Julia at the STAMPING GROUND hosts our weekly adventure of visiting desks. It's always a pleasure to see the new ideas, and the variety of work others are doing and sharing.
I did get some time this week at my desk, because we had a major 2 day storm. 50/60 MPR winds and blizzard conditions. Roads were closed and things came to a standstill. I was thankful we did not loose our electricity. We did not get a lot of snow it just drifted and rearranged its drifts over and over. Working on 2 birthday tags for the end of this month. But my MoJo just isn't with paper at times. Previous post has a couple of cards I also finished up.

I spent more time with my new sewing machine..This is a patterned bright colored dish kossie for those hot bowls coming out of the microwave. I bought this one and attempted to make the light beige one, a sample run with odd pieces of ugly Christmas scrap fabric. SIMPLE...I did find an excellent video done by Amy of FASHION TOPPINGS which made the whole process very easy.
And we all have leftover fabric ............so it's a great way to use that up.
USE ALL COTTON Fabric and Liner...EVEN THREAD if you put it in the micro...I don't I just use it to hold the bowl while I eat.
I know many of you love working with Fabric and these are a must have for microwave hot bowls. And there are bigger sizes. Great gifts, I've bought several for just that, but now I can make them..Hope you enjoy this video if you are interested.
We in the states are having Primary elections..preparing us for our future candidates in the up coming Presidential election, so TV is either addictive or not so much. We had our SUPER BOWL Sunday, and college basketball keeping me attentive. Our IOWA Hawkeyes and Iowa State Cyclones are doing great this year so college basketball wins over.
Thanks for stopping by....have a fun WOYWW kind of day and enjoy a lovely weekend.

Brrrrrrr, I think I wouldn't have been going far either in that sort of weather! Perfect for some fabric crafting though...I've seen those microwave bowl holders before but the video is very good. Thanks for the link!

Never knew about microwave fabric bowls they seem really useful mine heats up the bowl more then the food it seems some day.
I know this might sound strange but are they put in the microwave too?

Adorable owl too
I think you've linked your previous post, but still managed to find this one :-) Lot's going on, those microwave bowl holders look great.Vicky#19
I love that you are using that new machine! Those microwave pads are amazing and I will have to go check out the video. I've had you on my mind as I know your weather has been terrible. We are very cold for us here this morning. 18 degrees and a stiff wind! Glenda #31
Do be sure to use only cotton fabrics and thread if using them in the microwave wont you cos any synthetic materials will go on fire.
Hope you have a great week.

Hope the worst of the weather is over for you now - we still have rain - when will it end? Thanks for the link to the pot holders - now they are on the to do list with some scraps. We have news on your Primaries over here and I think the whole of Europe is amazed that Trump get so many votes. Have agood week x Jackie 28
I think you must have sent that snow our way - it's very snowy here this morning in Michigan.
What a wonderful way to use leftover fabric and people can certainly use them. I want to re-learn how to sew. It's been a while. lol

I don't put mine in the micro but the ALL COTTON ones can be..fire on some if even thread is not cotton. My scraps are who knows what kind of fabric !!!
I don't put mine in the microwave..just use them to hold the bowl while I eat. I have no clue what my fabric is....
I think most people are tired of government here...too long of terms for Congress..Obama tries so hard and people have no respect. We need new in the House and Senate...President don't usually make all the decisions. It needs to get back to "Government for the people by the people".
Love all your pretty coloured inks and the tiny stamps? on your desk. Hope the snow has passed now. Linda #47
OOhhh, I LOVE snowstorms - if only because it's a great excuse to stay in and craft! Enjoy yours and happy WOYWW! xo Crystal #43
I must admit that the super bowl (although widely shown here) passed me by. We also had a hideous weekend of weather; I think a lot of us creative types finally got to our tables! Love tat you use the cute glass pudding bowls to put pieces in, makes your desk look very upmarket!
Hi Sylvia, I started okay this morning but got tied up with a difficult project so only just getting round to starting my visits. Pleased you are enjoying your new sewing machine. Have a great woyww and happy crafting, Angela x 26
I love seeing your special place to create!
I really do not miss the mid-west winters. LOL But I do miss the snow. I need to spend some time with my sewing machines. Have one I've never had up and running. Hmm. Creative blessings! Kelly #42
Hi Sylvia,
Very cool bowls for the microwave. I love the Mary Engelbreit fabric! I know what you mean about either having something to watch on TV or not. I watched the Super Bowl and even though I'm a Bronco fan the game wasn't that interesting. Oh well. I got some knitting done!
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (50)
I've always wanted to make those bowl cozies, Sylvia. You've inspired me to give it a try!
