How cute are these??? Fiberologie is going to be making these at "Whim-so-doodle" on Saturday, Jan. 29th, from 11-3. Location is 237 2nd Ave. S., St pete, Fl. Heart lavender sache, Wool heart with felt flower, and heart pin cushion. Just in time for Valentines Day....stop by...Alisha, Jen , Patsy and Karrie will all be there....

lavender bags....

I made lavender sache' for all the girls that I worked with @ Marion's this holiday season....the book had the idea....and I used some vintage linens that I have been saving. The linen works very well with it's open weave to let the scent escape. The little bird applique was made from the fabric "brighton" bags, that all the jewelry comes in. Then just added a little hand embroidery for the tree branch.....looks very "anthropologie"...

the homemade home

Here is a new book that I am loving....it has some great gifts to make that are thrifty and chic .....

Alisha will be teaching a beginning sewing class for fiberologie. She will be making the pillow that is featured on the cover.
