LAVENDER SACHETS

October 6, 2012 by Teje

Hello and Happy weekend to you! Now I can say that we have autumn and I love it! Early in the morning I woke up for the sound of the rain. Now it’s half cloudy half sunny, beautiful gentle and quiet day! Believe it or not, I’m still wearing shorts and sleevles! Yesterday I sat outside from the morning to finish the lavender sachets…

First I had made simple patchwork squares and then I made some stitching on the backside. Crochet flowers I had made earlier when I thought I shall make a lamp shade with white linen and sew the flowers over it. I don’t see that’s going to happen so ‘the light switched on’ and I add the flowers to these lavender sachets! They are even made with the same ‘Perle’ n:o 8 cotton thread as I made the stitching.

Because I like these to be also decoration and like a small cushions, I filled them with pillow filling and add three spoons Cretan lavender. Closing is sewn by hand, so it’s easy to open if someone likes to fill them again or wash them.

If you like to see some other crochet flowers I have made, click HERE. I still have the flower curtain in the bathroom, because I haven’t had time to make something nice enough to change it. And HERE are some other crochet flowers on Foxy’s pullover.

I made these lavender sachets especially for my ETSY SHOP, because soon we all are thinking about presents! Who can believe that before we even realize, it’s Christmas time?! These are so perfect gifts for everyone – beautiful, small, useful, easy to send, suitable for any age … quite cute!

All the items I send from my shop are gift wrapped. I enjoy making packets and gifts! As I make fabric things, I like to use fabric also on the packets. Colours and materials may vary depending my ideas! There is also a small gift card where you can write your wishes and messages.

Can you pick the little bird on the stone? I used the other half of my day for photographing and writing the listings. At the end I liked mostly the olden wood base … it is the cover from the wine barrel. I like so much those old barrels and their shabby grey colour! I’m lucky to have several old barrels in my garden. That furry ball is all that there is left from the Artichoke!

And now some other news:

Laura’s Blog Hop has began and there are already several guest post for that! It’s all about English Paper Piecing and travel photos – you remember! Click HERE to visit Laura’s blog and the site where you find the list for all the blogs participating! Today I saw for example beautiful Donkey cushion made by Erin at ‘Missy Mac Creations’!

‘Quilting Gallery’ has a weekly contest – as I think many of you know. This week the theme was ‘Made to little ones’ so I thought I just have to join with the ‘Baby Stars’ quilt! and I did … so please … if you like that quilt … could you please stop by and vote! There is a small change to win FABRIC! Voting is HERE - after all the quilt photos, you find the voting list and you can see also all the votes that every quilt already has. Thank you so much – I do appreciate if you have a moment for this!

I want to say big thank you for all my blog friends and readers! You are so amazing and important to me! Thousands of thanks again!!! My dear blog friend Carla from ‘Grace and Favour’, sent me an e-mail yesterday to tell me that she saw my ‘Baby Stars’ quilt and voted it! Thank you so much Carla for taking the time to vote and tell me about that! Without you I might have forgot all the thing because I had so many things and projects in my mind!

I think there are enough = too many links already for your weekend, so I leave you to enjoy them and have a wonderful weekend!
