After finishing the last quilt, I’m having a very difficult time, getting in the frame of mind to start another project.   I found this lovely wool and angora roving when we were cleaning out the closet, so  started spinning it.  It feels so soft and yummy.  I don’t even remember purchasing it, so it has been here for some time.

DH wanted a small pillow – about 6 x 9 – with sleeping herbs for night time.   This is what I came up with.  So when he wakes in the middle of the night, hopefully, he will relax enough to go back to sleep. The pillow contains a combination of lemon balm, hops, skullcap, chamomile, mugwort, and peppermint.    I found the ingredient list in an old herb book and put them together awhile back, so don’t have the exact amounts right now.  ( the corner is just bent under – it really is rectangular.)

And we can’t forget the sheep who love being under the maple tree when resting.  It must feel safe to them.
