I have so much lavender in my garden, and I love finding ways to use it. Making a lavender eye pillow is a perfect fast project… and they make a wonderful homemade gift for friends. You’ll also want one or two for yourself of course. http://www.make-it-do.com/make-it/lavender-eye-pillows/

leather & wood trivets

Around this time last year, Grace, Amy and I went to check out the “McMasterpieces” show curated by Sight Unseen as part of NY Design Week. We loved these pieces by Alissia Melka-Teichroew ; they not only inspired one of our projects for last year’s summer newspaper, but they’ve been haunting me ever since. I love the look of the brightly colored dowels and thin strips of leather, so I decided to make another Alissia-inspired project today: these simple wood and leather trivets.
