Two in one day!!

I don't think I have ever written two blogs in one day, let alone within a couple of hours of each other

I need to show you my hot water bottle:

The last couple of nights have been chilly and I have needed my hot water bottle.  But it didn't have a cover - I wrapped it in an old t-shirt

So, I decided to kill two birds with one stone: make one and practise FMQ'ing on it (hence the very white cotton, so I could really see my results)

 I practised big swirly patterns

It was great practise and the stiches on the back even came out well!

And I tried to practise general 'stippling' FMQ'ing.  This needs much more practise.  I used this table runner of Emilys as to how it should look, and it doesn't

However, considering it took under an hour and no pattern, to do this, I am really really happy with it.  It will keep me toasty at night, its lovely fabric and the FMq'ing isnt too bad (although I know I need practise)

Jenny is just getting ready to go out to a friends 18th - I will be taking my toasty hot water bottle to bed and reading: it was a late night last night, although I won't really sleep properly until I know Jenny is home!
