Cindy Lou Who

I discovered this fun fabric print at my favorite quilt store. Perfect for a co-worker whose family teasers her when she wears her hair up like Cindy Lou Who. I couldn't resist, I just had to make a keepsake heart for her for our office Secret Santa. I filled the heart with balsam fir. A perfect scent for the holiday.

Time for a coffee break!

The local farmers market has the most fabulous roasted coffee beans. Two of my favorites are the Cinnamon Hazelnut and the Vanilla Hazelnut. Delightfully mellow aromas. The scents are subtle, but fragrant enough to lure you to your favorite reading nook and pick up a good book to read.

I recently made a custom heart keepsake for a customer. It's for her husbands home office. I used a masculine fabric in paisley on one side and unbleached cotton on the other side. Then I added a wide brown ribbon. Dark French Roast coffee beans fill the inside of this keepsake heart, bold but not overwhelming.

The sachet can be placed on a small saucer with unbleached cotton side down. Over time the unbleached cotton will absorb the oils from the coffee beans and give the sachet a touch of Old World charm.
