Creative Day 18- creating a monster!

I think I have created a monster. A very sweet and thoughtful monster, but a monster nonetheless. Why? We were wandering Chadstone for an outing (its cheap if you don't buy anything) and Alexander suddenly was very worried. Claire has left he blurted out. After some discussion on the alarm, he explained that Claire was a student teacher completing her rounds at kinder, and was due to finish - he was worried she had left already. I explained that she wouldn't just finish without saying goodbye - but this wasn't his issue. "We have to give her a present!" he protested. Okay, so this was the issue. Lucky I found this out at Chaddy, what do you want to get her. Oh no mum - we have to MAKE her something.
At home, (after a quick call to the kinder teacher to confirm the information) I decided on a kinder recovery pack with a simple rectangular heat pack for relieving her stress, and some hand and foot lotions that were in the present cupboard. Alexander helped sew and stuff the heat pack and he drew the 'thanks' card himself. I used calico for the inner pocket of the heat pack and sewed six even pockets to it which were filled with linseed and lavender oil. This means it is not to thick or heavy but still does a good job. Then I made a pretty outer cover which is sewn over it without the sections showing. It all came up pretty well really.
