Stuffing my mother's Christmas stocking has been my domain for several years now. The task suits me well, and I always find myself excited about finding, making, wrapping her tiny gifts. This year, lavender sachets for drawers and stockings and mommies, sewed by hand and topped with a tinkly bell. Strong, heady lavender from France. Purl cotton. Tiny stitches. Strong thread.
8 maids a-milking:
How funny-we have a tinkly bell on our front door with just that sort of twine.
Mmm. I miss my daughter.
@Mouse: Me too :).
Belled lavender for our mummies indeed! We four sisters gave this little set from Jewelweeds (one of my favorite Etsy textile designers for such things...)

xo.
I always do my mom's stocking! I swear she's the easiest person to shop/make stuff for. I always have a million ideas.
I love handmade lavender sachets! I have a few on my desk and my night table, they smell -so- good!
I do my mother's stocking too! It's a favorite of the holidays. Little soaps, cocktail napkins...
So simple, so useful and so beautiful.
You've inspired me to craft this weekend.
