Now that I've established my Martha Stewart tendencies, I decided to attempt another craft this weekend. I've been wanting to purchase a few lavender eye pillows for my yoga classes (the few that I've done with friends preparing for my certification) but again, the cost just seems higher than necessary. So I decided to try and make some. Wanting something soothing and relaxing to use during Savasana (restful pose at the end of yoga), I opted for flax seeds and dried lavender flowers (soothing and relaxing in that order) inside a silky cotton material. Thank goodness my mother taught me to sew then I was small (though its been decades since I was back on a sewing machine). After a few ill attempts, I finally produced a few decent eye pillows. Above are two examples. I forgot how hard sewing can be with a machine! The smell alone is amazing... and with the combination of the flax seeds, I'm in love! I can't wait to teach my next class and be able to hand out these fabulous little slices of zen. They are definitely not "sale" quality but that's not what I intended. Yay for DIY crafts!
