I saw this wonderful craft on the blog Magic Onions the other day. With the  many stormy nights of no-sleep as of late, I knew that a rendezvous with my sewing machine was in order. And quick.

It is simply a piece of felted cashmere sweater, purchased for only $1 at the thrift store, a wee bit of thread, and the luxurious scent of lavender buds and dried rosemary. I took the liberty to alter the blog pattern and needle felted wool roving figures onto the front of each pillow. A red car for Mini Mister and a pink piggy for Little Miss.  Inside each supremely soft cashmere pouch is a muslin bag filled with rice, buds, and herbs. When the buds and herbs have given all their scent we can replace them. The side of the pouch fastens with Velcro.

Just before bedtime stories we warm the soft sweet scented pillows gently in the microwave and hug them as we drift off into a lavender dream land.
