If you are like me, you are no stranger to cold hands in the wintertime. Despite my mittens and gloves my hands just have the most difficult time warming up. I also have been known from time to time to dash out to the chicken coop forgetting my gloves. One way that I try and fight the cold weather is by carrying these darling pocket warmers in my coat. With some felt, dried lavender and rice, you too can make these. I think they make a perfect gift for Valentine's Day. Click here for my DIY instructions over on HGTV Garden.
Thank you so much everyone for linking up last week. It was so much fun seeing the blog hop almost grow to 100 friends! I am looking forward to all that you share this week. Feel free to link up to three of your posts, so folks can get to know you better. Tell me about your stories, crafts, cooking, baking, homemade creations, talents, animal keeping and the like.

Your pocket hand warmers are so cute! I need some of those. Yesterday I checked for eggs and found one hen sitting on a couple. I picked them up and they were so warm, so they were like nature's hand warmers!
ReplyDeleteI linked up my post with some chicken portraits this week. Thanks for hosting, Melissa!
Thank you for the email reminder about your link party! You are very clever.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your hand warmer idea!!!
So cute - and a great gift to send to my kids in college. Thanks for sharing (and hosting)!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of putting lavender inside them, Melissa! I have made them before as muscle relaxers, but never thought to add flowers. Adorable for Valentine's Day. I'm thinking: teachers' gifts!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and keep that shovel handy...I think we're going to need it again! :/

Such a fun, quick project!
ReplyDeleteHi Melissa! Ugh, I think I re-shared last week's Trash to Treasure post without realizing I already shared! That's what I get for trying to do too many things at one time! Feel free to delete it if you need to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great party!

ReplyDeletethose are super cute. I have made owl hand warmers for my kids. Please consider sharing here: http://repurposemylife.com/re-purposed-ideas-weekly-22-caught-ya-good-jar/
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of using rice inside them, Melissa! I used to make neck warmers using whole corn and while they retained heat well, the whole house and I smell like a movie theater lobby after use! lol
