smells like quiet

I’m thankful for neighbors, needlework, quiet days, and the way lavender smells!

Yesterday we had a very bad family emergency. I won’t go into details, I don’t even want to think about it anymore. Everyone is going to be fine, we are all still quite emotional and I have a few physical side effects to deal with but thankfully it is a new day. Sorry to be vague, trust me, it was just BAD!

We are having a sweet day of quiet, it has been very dark and rainy which just adds to the comfort and coziness of being home doing things you love. I finished up my lavender pillow using some of my grandmother’s old buttons, you can see the lavender through the shimmery fabric on the back.  I cut a new batch of flowers to fill another similar pillow using this Little House piece I stitched quite a while ago. It will probably take the lavender at least a week to dry before I can use it.

    The pillow looks great … I think your other piece will make a great pillow as well once you have the dried lavender.

    Hope everything is alright … praying that you heal quickly from the physical side effects.
