Handmade Lavender Pillows

Last summer, I bought scoops and scoops of dried lavender from my friend Audrey at 1824 Walker Farmhouse to make little lavender pillows. Not only do they smell wonderful, they are lovely to give as little presents.

The thought of reusing worn fabrics to make something sweet in this disposable world is very pleasing to me.

It can be as simple as an old quilt square, or slightly more detailed like the little rabbits I made from my neighbor’s 94 year old dad’s wool military blanket.

Those personal fabrics are my favorite to use.

When I open the drawer I placed one of the pillows in, seeing the little tuck brings thoughts of a loved one and happy memories.

To Make:

Piece of old quilt or fabric, cotton or linen is best
Dried Lavender
Little bit of fill
Needle and matching thread

  1. Cut the Fabric. To make one sachet, measure and cut two matching squares of fabric
  2. Align them with the sides you like facing inward.
  3. Sew three sides of the square together either using a sewing machine or needle and thread.
  4. Turn right sides out and fill with lavender, adding a little stuffing in the corners to give it a better shape if you like.
  5. Turn the open side’s edges under and slip stitch the opening closed.

Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today Sharing a little look inside my studio shed today since I kind of cleaned it up yesterday and now with starting a new project it will be a mess again very soon! I don’t know about you, but I love looking inside other people’s homes and work spaces (and garden too!) They call that being “nebby” in Pittsburgh. Hope you enjoy. Have a beautiful and blessed day friends 💙

P. S. That’s Juney on the bed and Lilikoi (aka Lily) and Alfie in the birdcage. I couldn’t think of their names when I was talking haha!

You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread You can bet that I’ll be making Irish Soda bread this week. I look forward to it every year. This is my go to recipe, which has vegan options (for my girl @lydia_tavoletti 💚). Seriously no one would guess that there are no eggs or dairy in it. It’s delightful and easy! Grab the recipe on my blog (link in bio and below)

Why I force myself to plant bulbs in the fall🌷🌷🌷
It is cooler today, but all the signs are showing that spring is on its way! #earlyspringflowers #cottagegarden #catsinthegarden
Slowly spring is coming into our living room with Slowly spring is coming into our living room with lots of plants, primroses and forced forsythia. I made a rabbit pillow for the sofa and am just delighted with how he turned out! 

On another note, this weeks shop update is being postponed for next Tuesday. It’s been a week of all the things, drs appointments, car problems, Dino’s sick… just enough blah for me not to have time to finish.  Look for lots of bunnies next week. I may even add a few of these rabbit pillows in different colors…what do you think?
