Harvest our lavendar (read all 2 entries…)
Epic success!

I went outside with shears today to harvest the lavender. I had to dodge the bees, but it wasn’t too scary. I cut as much as I could. I tied string around the bouquet and put it in a flower vase to dry. Once it is dried out I intend to put the lavender in homesewn sachet bags. Yay! Here is a photo of the lavender I harvested!

My latest bunch sparkles

Here are a few more lovely vintage pieces. I have started wearing one every day as well. It makes me smile to know I am wearing someone else’s favorite pin from long ago.



Sew 15 critters.
A Dozen!

I have sewed a dozen critters. Seven large, five small. Sewing is soothing. Try it!
