    I got the lavender from ebay it was 3.95 for 200g... 200g is a really good amount, I am storing it in a kilner jar.

    The sachets I made by making a long tube with some offcuts of white fabric, I then used a funnel to put the lavender in, then just machined across at about 1.5" cut it off and did it again - if that makes sense

    I am not sure if we allowed to put ebay link on here...

    I liked the look of those little owls so I decided to make some myself. The blue one I made last, and it took me a couple of hours from start to finish today.

    They're brilliant! I hope I become as good to make them. So far I've made a headband, a headband with a crocheted flower a skinny twisty scarf and am now on with an infinity scarf :) I love crocheting and it's keeping me away from the treat cupboard lol

    My youngest daughter has the one on the left, and she hasn't let it out of her sight all day! They've all named them Wol after the spelling which Owl on Winnie the Pooh uses :rotfl:

    Thought I would share these with you. I am a real beginner and have tried to do a few projects but have managed to complete these two coasters in an hour or so. I know they are very basic but really please with myself:D
