Early Summer Mornings - Eye Masks

Ok, so it's not actually Summer in Australia yet (horrifying thought) but in Brisbane it is getting up to 33C degrees, that's 91F with very high humidity. The sun is rising awfully early. Just before 5am today and it brings with it a huge amount of heat. It awakens you like a slap in the face sometimes. It really does.

Anyway, my sister asked me this morning if I knew anywhere to get eye masks that she could wear during the night to stop her waking at 5am every morning as the sun comes up. Her new bedroom doesn't have heavy curtains and she can't replace them so eye masks were a brilliant idea. Then I realised that I'm actually capable of making eye masks, and would she like me to make eye masks and she said "yes!"... so I made them.

Is it just me or is there something unbelievably quaint about eye masks? They're adorable!

I got the eye mask pattern out of the most adorable little homewares book, Sew Pretty Homestyle. Actually, I totally forgot I owned that book until today which is maddening because last week I bought a pattern for women's slippers and this book has one! If only I'd known!

Now, may I never have to type eye masks again. Because it's tricky for my fingers to type "masks" and because it's a weird sounding phrase. It truely is. Say it a few times and it ceases to make any sense. Hehehe. It could also be that I over think things.

Yours,
