It's a good thing I sleep alone

Post by Bonnie » Tue Dec 06, 2005 1:03 pm

A few years ago I purchased some lightweight washable insulated fabric for a project put on hold. Seeing as I am experiencing rainout, (well actually just a drizzle,) I thought I'd put this fabric to use and design a cozy for my hose. What you see is just a rough design to see if it works before I put a lot of time and effort into constructing the real deal. The second picture shows the a metaltic silver insulating fabric with a soft flannel backing. I cut two strips and fastnened them to the hose with Christmas curling ribbon.(sort of looks like a candy cane, festive for this time of the year) It's very flexable and soft. I'll use it for a few nights and if it proves worthy I will then construct a more permanent, removable cozy.

And, yep, that's my Swift hanging with fuzzy handmade cheek pads.

The temporary construction is perfect for Christmas with that candy cane look.

...just what I've been thinking recently -
in my case it's a very yellow scarf wrapped around part of the heaeted, hose a very red sock around the Breezes hose, and the blue Breeze dangling on the end...

it's a good thing I sleep with my eyes closed as well.

That candy cane is great for Christmas!
I can't wait to see your easter version!


Creativity is a very good thing to have when dealing with CPAP.
