I guess I’m getting old, sigh. I’ve had ongoing back pain, and was recently diagnosed as having arthritis in my back, sigh again.
Although it’s much better now, thank goodness, I’ve spent much of the last month semi-permanently attached to a hot water bottle.
So, in the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, I thought I needed a pretty hot water bottle cover.
I’m quite pleased with this, especially making it “from scratch” without a pattern to follow. I wanted to use some of my stash of Rowan Cotton Glace. Blue is really not a colour I work with very often, but I think this works.
Do you like the button flower? I think, if I’m not very careful, I could become ever so slightly obsessed with buttons. 🙂

It’s gorgeous! I want it. Are you sure you need it? Lol
Haha! Well, hopefully I won’t be needing it for too long 🙂
I like it I do … and you can’t go past a hot water bottle for creature comfort when we have a little pain in the body … Beautiful work!!
I love your hotwater bottle cover; it looks really cosy, and the colours and flower are very attractive! I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being obsessed with buttons – I am, and have been since I was a child. I have quite a stash of them! =D
Thankyou! Phew, I’m glad someone else has “button issues”. I just recently bid on a whole box of old buttons at a charity auction … no such thing as too many.
great idea, it is gorgeous and will keep it warmer for longer. Sad for your diagnosis, our bodies are such fragile things aren’t they?
Thankyou, it certainly does stay warmer for longer – nearly all night in fact. Yes, I’m starting to realise that we really do need to look after our bodies. It’s not too late, hopefully!
Cute blog, and thanks for visiting mine! Love the bottle cover too 🙂
xo,

This made me so happy (not your pain, but the beautiful colours)when I opened this post……gorgeous! x
Thanks so much Lisa, and your comment made ME happy! 🙂
It’s beautiful, such happy colours and I love the button!
I would love this pattern I have a curve in my spine so have frequent back ache and inn need of a hot water bottle on a night time. Would be very appreciated x
