This is the sum total of this weeks sewing. Picklesticks knitted this hot water bottle cover some time ago and tonight I sewed it up. I use hot water bottles to help with my arthritis (Man, I am sooooo old. Silver hair and arthritis!) so figured I could use a cover! I have been in a sewing funk this week and decided I needed to rearrange my sewing room. (I think that's called procrastination!) So, I have been rearranging furniture. And sorting through stuff. Not quite finished yet! I am off to sit and sew at the patchwork apple tomorrow. I might take my civil war homework with me because class is on Saturday!

Hot water bottle cover
This is the sum total of this weeks sewing. Picklesticks knitted this hot water bottle cover some time ago and tonight I sewed it up.

Oh I feel ya with the arthritis! It's going to rain later today so of course I woke up with my knee feeling like it's going to blow up and my arms are killing me! I was popping my drugs by 7:15 AM! ugh arthritis! I like the cover for the hot water bottle. I don't own one - maybe I need one. For my arms, knees, and neck (see I'm older than dirt!) I made these bags (pretty fabric/batting/muslin fabric) that are filled about half way with white rice. You sew it all closed and then you microwave it for 1 1/2 minutes on high and it holds the heat and because it's rice you can kind of wrap it around your arm/knee/neck etc (mine have cord handles on each end). I made 4 of them about 5 years ago and love them! But I must warn you - they don't smell so great - you could add lavender to it I guess - but they feel so good that it's worth it!
ReplyDeleteThat's almost Crows colours. Was that subliminal?
ReplyDeleteIt must be the week for re-jigging sewing rooms. I finally got into mine and did something so I could actually find things in there!
Way to go on the hot water bottle finish.
I reorganised/sorted my sewing room last weekend....I need to finish a couple of things and the room was such a mess there was no way I could sew in there....I was going to do my CW filler blocks tonight...but just remembered I am working...yay....and my beloved 'pies on playing in the prelim final.....so maybe no stitching tonight....hope you have a great afternoon at the Apple..!
