Feel the Love

This was to be a
simple little valentine
for a couple of my kids.A few of us sleep with a warm bag every night
because we are sooo cold.

You heat this in the microwave for 4 minutes,
then stick it in your bed,
then get ready for bed
& when you get in,
it's toasty warm.

Yes, I have heard of electric blankets.
I prefer to pretend I'm Laura Ingalls. :)So a couple of weeks ago,
I threw their bags down the stairs,
&
hubby wasn't quite ready to catch
& splat
they split open. :(

So I grabbed some favorite scraps &
stitched a little love note to them.
Sewed up the sides.

Now it's ready to be filled
with field corn.I like this better than rice,
not crazy about moist rice.
Just a preference.
You can get a big bag of field corn
at the farm store. cheap.

Fill 3/4's full.

Tuck the ends in,
stitch &
it's done.

Unfortunately Mr. Nosy noticed.
"Is that for me?"

Yes! It's for you.
Couldn't make him wait.

Their new bags were really cute,
so I wanted a new one
out of
the Apple Girl!

Did I mention the kids
get confused?
They think my bag is their bag?
I don't think we'll have confusion
with these fabrics.
And just so there's no question about it.
This one is...

If you'd like to make a warm bag,
there are simple directions here or it's on the side bar,
under Free Goodies at the bottom.
