However I came home from work today, still full of cold but with a couple of hours to fill; other than booking the boiler man to come and listen to the worrying rumbles tomorrow, I had time to make something.
After I saw the beauty made by Rachael on Instagram last night, I knew what I wanted, nay, needed to make, and armed with a new hot water bottle, a nice big one, I took the easy route…
Drew round it, added an inch all round; layered, quilted, right-sides together and zig-zag-slash-straight stitched round the edge. Turn through, all done, can't wait to go to bed…
I might not even wait to go to bed actually; it's another stormy night out there, so I don't need an excuse!
And before I go and put the kettle on, look what I spotted as I logged in to write this…
Half a million!!!! Thank you xxx

ReplyDeleteI need To buy a hot water bottle So I can make a really cute cover. My feet are always cold. Are you feeling any better?

ReplyDeleteYou should do a giveaway - or something. Like a hot water bottle and a cover. Since the US seems to have no hot water bottles to speak of.
I'm just saying.
So the real question is: can a princess feel the warmth of a hot water bottle through 30 mattresses??? I can't imagine anything more perfect!

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon xx Love the hot water bottle, although I can't imagine anything worse than a hot water bottle here at the moment - air conditioning would be much nicer!
