Recycled Sweater Barn Mittens

December 8, 2022 by OurWrensNest Leave a Comment

Keep Your Hands Warm With a Recycled Sweater! Raising chickens we learned some things really quick. Chickens like to make a mess. Chickens seem to multiple on their own (chicken math). Barn chores can be both super fun, and tiring at the same time. Sooo much chicken manure. In the winter you need good gloves and mittens to keep your hands warm while tending to the flock! We learned very early on that it is good to have multiple pairs of gloves, all different kinds, and mittens are excellent for warming up quickly.

Lavender is so very hardy, has a wonderful calming smell, and the flowers are so beautiful. The last couple of years I was blessed with a large harvest of lavender flowers. The flowers are dried for various uses around the homestead. From soap to lotion bars to beeswax candles, the uses are many! A quick project I like to make with the dried lavender is lavender eye masks. This project sews up in less than 15 minutes, and you will be relaxing in no time!
