Housekeeping strike


Instead of doing housework, I decided to make more pot holders this afternoon. I call it housekeeping strike. Sometimes I just need to escape from the reality of my life - a piled up dishes, dog hair balls and dust bunnies, smeared muddy foot prints on the kitchen floor, just to name a few.
But, aren't they cute? Or are they crazy!? Or am I crazy? I thought they are fun. Thanks to Aimee for letting me scavenge her scrap fabric. They gave me a few hours of non-housework time.

Addendum: my husband just walked in. I told him that I'm on housekeeping strike. He said, "Then I won't be a scab. I won't cross the picket line." Maybe, we'll have macaroni & cheese for dinner tonight...

These are GREAT! I think you should start a business. They are so cute, colorful and cheerful! Much better than my ratty old pot holders that have seen better days. But these are too cute to use and get dirty! They should be a decoration piece. You are so creative.

I love the strike. But I think I have been on strike without saying it officially for much too long. The house looks awful!
