Adventures in Microwave Bowl Hot Pads in Different Sizes

Welcome back to another installation of interesting items!

Today we'll be looking at Microwave Bowl Hot Pads (MBHP), the things that help you keep from burning your hands when you microwave foods.

As a note, some of these are for gifts and some are for sale. See the information at the bottom for more details. Additionally, I used my own Fiesta cereal bowls (clean from the cupboard) to show how the large and medium sized MBHPs fit the same size bowl.


Above: The collection of my latest round of Microwave Bowl Hot Pads. This group contains 7 large MBHP and 2 medium MBHP. The two on top are the medium sized ones. (Also, this picture does not include all of the larger size MBHPs.)


Above: This little winter wonderland inspiration is also the first one where I experimented with a larger size base. I think it turned out pretty nicely, even though not quite how I envisioned. The walls are more vertical than intended, though it's still very much so functional.

Below: This picture is the second variation of the larger size option. They still have a more vertical wall, but it turned out nicely as well. I think this print would be a wonderful addition to a cowboy themed kitchen.


Above: This floral design worked up nicely with a wall angle that accommodates a bowl nicely. I especially like the complementary colors on the different floral prints here.

Below: Here I show how a cereal bowl fits in a larger size MBHP.



Above: I found this Christmas gift themed fabric too cute to pass up; a wonderful accent for guests.

 
Above: This pair of MBHPs features a geeky computer theme and complementary green reverse side.

Below: Here is what the computer theme looks like with a cereal bowl.

  

Above: These DC comics themed fabrics combined well together and will be a fun gift for my friends. (Note: These fabrics are specifically licensed and are not fore sale.)

Above: I personally enjoyed the contrast of peaches and bananas from my fruit themed fabrics, so I combined them for this MBHP. As a note, this is a medium size MBHP.


Above: A medium size MBHP in brown polka dots and spots. I found this combination to be adorable. It is nice how the earth tones between the two fabrics complement each other.

Below: Here you can see how a medium sized MBHP fits my cereal bowl. (Yes, I used the same cereal bowl for each picture in this post.)


I hope you enjoyed this adventure as much as I did! Stay tuned for more!

Blessings and Peace!

Adventures in Sack Socks





   
Do you collect grocery bags? They make great trash sacks, but it can be hard to keep them organized. Some people stow them under a cabinet, others put bags inside other bags, but I like to keep my grocery bags in a sack sock. I actually have 2 sack socks in use at the moment. Both were gifted to me. That's where I got the idea to make sack socks for others.
 


These sack socks were made from a stretchy nurses' uniform material. Originally, they were supposed to be sold  through a friend's shop, but she ended up not being able to continue her shop due to the demands on her from her main job. 

I used a 15 inch by 10 inch piece of fabric, 2 elastic bands to stretch to 10 inches each, and a strip of fabric 2 inches wide folded for the loop. While there is more than one way to construct a sack sock, I prefer to sew up the side first, then sew the elastic "pockets" leaving an allowance for the elastic to be run (placing the hanging loop at the top), running the elastic, then sewing the elastic together before closing the elastic "pockets" to finish. 

I hope you enjoy this product as much as I do!

Many Blessings,

Tabitha
