MollyGrue Prolific Registered: Wed Mar 21 2001 Posts: 1765 Loc: Michigan USA	Hey all, My mom made oven mitts for my son's teachers for Christmas, but we're unsure that they will know what they are without being told. I told my mom she should include a card saying something about cooking and/or not getting burned, anybody have any ideas on what to write? Thanks, Betsy Edited by MollyGrue (Sat Dec 19 2009 05:02 PM) _________________________ "I don't have to conform to vagaries of time and space...I'm a loony for god's sake!"

I'm not a very good seamstress myself, so I can imagine any oven mitts I made looking like nothing on earth....

MollyGrue Prolific Registered: Wed Mar 21 2001 Posts: 1765 Loc: Michigan USA	Those are great! The oven mitts are quilted and are a rectangular shape, so at first glance they sort of look like oddly shaped trivets. _________________________ "I don't have to conform to vagaries of time and space...I'm a loony for god's sake!"

Verbonica Enthusiast Registered: Tue May 16 2006 Posts: 316 Loc: Napa Valley California USA	Thanks for the biscuit ...that couplet was probably better than my first incarnation - a feeble imitation of Ogden Nash or Dr. Seuss: Wear these mitts or burn you the pot of soup'll Merry Christmas from a most grateful pupil.
