Oven Glove Joy

Hello peeps, another update on some of the Christmas pressies I made this year.

As well as Elderflower cordial, sloe gin and spiced sugar (which I LOVE) I also made some other pressies.  You have seen the jewelry I made, well this is a small gift I made my DH.

Back in the late 70's and 80's he (as was I, but I didn't know him back then) was a big fan of a band called Joy Division.  Probably their most famous album had a black and white cover:



Lots of bands over the years have cashed in on merchandise (cue Misfits and Kiss....kings of exploiting merchandise-you can even get a Kiss coffin!!) so another band called "Half Man Half Biscuit" brought out a song called "Joy Division Oven Gloves" about bands exploiting themselves (youtube it...its a great song!).

So I made him some!


I bought a black oven glove and painted a representation of the Joy Division album with white fabric paint!!! 

Making a gift for DH is hard, his gifts this year consisted of a LOT of vinyl records and a bass pedal tuner (he is REALLY into music and plays in a punk band) so I was chuffed when I thought of this one!

Happy Crafting

  2. This is a bit of a big thing t say, but I think this is going to be the best blog I have seen all year and it's still only the first day of the year! Ha Ha. I LOVE Joy Division. I LOVE Half Man Biscuit (Although my favourite song is All I Want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague Away Kit) and I LOVE your idea! I did think about attempting something in the same vein the first time I heard John Peel play the Half Man Half Biscuit Song for the first time, but didn't hit upon the ease of using that design. Have a great week - Lucy #28 x

  3. Safety is one of our great concerns whether you are at work or at home. Wherever you are, whatever the things you do, never forget to exercise caution and take preventive measures against harm. To avoid accidents, we need to stay alert, keep our body in shape and be proactive in situations. Even doing habitual actions, we must be careful. vacuum glovebox

  4. This is an efficient way to store seasonal clothing enabling you to label each bag with a name or size eliminating all that time sorting through a box with a pile of clothing of various sizes at the change of each season.vacuum glove box
