from school.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a homemade Christmas tree this year, and I love to display a decorative fabric basket that my mom made me.
ReplyDeleteHi! I made a nice centerpiece [wooden bowl filled with hickory nuts that I harvested, and a candle centered in the middle], and now it's got me inspired. I love filling the house with candles this time of year: a)Chanukah! b)I went to Norway 3 years ago, and every shop & home had candles in the window. It reminded me that you are supposed to keep your menorah in your window, and suddenly it made so much sense: it's very cheery & lifts the spirits when it's so cold & dreary outside.
ReplyDeleteWould love to win the potholders!
These would make a perfect gift for my dad ... I love the fabric and I'm sure that it was really hard for you to find. Thanks for the chance to win. curry(dot)jessica(at)gmail(dot)com
