Making More Gifts!!

 

I have spent the day sewing up some homemade microwaveable heating pads for some Christmas gifts. Very easy and quick to make! You have to use 100% cotton fabric and I filled them up with rice. 

Take two pieces of fabric that are approx. 12 inches by 15inches and sew them with the right sides facing each other on 3 sides. Turn them right side out and then measure every 2 inches. I used a fabric pencil to make the lines. Sew them leaving about an inch at the end. Fill each tunnel with rice. Then sew the end shut neatly. 

That is it! 

Place them on a microwave safe plate and into the microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Use the warm pad on your sore back or whatever ache you have.

I still homeschool my son and he loves to watch educational things on Youtube. There are a lot of them out there. 

I even use Youtube a lot to figure out how to do things. Like, recently, how to change my rear light bulbs on my truck!!

Organize Your Food Storage

 Now is the most important time to organize your food storage. Get it together!! Use a notebook and write down everything and how many of each you have. With all of the food shortages coming and supply chain breaking - you have got to know what you really need and get it as soon as you can before it is out where you shop! Don't wait until the last minute. Spend the next few days just organizing and tracking what you have and then you will know what you need. Several recipes that I make use specific items and I know that the next time I go shopping I am going to just focus on those items. Don't worry about space in your home or making a mess....Having food for your family to eat is much more important than if your house is all put together. You can tell by my photo that I am just trying to stack it full , then I will get it all cleaned up. It is organized in my notebook , I promise. There are a few more shelves like this in my kitchen that are full.

You can clean later when you have it all!!
