just little (rice) bags you heat in the mircowave and stick them in your pockets to keep your hands warm, they stay warm for quite awhile, if you use field corn, I understand they stay warmer longer( my sil asked me to make her some :)

yes you certainly have been busy! I have 3 quilt tops done, need to quilt 2 and bind the other one. I'm getting there!
Still have 2 more aprons to make and hoping to get a purse done. We'll see.
Love the idea of pocket warmers!

We did get our tree up yesterday too!

10 flannel baby blankies for a local nursery
a fleece blanket with wavy edge & a little neck travel pillow for a chemo patient
a fleece blanket for my sil ( I hope to make her a quilt but not this year)
some pocket warmers
and some mending done that I needed.
Also, got my sewing room cleaned up, so far I feel productive for a change! Does anyone else feel like this?

I haven't been able to do much of anything the last few days. My husband just had surgery for a shoulder replacement and he is taking up most of my time. Had his first shower today after 4 days, he feels better and I'm worn out, those darn socks that he has to wear are awful to put on. I then had to go outside and shovel as we had a little more snow this morning. I think I'm ready for a nap. Only 6 more weeks to go!!!!

ahhhh! I make various sizes and shapes to-heat and put on my daughter's crampy belly, my achy shoulder and yes-to keep the bottom of the bed, where the puppies sleep, warm.

I did make 11 bookmarkers on my embroidery machine over the weekend. Also 1 Christmas ornament. Now I am trying to finish up the flannel blankets for the hosp pediatrics ward. Only have 7 more to go before I deliver them.
I also want to make some stuffed teddy bears - hopefully before Christmas, but if not... they will still be appreciated in the new year.
