In the meantime, I'll share a gift for one of the guys in my life-- a simple microwaveable heating pad. It measures 12" by 8" and has a divided muslin liner filled with rice. I used denim and a brown herringbone fabric from Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow line to keep it masculine. I might do a few more of these, because everyone could use some extra warmth every once in awhile! (And I just may have purchased a 25 pound bag of long grain rice at Costco that needs to get used.) I can share my instructions if you're interested, but there are tons of tutorials for these all over the web already as well!
And here's a sneak peek of a couple of other things I'm working on.
Back to it!

Busy, busy girl! Hmmm, beer warmers? or I guess that should be coolers. OR, I know, beer bottle rugs! Can't wait. Your table runner looks fabulous, btw.
Fun stitching on that pouch. I wonder how many times I'm going to have to see fun, freedom-loving stitching like that before I try it? Thanks for the inspiration!
these rice warming bags are amazing. i always mean to make one for myself but that usually gets put to the backburner. i love the colors of the table runner you are working on.
You know, I bet my husband would like a rice warming bag. I never thought of that! I could make small ones for his pockets when he is out in the barn even...Hmmmm...like i needed another project! I love everything you have shown up there!
I'm a birth doula and I've been using rice socks(literally a tube sock filled with rice) for years. It never occurred to make them decorative! That would be a great gift for my patients! Another great idea from you!
I'm inspired by your tablerunner. We have one, but I've been thinking it's time for me to make another.
I love the modern herringbone. Awesome.
