Make yourself a couple of microwave mitts. Do you have any pure lavender, or lavendar oil? Place your hand on a piece of newspaper. Trace around it keeping the thumb close to your fingers. You're going for the general size and shape. Next, add an 1 1/2" for ease all around and seam allowance. Find a scrap piece of fabric and cut a top and bottom left hand and a top and bottom right hand. You'll need a double layer of fabric for the top and bottom linning fabric. Place two layers of the lining on top of the wrong side of the fabric for top then next comes the bottom (right side facing the right side of the top) then two more layers of linning. Stitch around and turn. Treat 2 cups of dry rice with 10 drops of lavender oil, or use dried lavender about 1/4 cup. Dibide the mixture into fourths and put and equal amout into each side of the mitts. Top stitch the ends shut. Microwave on high for 45 sec. Slide hands into mitts and relax. The rice can be reheated many times. Just don't heat it too long at any one time or you'll burn it.
