Lavender bags and lavender cookies

This week, we have been working on sewing little lavender bags to place in our clothes drawers. Sol has really taken to sewing, with a little help once in a while.  Leo and Noah enjoyed spooning the dry lavender flowers into the bags.

We also made lavender cookies using this recipe.  Tasty!
