It’s the time of year when everything has moved indoors and the windows
are staying firmly shut against those grey skies. The more time I spend
puttering around the house, the more I want everything to smell lovely
to help combat those winter blues. I’ve been making my own chai mix on
the stovetop and that tends to do the trick downstairs, but upstairs
it’s a no-man’s land of bunnies and ever damp towels. SO, I decided to
make some lavender and cedar sachets to tuck into drawers and hang on
doorknobs and hangers in my closet.

Ever since Kim and Jenny K taught me to crochet a few weeks ago, I’ve been on a roll! I’ve hardly put the hook down.

I grabbed some scraps of Brava Bulky
in Black, White and Dove Heather and made a few Granny Squares to make a
pillow! The squares are all done and ready to be attached – I’ll just
have to pester Kim again next week to show me how to put them all
together. I’ll sew a pillow base with some of the beautiful fabric from Connecting Threads…
