Resting the Eyes

The days are definitely getting longer and the sun is streaming through the windows earlier - which is wonderful because it means summer is getting closer all the time. But it's still cold enough to want to stay in bed that little bit longer... which is when handmade sleeping masks are called for.

So I decided it was finally time to update the stash of sleeping masks that we have around the house - and I took the opportunity to also make a new one for when I travel (I always have a special one that only gets a run when I'm travelling - its part of my routine to feel as comfortable as possible when on the plane!). These are great because they are super comfy, fully reversible and can be machine washed.






And an extra-large one for the guy who hates bright mornings (and doesn't mind robots)...




These have long been a favourite gift of mine to make for new mums or for anyone going on holiday, but I always like to have my own assortment at home as well. I had forgotten how fun and easy they are to make... so much so that I think I'll make up a little batch to give to guests when they come to stay...
