Faux Chenille Baby Blanket – TUTORIAL Creating a faux chenille blanket tutorials wasn’t really on my to-do list. But then so many of you asked for it…how could I not?? I’ve been sewing these for about 5 years and have shared the directions (cryptically) with a few friends through email over the years. So I’m glad that it’s all written down in a step-by-step process now. For a while, faux chenille blankets were my go-to gift for a baby shower. Layers of cotton fabrics are sewn into rows and rows of diagonal lines and then cut and washed to create a faux chenille look. These blankets are great for snuggling and also work as a playmat, while baby rolls around with toys. I first shared Lucy’s baby blanket with you, that I sewed 4 years ago. And though I didn’t have a baby in mind when making this new blanket, I went for a rainbow of colors and love the happy, cheery vibe. I must point out that like most quilting, this blanket takes a while to make. Ready to jump in?? Ready, set, break!

christmas prezzies 6 + 1 for you! | kleio's belly For years, my Grandma Annie and Aunt Ruth would give me those crocheted hanging dishtowels every Christmas, so they hold a special place in my heart. The hanging dishtowels you find at craft fairs tend towards the “country kitchen” style, so when my mom said that she had seen some fabric ones and thought it would be a great Christmas gift, it seemed like a good opportunity to make something more contemporary. I played dumb and told my mom to snap a picture of the one she had bought so I could see what she meant, but I went ahead and designed my own. It was funny on Christmas Eve day when I arrived at my parents’ house and saw the hanging dishtowel she had purchased in the kitchen. “Oh, so that’s what you meant,” I said, “I wish you had remembered to send me a picture.” Darn. I have a couple of friends who are learning to sew, so I’m drawing up some simple patterns of the things I make. Preparing the dishtowel: 1. 2. To make the handles: 1. 3. 6. Assemble and finish: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The frugal heating pad. - Surviving and Thriving | Surviving and Thriving Recently our heater went on the blink. The heating company that DF prefers wasn’t able to give us an appointment for almost two weeks – unless, that is, we wanted to pay extra for an after-hours visit. Nope, we didn’t, even though temperatures dropped into the mid-20s at night and only into the high 40s during the day. Nothing froze. And when I wasn’t? The rice sock, also known as “the frugal heating pad,” made all the difference in the world. Rice, rice baby It’s a pretty simple to make: Pour raw rice onto a sock or a cloth bag, tie it shut and microwave it until it’s very warm. Rice isn’t the only possible medium. Last year, shortly before I moved back to Alaska, a severe windstorm knocked out the power in Anchorage. The fireplace insert blazed then, too – with a clay baking dish atop its ledge. Back in the day people used live coals inside a warming pan to heat their sheets. DF and I keep each other warm, but we did recently treat ourselves to flannel sheets.
