Friday Feature: Amber Rude

Amber and I have been friends since 8th grade. That's 14 years! We spent summer days floating in her pool, dancing, singing and scrapbooking. So I am proud to present this nifty little thing she calls a rice buddy.

When I asked Amber to describe herself and her craft she said:
I'm 28 and have been crafting for about 15 years. I work in the surgery department at the local hospital. 

What do you make handmake?

Rice buddies...which are Rice filled fabric pouches in different sizes. They can be heated up for a hot packpack or put in the freezer for a cold pack. I have made my rice Buddies for many friends and co-workers. And they love them. They come in handy on cold nights or when you have joint or muscle pain. 

How long have you been a crafter? Where/ how did you learn?

I've been craftng since 8th grade. I started out scrapbooking. 

What do you enjoy most about your hobby?

The outcome. I love seeing them finished.

What is your favorite piece you've created?

 My jumbo rice buddy...I heat it up and use it everyday. 

Check out that mustache print!

I was rather excited when Amber's new creation popped up on my Facebook news feed. I immediately put an order in for a medium sized rice buddy. She chose a pretty purple and blue paisley fabric and I chose a lavender scent, which releases when heated. She did such a great job choosing a pattern for my rice buddy but you can always request a pattern. Both R and I use my rice buddy for aches, pains, cramps, etc. It is rather soothing.

You can find Amber here. I think she'd be more than happy to make a one of a kind rice buddy for you or someone you love.

Thank you for your time Amber!

Keep Loving.
