A sweet little handmade gift

Photo from Flamingo Toes
 How about a little project you might be able to work on at the beach, or at the very least on the porch or patio with a lemonade or iced tea within reach?  These Sweet Lavender Sachets from Bev at Flamingo Toes would make a  nice little gift or stocking stuffer.

The fabrics Bev has used are lovely and perfect for summer.  But one could also use Christmasy fabrics as well.  Bev also suggests using other fragrances besides lavender, and I think Balsam fir would be particularly nice for Christmas.  In case you didn't save last year's Christmas tree needles for this purpose (and really, very few people would) you can actually buy Maine Fir Balsam Tips
 from the Kittery Trading Post in Maine.   You can get a whole pound of them for $13.99.

Have fun with this sweet craft idea!

    Balsam fir would be excellent for Christmas. You could tuck some of these in the branches of an artificial tree to bring the scent of a real one.

      Oh, that's a wonderful idea! We always used to get real trees but have gone to an artificial one. The main thing I miss about a real tree is the scent. This would be a perfect solution.
