I threw caution to the winds, and bought another. For me--worth it. Wish I'd known how to make one, though. I am printing it off for my home emergemcy kit info. Thanks. And yes, now that you mention it, Sariah, it does sound familiar. I just didn't remember.

She made it with a dish/hand towel and rice. It's sewn into two sections, and it's probably one of the best presents I have ever received! I have used it for normal aches and pains, for menstral cramps, for engorged breasts, for mastitis... it's my miracle bag. :) Ches received one from a student last year that has beans in it. I don't think it's a comfortable as the rice, but he loves it. And it has a slip cover, too. It's made from some really heavy-duty fabric... reminds me almost of drapery. So I don't know what it is. Anyway, no matter what it's made of, these homemade heating bads are just plain awesome!!!! :D I have a heating pad a friend made for me back when I was a newlywed.

Oh man! All I can do is type!! :) Funny that you wrote that subject line. that is me today too though I didn't sleep wrong. mine is achy joints and stiff neck. I need a full body eating pad. got a plan for those? :) have a great weekend! I sure hope you feel better Kel <strong>Hee hee - now that would be a heating pad - heh. :) If you are desperate and don't have the chance, time, or plain don't want to run to the store you can dump some rice in a ziploc freezer bag, heat it in the microwave for two minutes - leave it open to vent, and then stick it in a pillow case or wrap a towell around it (be sure to close the zippie of rice first ;) ). That's been working for me the last few days marvelously. Sorry you are sore too - it's the worst. Hope you have a great weekend and get over your stiffness quickly. :)</strong> You are amazing. when on earth do you have time to make a heating pad?? :( I plan to run to the store today or just suffer as I have no skills to make a pad.

I will definately be trying this out! Thanks! <strong>The gal who did the website I linked to is a nurse for a hospital and did a ton of research - She went so far as to outline price. If you buy a 40 lb bag of corn, which is what it usually comes to, and $4 a yard fabric the cost is like $1.20 a bag - and if you buy fabric off the bargain table at $2 a yard it is like $0.60 a bag. Crazy cheap! And I have loads of fabric laying around begging to be used. So hopefully people won't winde homemade gifts this year. And for what these people are selling them for at the mall and stuff - maybe I should go into business. ;) She even said how long it took - 7 hours to do 52 bags or something like that. Be sure to check out her site before choosing your filler - wheat runs a chance of drying out and causing a fire in the microwave, flax has a tendency to explode, etc. Her site was the most imformative I found. I won't be making that many and can have them done in a few hours and ship them off to family. Happy sewing and have fun!</strong> Yeah – I’m a sucker for these…. bought one at the mall last year w/ essential oils in it for Mom’s xmas present and spent a fortune.
