Warm Heart, Warm Hands!
/Sometimes my office is only a few degrees warmer than it is outside. When the weather forecaster said it was 3F, more like -7F with the wind chill, I knew it was time.
Opening the box carefully, I removed a gift from my sister-in-law; felted hand warmers with the cutest applique cats on the top.
Mary said she picked up a number of wool sweaters at a local thrift store and after washing them, put them in the dryer on hot. I have done so but not intentionally so it crossed my mind how many sweaters I could have repurposed.
Once shrunk, wool turns into a soft felt. Mary then cut a couple of holes for my thumbs.
She said they were easy to make; the biggest challenge was finding wool sweaters she liked. Well, it's more like finding wool sweaters she likes for hand warmers but doesn't want to wear herself. I understand, we have a hard time cutting up cute clothes for custom clothing quilts sometimes, too.
These live in a box because when I first received them, one of my cats left her own sleeping cats cat throw and decided to use these warmers as her napping spot.
We have reached a compromise. I’m now wearing the hand warmers; the cat is sitting in the box.
