.....and I made a rice bag! Well, two actually. We have an MSU themed one that I think Adam's Mom got for him, but it's a tube and not really useful for backs or other wide areas (like my ass) so I had been meaning to go to Joann Fabrics and get some fabric for a wider one.
Then Saturday after a five hour rehearsal Friday night, I awoke to muscle soreness in my back (new!) and a pulled hamstring (which I knew about 10 minutes into the rehearsal). Then my procrastination at getting material became a serious lack in judgement. As I'm laying there, I think WAIT! I have a ton of left over material from my previous projects! Why get new material when I have some I can use already?!? So I stumble my way out of bed and picked out a purple handkerchief print I used to make my shoulder bag (and my lunch bag) that I had purchased the rest of the bolt because it was half off (and I loved it!) I cut out a big section and started sewing.
We didn't have any rice. And I had to go to rehearsal with Jenny.
Sigh. My heated relief had to wait. There was an upside though - the driver's seat in the car is heated! So that held me over.
I rehearsed with Jenny and I went to the store to get rice.
Lee had a pillow she wanted me to fix, so after I did that, we sat and chatted whilst I finished my first rice bag! I haven't seen her in weeks, so I was really glad we could hang out for a little while. She's graduating in a few weeks and moving out of state so we have to get our happy visits in while we can - flights are expensive, even within the U.S.
Anyway, I only made one with Lee there and I made the second one much faster after we watched The Kids Are Alright (I'll write about the movie later). I was planning on doing a tutorial for those who wanted to make their own when I made the second one, but I forgot. Ooops, sorry! So I will make more and remember to make a tutorial the next time! I have all kinds of material and rice is cheap :-)
And now you're probably wondering what does 1700 points have to do with rice bags? Well, nothing. But, I use MyView Survey to earn points towards rewards and I am 1700 points away from a $25 Gift Card from Amazon which I am ridiculously excited about! Then I get can some of the things on my Amazon Wish List! I have too many things I want, and sometimes I hate that about me. But I also really want to expand my sheet music library, book collection and I need heavier weights and a heart rate monitor for when I'm doing P90X. But the fact that I have four lists separated into "categories"kind of irks me. Ugh.
Anyway, I only need to do 1 1/2 more full surveys to get the gift card and I can't wait! Woo!!
**EDIT** I now only need 850 points :D
