Sachets

I said I wasn't going to whine anymore about the heat, but......WHINE...100 again today, and more of the same tomorrow.  Still, I started a few furniture pieces over the weekend when the temps were a bit cooler.  I just have to finish them off.  Till then, I'll show you a few more little creations.





It all started with the heat. Being cooped up inside, I started playing with my scrap material.  I made pillows, and now I'm making sachets.



I used some of the material I transferred the french book page onto.  At first I was going to make another pillow, but decided to cut the material into smaller pieces, and make lavender sachets.



I added one of my lace flowers to one, and a ribbon flower to the other.  They both have tiny pearls in the center.  I'll be making more of these, cause I have a lot more scraps.

The box they're in was another little creation.  It's an old box I glued a thick strip of lace ribbon to.  I went over the whole thing many, many, times with gesso and paint. It's hard as a rock, and makes for pretty little storage.



I'm getting ready for my show at Kane County the first weekend of August.  I didn't do it in June, or July.  So, I'm going to be pretty busy, but I'll share as much as I can.  For all my blogland buddies I exchanged emails with concerning my health, I do feel better, and promise I won't overdo it this week.  Love ya.

  1. Sachets are very sweet and the box is wonderful. You have my permission to whine away at the heat. 104 in Nebraska today. More of that to come, weatherman says. Enough already!

  18. Thankfully, it's cooled down a bit where I live, but I dealt with the 100 degree weather last week. Sorry you're still dealing with it. I know how miserable it is, so whine away. I really like your cute sachets. That fabric is wonderful, and the sachets are beautiful with the embellishments.

  25. Hi Rosemary! I just love your sachets and the little box. That lace looks familiar. ;) Got my order in the mail today. Thanks for the bonus! Missed you at the last flea market but it was so stinkin' hot it's probably a good thing you skipped that one. Hopefully August will be better.
