Did you catch Craft Night With Kimberbell on December 11, 2025? Kim and Cassie were each given a specific challenge: to reimagine the Let it Snow Pillow (Cassie) and the Otterly Cozy Rice Warmer (Kim).

Once again, they hit it right out of the park!

Cassie's Project: Let it Snow Pillow 

Original

Reimagined

Cassie's Pro Tips

• Have fun mixing and matching the designs from Let it Snow and Enchanted Winter!
• For extra dimension, you can add real buttons and stick arms to the snowman.  

Kim's Projects: Otterly Cozy/Boo-Boo Bear

Original

The Otterly Cozy Rice Warmer Project Kit includes the design files and fabrics you need to create a darling otter cover and a rice bag insert to slip inside. 

Reimagined

Now, the original project is absolutely wonderful as is. But I think it's safe to say that Kim had a really fun time making THREE new cuddly critters!

Bridger's Otter

Let's take a look at how Kim changed the otter as a gift for her nephew, Bridger. (To see how, please watch the video and go to the 17:17 mark.)

Kim's Pro Tips (Otterly Cozy + Heart Applique)

First, Kim used the Heart Applique 1 design (available HERE), decreased the size, and replaced "Love you forever" with "Bridger." (See her tips & notes on the image below!)

Purple Otter

But the fun didn't stop there. Kim also decided to make a version with purples, pinks, and a beautiful bow! (To see how, please watch the video and go to the 26:13 mark.)

Kim's Pro Tips (Purple Otter + Bow Applique)

For this one, Kim used the Bow Applique (available HERE) to replace the kerchief. She also made this a stuffed animal, not a warmer. (See her tips & notes on the image below!)

For her final project, Kim decided to use the Polar Bear design from the Feeling Festive Bella Box from 2024. (The box is sold out but the digital files are available for purchase!)

Original Polar Bear 

Like the Otterly Cozy project shown above, the Polar Bear is also a rice warmer and is absolutely darling as is. (Note: The file comes in two different sizes!)

Reimagined Boo-Boo Bear

For this one, Kim wrote and added a cute little poem to stitch on the bear. (To see more, please watch the  video and go to the 32:35 mark.)

Kim's Poem

And here's a close-up shot of Kim's darling poem! She paired her Boo-Boo Bear with the Hush Little Polar Bear board book (linked above). What could be a better gift? 

Andes Mint Cookies

Now, if you watched Craft Night With Kimberbell, you'll know that this episode concluded with another yummy recipe made by our very own Abby!

Here's the Andes Mint Cookies recipe: https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/andes-mint-cookies/

The best part about Abby baking for Craft Night is that she shares her cookies with us the next day. These cookies are YUMMY and I'm more than happy to taste test!

To see Abby make her cookies, go to the video and to the 43:23 mark. 

Well, friends, I hope you're feeling inspired by these ideas! Here's the video again, just in case you don't want to scroll up to the top . . .
