French Inspired and Handmade

Just completed these little French Inspired Lavender Pillows.

Perfect for a gift to a special French-loving friend.

I decided I didn't want to use up all of my antique French Mangle cloth. It is just too precious in my stash...

So I made my own!...Well sort of...

 It doesn't make it French or Antique... more like an original take on my favourite fabric I guess.

I used up some beautiful left over natural linen that I bought from Thea and originally used for another project.

I love this linen!

Stencils, masking tape and fabric paint and there you have it!

Handmade and hand painted lavender pillows.

.

I love intentionally fraying the edges natural linen. There is just something about it!

Oh yes, another important part...

Stuff them full of freshly dried lavender buds.

The scent is divine.

Give them a squeeze and the scent

 permeates even more so...

DIVINE.



Easy peasy and a very quick project for 'time poor for craft' people like me.

Have a fabulous day on this very sunny  and very warm Brisbane morning.

A Sneak Peek...

Here is a sneak peek of my mini handmade soaps in the mini flax linen bags that I have made.

These are especially for Thea's  Morning Tea she is kindly hosting this morning.

Australian Biggest Morning Tea is an annual event held all across the country.

These mini soaps and bags, along with an amazing collection of other handmade and natural items are going to be put in the goodie bag which will be given to each wonderful person attending this morning.

I can't wait!

Raising funds for Cancer Council research.

A cause so dear to my heart.
