Cotton is key! Other fabrics could melt or burn in the microwave!
How to make a #DIY #RiceHeatingPad
"I love simple yet useful sewing projects and these microwavable rice heating pads are a prime example. Terrible headaches and muscle aches in the neck area, all due to light cold have plagued me for years. Few years ago, my husband bought me an electrical heating pad and it helped a ton, but still, I’m reluctant to use it every time, just because I tend to fall asleep while using it and it’s a no-no according to the instructions. The solution was easy – a homemade rice heating pad. Now all I do it to fold it in half, pop it in the microwave for a minute or two and put it over the problem area to get a nice warmth that soothes the sore muscles and joints.
Supplies and tools
- Front fabric – 9 x 23”, 100% cotton
- Back fabric 9 x 23”, 100% cotton or soft cotton fleece
- 6 cups of uncooked rice for filling (you can also use other organic fillers such as corn, #beans or #flaxseed)
- cotton thread
- scissors (or rotary cutter and a cutting mat)
- ruler or measuring tape
- iron and ironing board
- sewing clips or pins
- sewing machine
- optional: essential oil (just a drop of your favorite) or few lavender buds will give your heating pad a pleasant aroma."Learn more [includes instructional video]"

It just hit me what a lovely plant Flax is. It's beautiful, both the plant and the flowers, you can make strong fabric and clothes with it, make rag-paper, seal pipe joints, protect metal from rust, make paint, protect wood from water, and it's nutritious, you can make oil for food or eat the seeds raw, they're tasty and prevent constipation. You can even make lube with it.

I bought golden #flaxseeds to eat to try to increase the omega-3 fatty acids in our diet. Now what?
Do you eat #flaxseed? How do you eat it? In what dishes? Do you grind it up first? If yes, how do you grind it?
