This weekend passed quickly in a flurry of activity. One of the things that kept me busy was sewing up eye pillows--I think I may be addicted. I've got a stash of fabric scraps along with some vintage fabrics and thrifted sheets that were just calling out to be sewn into eye pillows. And so I heeded the call...
I've also stocked up on lentils, flax seeds, and lavender, which makes the house smell so fresh and calming.
I made one eye pillow for keeping, a couple for giving, and several for selling in my etsy shop (look for them later this week!). I've been using mine every day, and it is so relaxing. The light, cool weight of the lentils and the soothing sweet scent of lavender makes me feels miles away from all of the things on my to-do list. The eye pillow is a great way to take a little break!
I'm giving away this pink and blue eye pillow. It's made from soft vintage pink flannel, blue flowered sheets, and pink gingham. It's filled with lentils, flax seeds, and lavender.
Because I'm not quite sure about international shipping laws regarding seeds and things, this contest is open to US residents only. If you live outside of the US, I'm sorry! I'll have another giveaway open to everyone soon.

ReplyDeleteCrocheting is a relaxer for me. It takes the stress out of life. I also enjoy gardening when I'm able. I'm already one of your followers and I hope I win!

I love your eye pillows! To relax - I love to listen to This American Life alone in the dark. I lay on the bed and shut my worries out by listening to other people's stories.
ReplyDeleteOH HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!
Cute indeed.
ReplyDeleteTo relax...a glass of wine and good music.
I follow w/ Google Reader.
I definitely could use a good eye pillow -- especially one made with vintage sheets (my passion, you know). And how do I unwind -- with a little crocheting, of course!
ReplyDeleteAfter the kids are settled and hubby is off to work, I sit in the dark in my rocking chair and listen to my iPod!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway. I made myself one and it disappeared to my daughter's room. I made another one and it disappeared in my husband's travel suitcase and I haven't gotten around to making another one!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't ever get enough of these guys in the wintertime--eyepillows, bedwarmers, tummy soothers--you name it! I'd love to win this!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm also subscribing to your wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteHI! just found you through vintage swap! i've added you to my blog roll. i've never made one of these, but the lavendar sounds heavenly!
ReplyDeleteYeah for giveaways! To relax, a glass of wine doesn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway...thank you for your generosity! My idea of a relaxing evening is curling up with a book and a glass of red wine after all of the kids are peacefully drifting into sleep.
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet giveaway. To relax, when I come home after taking my dear girl to school, I make a fresh coffee, toast a piece of rye and add lots of blackcurrant jam and curl up on the sofa with my knitting for a good 1/2 hour before I begin the day. Very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI do lots of things to unwind....read, knit, nap, watch a movie....and look at cool websites and blogs! :) Mostly after 8:30, when my kids are in bed! love the eye pillow.
ReplyDeleteI just joined as a follower....

To relax and unwind I like to puzzle, it's quite therapeutic, actually. But busy life with children means it's usually a matter of lying on the coach in the evening...
ReplyDeletea lady like me could use something like this! I hope I win!
