Mother's Day Tea Bag Lavender Sachets

To my children,

If I had to choose between loving you and breathing. . .

I would use my last breath to tell you. . .

I love you.

Happy Wednesday, sweet friends!

It's hard to believe April is coming to an end

and May will be here before we know it

Along with May comes the joy of celebrating Mother's

or motherly role models on Mother's Day.

Since Mother's Day is less than 3 weeks away

I thought I would share a fun and easy tutorial

for lavender sachets that are perfect to give on Mother's Day.

Supplies needed:

scrap fabric

stamps

ink

dried lavender

embellishments

The reason these sachets are called "Tea Bag Lavender Sachets"

is simply because they are in the shape of a tea bag.

Cut two pieces of fabric that are 

4 1/2-inches long and 3-inches wide.

Fold the two piece of fabric in half

and trim the corners as seen in the picture below.

Your fabric should look like this

Stamp a sweet message or picture

onto some white or cream cotton fabric

and then cut out the message.

Sew the stamped piece of fabric 

onto the front side of the sachet.

Tuck a loop of lace or string 

between the two pieces of fabric at the top,

then pin the fabric together.

Sew along the edges

and leave a small opening at the bottom

so you can add the dried lavender.

Add the lavender

and sew up the closing.

You can add whatever embellishments you want, my friends.

You can see I adorned my sachets

with fabric and lace flowers along with pretty little beads.

Easy peasy and ever so sweet.

The older I grow,

the more I realize that my mother

is the best "best friend" that I ever had.

I also made a set of sachets 

with a birthday theme.

The possibilities are endless.

If you're not into sewing, my friends,

or maybe you just don't have time to make some of these

than feel free to visit my Etsy shop where these

and other Mother's Day items are available.

Here are a few pictures of the kittens.
The are now 4 1/2 weeks old.

This is sweet Chubs.
A very mellow kitten
that enjoys sleeping and cuddling.

Stripester is very playful

and has a lot of energy.

She was the firstborn 

and seems to be the most adventurous.

And lovely little Melly.
She is simply precious and whenever I sit on the floor
she comes over to sit on my lap.

Sweet dreams. . .
