lavender spray?

Hi,

I am wanting to make a lavender spray to spray the bedsheets when I make the bed... lavender helps me fall asleep and I think it would help hubby too...

Any ideas how to get the most out of my lavender and do this? I haven't the slightest idea how to go about it.

Thanks,
Janie

i couldn't find any recipes for lavender sprays, but these should have the same effect.

LAVENDER SLEEP PILLOWS/SACHETS.

Victorian ladies enjoyed lavender, turning their faces towards the sweet scent and inhaling it to calm their fluttering hearts.

For hanging from a headboard or putting under a pillow, you should make them with a inner cover of muslin and an outer cover of a pretty, washable material, hand sewn at one end for easy removal. Choose pretty cottons and silks to match the decor of the bedroom and edge them with lace or ribbon.


Ingredients
1 oz (25g) lavender flowers
4 bay leaves, crumbles
1/2 oz (15g) lemon thyme
1/2 oz (15g) sweet marjoram
2 tbsp rosemary
1 tbsp crushed cinnamon
1 tbsp orris root powder

If you feel that the scents of your pillows/sachets are not strong enough, 1-3 drops of essental oil may be added, one drop at a time and mixing well after each addition.

PERFUMING LINENS. - Lavender: a clean scent that deters moths and will protect clothes. Lay sprigs in drawers and chests or hang them in the airing cupboard.

IN THE DRYER - Martha Stewart tip: Add a Lavender Bag to your dryer when drying your linen and sheets. Can be used at least 25 times.

hope these help,

Thanks, Lil! I love the Martha Stewart stuff, what a fantasy to be able to do all that she does and implement her ideas...!

Kind of you to come up with these, they all sound lovely!
I can grow most of the stuff in my herb garden, too! Awesome!

Thanks
