Lavender pillows!

My mother's lavender bush in her back garden had grown to epic heights you couldn't actually get past it to get to the back of the garden! I decided it was time to trim it and pinch the lavender for myself so I managed to grab a bag full of the stuff took it home and dried it out!

I then made these :-

 The hearts are made of two hearts cut out of felt with buttons sewn on one side and a ribbon loop to hang them they are then stuffed with lavender. They smell lush!
And of course I couldn't just make one I had to make them in all the colours I could think of!

                                       Orange

                                        Pale Blue

                             Red

                          Turquoise

                               Purple

                                     Pink

                                    Green

                                and Navy

       I then made my friend this one she's just about to move into a new house and she's always dreamed of having roses around her front door so I embroidered them on for her, took me back to the years when I used to cross stitch haven't done a stitch like this for years!!!

 

I went back to my mother's yesterday to pick my son up and grabbed another massive bag full of lavender so once that's dried I'll be making more of these!

I was thinking of selling them for £2 each or three for £5 hopefully they will sell!

I have a massive load of felt I need to get through so I will be trying to find new things to make out of felt!

Near where I live there is a scrap store and it is amazing for £3 you can fill up a reusable shopping bag full of stuff and they have fabrics, stuffing for cushions, wool, thread and loads of paper and card, I even managed to pick up bubble wrap to help with packing everything for our big move at the end of October.

I really must start packing instead of making things!!!!
