Self Heating / Heat Retaining Cushions by Paston Crafts

Well, it is all over now! Christmas is over. We are in to the New Year and it is no longer new. Even the mild spell is over and it is getting colder, so, as I say, it is all over now! Well, we can't do anything about Christmas and the New Year until December and 1st January 2014 but we can do something about the cold, or at least how it affects us.

Have you tried the Self Heating / Heat Retaining Cushions produced by Paston Crafts. They are absutely brilliant for keeping you warm. One thing I use them for is in my car. You know how cold the seats are first thing in the morning when the weather is cold and your windscreen is iced over - using one of these cushions to sit on really does make a difference.

There are so many other uses for these wonderful Heat Retaining Cushions I will tell you more in my next posts. In the meantime check it out and buy it at http://heritagepolish.com/shop/paston-crafts/heat-reflecting-cushion/prod_37.html

Incidentally, have you tried our "olleague" product Heritage Leathercare?

Heritage Lathercare cleans, polishes, protects and leaves a water resistant finish. Find out more about it by visiting www.heritageleathercare.co.uk or buy it online at http://www.heritageleathercare.co.uk/buy-leathercare/

I am feeling much better now, my leg is not as painful as it was. I really feel that my Microwarm Heatwrap has helped me. I hope to finish my floors off in the next few days. How are you getting on with yours?  Don't forget your Heritage Woodcare has many other uses, not just your floors. I will go over them in future posts.

Whilst I am talking about cleaning and getting ready for Christmas, have you tried our sister product Heritage Leathercare? This is so versatile and feeds, polishes, protects leather, is easy to use and is also colourless, whist leaves a water resistant finish. Check it out at www.heritageleathercare.co.uk.

Microwarm Heatwraps and Heritage Woodcare

How are the preparations going?  I am sad to say that due to the pain I am suffering in my knee, my preparations have ground to a halt. It is as much as I can do to just keep the routine tasks going. I will get my Paston Craft Microwarm Heatwrap out later this evening and start to use that. They are very good and do have a tried and trusted track record. For more information visit http://heritagepolish.com/paston.html 

Anyway, getting back to Heritage Woodcare, I wrote about a "new" use I have remembered for it on my sister blog http://www.heritagewoodcare.co.uk/blog Briefly whilst doing the preparations last week, I remembered that my cousin used her Heritage Woodcare to clean and shine the leaves of her succulents so whilst cleaning, I did the same. The plant looks much better now. Why don't you try it?

Using Heritage Woodcare to get ready for Christmas

Well, how have you got on?  Did you do your floor?  I have done my lounge floor but haven't yet done my hall floor.  I find doing the lounge is hard work these days but a only a few years ago I could have taken it in my stride.  It isn't  the cleaning of the floor that causes the problems, that bit is easy! No, what causes the real problems is pulling out all the furniture so that I can get undernath. Hey ho. That's what comes of getting older! I have also paid for it because  the arthritis in my knee is really giving me some gip today. Never mind, Rest and relaxation will cure it.

So, what is the next job? For me, as soon as my knee clears up, it will be the hall floor. This will be a lot easier a) because it is much smaller and b) because there is less furniture. Mind you, my wife has decided to rearrange the furniture to accomodate all the family but I can't see that affecting the work in the hall.

So, all that will be left to do will be getting the tree up and decorating it. That is one of the more pleasamt tasks.

Preparing for Christmas - using Heritage polish to clean and polish your wood floors

Well, I said I had a lot to say, having been absent for a few weeks, How are your wood floors? (nothing like being direct , is there?)  Are you ready for all those visitors you will get over Christmas?

To be truthful, I am not ready. I am hoping to be able to buckle down and get them done tomorrow (Saturday - I have to put that in as you know the old saying about tomorrow - it never comes!) So, bright and early tomorrow, when everyone else is in bed, I have promised myself that I will clean and polish my wood floors.

I have already done the hard work i.e. the preparation was done years ago, so all I have to do is sweep the floors and then mop them with Heritage Woodcare. The real hard work comes in moving all the furniture so that I can mop underneath. Having mopped, I then have to put all the furniture back!

In previous posts (e.g. see http://heritagepolish.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/how-can-i-remove-black-marks-caused-by.html  which tells you how to remove black marks caused by bitumen i.e. the preparation) I have also told you how to use Heritage Woodcare - visit http://www.heritagewoodcare.co.uk/how-to-use/ . The short cut I use on my floors, assuming the preparation has already been done, is to give my bottle a really good shake (as instructed by the manufacturer) pour a little on the floor, then take a squeegee mop (I keep one specially for my wood floors). move the mop around in the spill and then just mop till the whole floor has been done. As I say, the real hard work comes in moving the furniture!

Paston Crafts - Microwavable Microwarm Heatwraps and Handwarmers.

It is some time since I last posted. That's what comes of being ill!

There is so much I need to say so I will have to make several posts. Winter is knocking on the door so to speak, so it is, perhaps, time to take a look at the products made by Paston Crafts. Probably their best seller are their Microwavable Microwarm Heatwraps. These are stuffed with wheat and aromatic herbs and can keep you warm even in the coldest of weathers as I know from personal experience, having used them to keep warm when demonstrating at outdoor shows in winter.

Microwarm Heatwraps are microwaved for up to 3 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave. The heat is retained for up to 1 - 1.5 hours. The warmed heatwrap is then applied to aches and pains and this gives gentle heat treatment which is drug free pain relief. You can also use the heatwrap if you are cold and need to warm yourself up. They can also be used in bed as a "hot water bottle" and are safer than the conventional hot water bottle as you don't have boiling water around and they won't leak. water into your bed. I can really recommend them for this as I suffer from really cold feet and having a heated Heatwrap in bed to put my feet on is absolutely brilliant.

Paston Crafts Hand-warmers use the same principles as Heatwraps but are smaller, being designed for to be held in your hands. Bascally they are mini Heatwraps! These are microwaved for only 30 seconds and will retain heat for up to 30 - 45 minutes, longer if you insulate them by putting them in your pockets or gloves. Suffering from arthritis as I do, I find that using a heated Handwarmer to exercise my hands is very beneficial. They are also ideal for drug free relief from toothache and ear ache.

Both products can be bought online, visit www.heritagepolish.com/shop/paston-crafts/cat_3.html

Chairs Made From Discarded Wood Shavings Solve A Sustainability Conundrum

Well, whatever next! Chairs made fromwood shavings.Apparently two students, part of a group of students invited by the American Hardwood Export Council to develop wood chairs for the Michigan woodworking studio Benchmark, decided to pursue a design that would make use of the timber swept off the factory floor into the garbage. After some experimentation they finished with a chair that not only looked OK  but was usable.Well Proven Chair, which debuted at the V&A during London Design Week, is smooth and strong on the seat side, explosive and drippy on the bottom
