Greetings all,
Embracing Winter is the trick to enjoying it. I thought i'd dig up ye olde hot water bottle cover recipe (which consists of laying a hot water bottle onto fabric & cutting around it) & mix it up with different fabrics, organic batting, quilting stitches, bias binding, fabric buttons . . .
I took half a dozen into Shop Handmade today, they're already featured on FB (thanks Tania).
I have many more cut out, in screen printed fabrics & boy's themes too. The quilting takes ages, but it's fun. I also like the smaller hot water bottles (no idea where to get them but we have some which came with covers from Peter Alexander) so if i find the mini bottles, i'll make some covers!!
Oh look at this one merchandised with Sheep's Clothing & Soft&Lush at Shop.
All this heat inducing goodness - just in time - those are snow clouds above school this afternoon. My darling husband is coming home this weekend, leaving sunny warm Brisbane for a Canberra forecast of -6C on Sunday night. He's already researched that woollen underlays & doonas are 30% off at David Jones. Mega investment pieces for the next 15 years of marriage. He might be a soldier used to roughing it, but when he's home, it's all about comfort.
My oil cloth bunting is in Shop Handmade too, super cute cubby house mini style & a larger version for outdoors. Happy Creative Space folks, i'm sewing up more hot water bottle covers. Love Posie
PS i could start every new post with a 'thank you for the comments on the previous one', you're all so awesome out there in blogland, THANK YOU!! Seems i'm not on the only one who didn't shine on Mother's Day, sigh. The IKEA giveaway was huge & stay tuned (follow this blog) as next up it's a mega LEGO giveaway!!
