Growing up my mom used to make little beanbag pillows that she filled with raw rice, or raw beans and essential oils or lavender. When you put them in the microwave and heat them up, they become little heating pads. I didn’t have time to put anything in this one yet, but I intend to fill it with rice and lavender and then hand sew the seam shut and give it to my mom as a gift. I chose to do two different colors because it is more visually interesting that way. The colors are still muted and soothing though which go with the vibe of a relaxation pillow.
