Scuff's Year of Gifting Homemade

Thank you craftymummy. i was just using the crochet as a removable cover to make them look pretty. Will buy some normal rice next time I go shopping.

There's a tutorial here for making wheat bags etc and it suggests that you should only use cotton for the interior bag to go in microwave. Lots of ideas for contents

You could crotchet your owl as an outer wrapper with velcro at base , then the removeable inner and a label saying "Important only heat the inner bag in your microwave for x minutes"

thats brilliant thank you. i was planning on puttng a note with them saying not to microwave the wool outer. looking at that i think i might make a teddy or something for the kids (not little kids) and have an opening at the bum for the heat bag. oooo all these idea's. :T

First present finished and given, was really worried she wouldn;t like it but it was well received so that made me

Next on the list is a papercut for my friend's 1st wedding anniversary. Need to go through my pinterest too and decide on things to make out of that - quite intrigued by the heat bags idea too, just need to find someone for it to be for!!

You have inspired me and last night I joined pinterest. I am following you too. I just need to get to grips with how it all works now.
