I will post more after Christmas, did not want to give some things away. Rice therapy bags are one of my favorite things. You can see in the picture, I added a ribbon on the end to mine this year. The kids are always losing the one we have so I made them so they can hang on their door knobs. Thank you for the tip about freezing them. I did not know you could! Sadly had to sew all my stuff by hand as both machines are down. This I will fix as soon as possible after the holidays so I can continue to make things all year. I see a whole quilt under the tree for Mark next year! Have a wonderful day!Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309333545460322607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954314850758323081.post-24628951285012756722010-12-21T21:36:09.823-08:002010-12-21T21:36:09.823-08:00HEATHER DON'T READ!
Well you know I have been ...HEATHER DON'T READ!<br />Well you know I have been sewing up a storm for the last few months in my 'spare' time. The main items this year are -<br />Kleenex covers for travel packs- keeps them from sliding out of the plastic wrapper. I made 30 for work alone!<br />Rice therapy bags- they work in the freezer too. I made pillow style ones this year, small bags of white muslin with cases made of pretty materials. These are great gifts as they need to be replaced every year anyway :) I like the covers so they can be washed , especially useful if you want to use pretty smelling oils with them (the guys not so much :B)<br />Microwave fingertip potholders. I thought these were silly until I burned my fingers on a bowl. *doh*<br />Mu traditional thing baggies- cloth bags with elastic tops in various sizes. Surprisingly useful.<br />And my fave for this year- little pincushions in various styles with a smiley face of pins. More people are sewing and crafting nowadays so they are handy. I meant to take some nice pics of them and forgot. I used a variety of my darling fabrics and they turned out so darn cute!I ended up making a couple hundred items all together. But that includes some of the charity items like the two 18 inch dolls I made the wardrobes for. I also made some of the above items too. Nothing makes you richer then sharing things made with love :)<br />We also collected canning jars at a thrift store- all in spanking new shape and planned to give them out with fillings for soups and fancy hot drinks- but alas did not find replacement rings in time. Maybe those will be incorporated into some bday gifts instead. Triple chocolate brownie mix perhaps ...<br />Love the wood carrier idea. I have some sturdy duck material I might use for something along those lines...plotting.....<br />Home made rocks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
