Pot Holders!!










These fun, brightly colored pot holders are made by Kalene's husband when he sits down (rarely) in the evening to rest from doing all the chores that their little farm requires.

Some of these are 100% wool, most are 100% cotton, but they are a step up from the ones we made as kids!
