Winter's End

The weather seems to be trying out "winter" today, after a few weeks of what definitely felt like spring. The boys woke up early and are drinking hot chocolate out of sippy cups. I have my mug of tea and just saw a flock of geese flying south in a perfect V formation. I am actually relieved to feel the cold air - I wasn't quite ready for spring yet. I made this batch of sachets in icy winter colors - just in time for winter's end. Get yours in the shop.

Midweek business

Happy day-before-Thanksgiving everybody! I'm excited to start cooking, how about you? Yesterday I listed a few new sachet sets in the shop (think stocking stuffers, teacher gifts...) and tried my hand at a festive new banner (let me know what you think). I also bought two doll patterns, one knitting pattern, and some yarn in preparation for making Christmas gifts. I think I might have gotten in over my head, but what the heck. I'll keep you posted on how those projects go (except for the ones that are for people who read this blog... those ones I'll have to save for after Christmas). And in case I get too wrapped up in cooking brussels sprouts, chatting with family, drinking cider and figuring out where on earth to put our Christmas tree, I'll wish you an early Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for!

Lavender

The please-finish-me pile is growing smaller, and the shop is being restocked. Go check it out!

Goodbye favorite scraps...

See this darling turquoise fabric with tiny orange and white flowers on it? Isn't it DARLING?!?! I've had a last tiny piece of it living in my scrap stash waiting to be used and it finally made its way into a set of sachets. You can buy it here. Of course, I made one extra sachet for myself, too. :)

Mission: Lavenderize

I've decided that I want my entire house to smell like lavender. It is possibly the best scent ever - so clean and out-doorsy. Plus, it reminds me of my grandma which makes it even better. I recently received a new batch of lavender from Popko, who sells the greatest stuff in her etsy shop, and I've been making sachets like crazy. I'm putting them in my linen closet, hanging them in my own closet and putting them in my drawers. I'm working on a new batch of dryer sachets too - have you made yourself some yet? You'll be glad you did - they're pretty great! There are some new sachets in my shop - I saved the really pretty ones for you. :)
