I made one of these pot holders a while back in an Easter swap... I couldn't resist cutting a couple more out and I got these done over the weekend..... for the present box...
They are a Tilda pattern and I think very sweet either as a teapot holder (which is what they were designed for)... or a pot holder in the kitchen or a mug rug for those of us who love our mug rugz....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is one of Hubz and my favourite meals in front of the TV....
(of course it is easy peasy scrummy yummy)
Roasted cherry tomatoes....
I punnet of ripe tomatoes (these were quite big ones so I halved them but I don't usually)
dried thyme to taste
salt and pepper to taste
a good glug of olive oil
roast for about 30 minutes....
... we like it best served with a lump of camembert cheese which has been melted in the oven for 5 minutes, some fresh crispy bread and chilli/garlic olives....
... and of course a glass of excellent home brew...
Today Hubz and I are celebrating an anniversary....
I looked up what 35 year gifts could be....
Traditional... Coral.... (forget that I like our reef!!)
Coral apparently has the power to prevent sterility.... not sure why that might be an issue after 35 years.... but still.. whatever blows your hair back...
Modern... Jade..... (I have some pretty green beads already)
Jade is associated with increased body strength and longevity... if you've got this far you've had your fair portion of it already????
Gemstone .... Emerald..... they are pretty but pitifully I don't wear a lot of jewellery
The Egyptians buried emeralds with mummies... not a good sign thanks....
Gifts... Tropical cruise... holiday to a tropical island ... I wonder if the children will pick up on that one...
I think I will just serve peas with the yummy slow cooker dinner tonight..... (they look like pretty green beads?
Righto, Gotto Go..... time to sit back and dream of that cruise.....

I'm drooling at your dinner but I'm guessing you don't want an uninvited guest on this special occasion! :D

Sweet photo's and congratulations on 35 years of togetherness. Those tomatoes looks awful yummy. The bunnies are too cute.
Cheers, Anita.
Congratulations on 35 years!!! I think a homecooked meal is the best way to celebrate, especially with green peas representing green jade beads. Your bunny pot holders are so cute too!!
I hope there was a brew with dinner.
Congratulations!
Cute pot holders, they'd brighten up any kitchen.
Tomatos and Camembert - can't go wrong with that combination.
Happy, happy anniversary.

Happy Anniversary! The wedding photo is lovely. It's amazing the two of you don't look a day older.
Happy anniversary to you both!! Keep putting out that cruise thought you never know what might happen!!

Congrats to you & Mr Bubz on your anniversary, you look even more gorgeous now than your Wedding pic!!
I am very familiar with the Easter tilda creation(!) and I love it! Am I a rare person in that I do actually like mug rugs??!
Happy anniversary... a little late, but I just ran across your blog from the FNWF from "Country Fragrance". Sharm and I have been bloggy friends for a little while. I laughed so hard at your rendition of the "anniversary gifts". We've been married a few short years and I so wish I had met and married my sweetie many years earlier.
Beautiful handwork. We are in the midst of our summer, so not much stitching being done at my house these days. Too much gardening calling to me. I love both equally in their seasons. Happy day to you. I'll visit again soon.
