Lavender Eye Pillows - the search for the perfect measurements!

I don't know about you, but when I am stressed out or can't sleep a lavender eye pillow is the first thing I turn to. I have at least 3 in my possession at all times. I always, always travel with one and an eye mask and sleeping pills (a last resort).

So I am beginning to make them for sale and am trying out different measurements and ways of making them. The result? Two very cheap decent lavender eye pillows! See my Etsy store: http://www.badgalquilts.etsy.com.

I am much closer to understanding what will make the perfect eye pillow - what dimensions, how much "stuffing" to add, what ratio, and how to make it as comfortable as possible. There will definitely be more added to my store soon.

And in other exciting news I am beginning a new quilt - a Queen size! My friend has commissioned me to make her a Summer quilt and we are choosing very cool, mod-themed fabrics centered around a lime/blue colored "In Crowd" that I just nabbed off ebay. Yes! More on that soon too.

Lavender and Chamomile Eye Masks and Sachets

I just made my first lavender and chamomile eye masks recently for a friend who bought some for her mother's birthday. And, if I do say so myself, they smell GREAT. I'm waiting to get some satin-silk fabrics in that I ordered from China and then I will make more. They sit nicely on the eyes and smell incredible. I tested one out when I finished and wanted to take a nap posthaste. If you have trouble sleeping, or just want to relax, I suggest getting one.

I'm also making lavender and chamomile potpourri and sachets for the draws. Cedar potpourri and sachets to come.

Fun!
