grandma mabel always made crocheted sachets that looked like little spring baskets of flowers. she crocheted them using sewing thread or tatting thread ~ they were small, only 1.5 x 1.5″. with a cotton ball stuffed inside after being sprinkled with perfume, the sachets were to be used in your hankie box. and yes, of course, all the linen hankies in the hankie box had crocheted or tatted lace edges.

I love Astrosatchel’s little bags, Kari Woo’s necklaces and Laura McKibbon’s ceramics!

Favorite handmade thing? Right now it’s the cross-stitched space invaders pillow my sister made for my husband’s birthday. It’s a definite grab during a fire item.

Favourite hand made thing by someone else — some crocheted lace made by my great-grandmother.

By myself — the hat I just made for my one year old son: http://www.twitpic.com/8stbm

Flip, I can’t wait to see this doc. I love the book and the illustrations by Kate Bingaman-Burt.

Favorite hand made thing as of late, a flower print sewn machine gun a friend from Emily Carr made for me. She also made a life size tank you can take naps in, it’s glorious.
