Handmade Scented Rice Sachets

Do you like to make a little something for you friends, sister, or mom for Valentine’s Day?  These little heart sachets are perfect for just that.  You’ll never guess what’s in them…just don’t eat it!  You can make them any size you want and you only need a few things to make them – find the full tutorial here!

In other news…friends, I finally got my sewing machine out.  Since we have moved into this little apartment, there has been no where for me to sew.  You could say I have been a little hard to live with :) .  So after reading a post I wrote years ago, I took matters into my own hands.  I went down to Lowes, bought myself  a little folding table and chair.  I am sure when my husband gets home I will hear “you bought another table”.  I am thinking having a happy wife for the price of a movie and popcorn will be worth it – at least that is what I will tell him!

So stay tuned!  I am so excited, I have so many things I can’t wait to share. Also, thank you so much for all the pictures I have been receiving of projects you have made from my tutorials.  It quite literally makes my day.  Keep them coming!

Talk soon, I am off to get some sewing finished!
