Wow an order

I am feeling chuffed today, have an order for 36 rice bags, sure it means work but it means money also and that will sure come in handy at the moment. It is all thanks to my wonderful son in law Rick. I made some rice bags for him a few years ago and he works in a timber mill. Here in Myrtleford it is very cold in the winter when they start work probably around minus 3 or minus 4. So he was showing his off to his mates and they all want one and even asked could I make smaller ones for their hands. Now why rice bags and not wheat bags you say? well it all came about a few years ago. I have Coliac disease which is an allergy to wheat, rye, barley oats and malt. And I belong to an online group. A friend on that group almost swallowed some wheat when her wheat bag developed a hole and she squeezed . So I came up with the idea of filling them with rice. It seems this is also a more hygienic way also and I sold heaps then. haven't made any since and now looks like my market is taking off again. So why am I sitting here telling you well I wanted to tell someone and who else but my blog friends if I have any . Now have just remembered I am supposed to be cooking soup for lunch and it is 11 am not dressed and no soup on. Have cut out the bags will go put the soup on and then it is back to the machine......Hugz till next time
swallowed
