A: Buy new ones.
Q: What do you do when your oven mitts are falling apart and you've been binge-watching Good Eats with your roommate all weekend?
A:
MAKE YEAST PUPPETS! If you're not familiar with these things from Alton Brown's show, here's a clip:
Those things are just the best EVER. They're little gray socks with googly eyes, pipe cleaner "antlers", and big, red mouths - they pop up, belching and farting all over the kitchen, every time Alton talks about yeast producing gas to make your bread dough rise. Yes, the pipe cleaner "antlers" on my mitts are a fire hazard when reaching into a hot oven, and they don't fit in the drawer where the hot mitts and towels are kept without being smashed. These things are just for fun, for "whimsy" in the kitchen. I bought a second set of mitts for actual use.
They do crack me and my roommate up, though, and that's what's important.

Meanwhile, though work on the craft room continues, I don't have anything to show you yet, and I'm still busy with the little, dirty details - and with finding the right size doors to replace the missing ones. Ever take your car seats apart to fit a pair of doors into the car, and drive home with them literally pressed up against your face (ow), only to get home and realize you bought the wrong size? Yeah. *sad trombone*
I did also manage to finish this drawing over the weekend, of a tulip I bought to decorate my new office at work:
Anyway. More actual house stuff soon, including, hopefully, some big craft room updates, and a BIG whole-house update. Stay tuned. You know, I mean, if you want to. You don't have to. It's your life. But I'll be sad if you don't.
