Super Sized!

17 x 6 inch flannel heat pack

    Over that past few months I have had a few requests for larger heating pads and one client even special ordered some.  I've always hesitated making them because I wasn't sure how they would fit in a microwave. Well this weekend I finally experimented with making a some.The bags fit in the microwave just fine if you fold them.  The heating time is, of course, is a couple minutes longer.  I let my husband try one out for his neck and he liked how it wrapped around better than the shorter ones I have.

22 x 5 inch heating pack with removable cover. 

This is what the heat pack looks like without the cover. All of these bags are double-stitched to last longer.

When I have more time I will make larger square shaped packs : )

Pillows! Pillows!

While digging around in my material box, I came across this silky soft, shaggy and red fabric. It was perfect for making this neck roll and neck pillow.  They are filled with a polyester filberfill.  The neck roll I gave to my mother for her birthday and she loved it!  She will get the neck pillow too, I just didn't have it ready on her birthday.  I was just a little untogether this year.  Sorry mom : )

Just Between Friends Sale

This weekend Amy and I gathered some of our creations to sell at the Tacoma "Just Between Friends" event down at the Puyallup Fair Grounds.  At these events, consignors bring their new and gently-used children's and maternity merchandise to sell. We brought lots of our cute hair bows.  Shoppers browse and purchase these items at a great saving, usually far below retail prices. What a huge event it was!  It was like being at a huge department store - almost like a Babies R Us store.  This was our first time being a part of this particular event and I must confess that I was really surprised at how organized and clean everything was.  Not only that, all of our items sold!  This is something worth telling people about whether you have items your children have grown out of, maternity clothes, or toys to sell; or are looking for gently used items for your family.  JBF happens at all different locations around the US.  Check out their site for more info!
