this will come in handy

This morning, a real sweet item came my way.

I don’t remember any mention of my favorite color to Riley, but about as soon as I got to church today, she came over to give me a very nice gift.
And Yes, yellow is my favorite color.

Her mom says the child could hardly wait until I got there; in fact had asked if it could have been delivered during the week as soon as she finished making the potholder.

I was just telling someone the other day that I keep very few of my own projects.
By the time the last bit of yarn is fastened off, I am beginning to grow tired of it and move onward to the next.

But a gift potholder, from a girl just learning the weaving, well, This is something I’ll treasure for a long time to come.

Now I’m off to do some hand writing on a nice note card.

~~love and Huggs, Diane

  2. That was very sweet! homemade gifts are the best...people put a little heart and soul in what they make. Bonus part is that she was making it with you in mind!
