Mish Mash Monday

Can you believe it's the end of June already?  Only 6 more months til Christmas!!!!  Not that I'm ready for it by any stretch of the imagination, but if I plan to sell holiday items on Etsy, I need to get busy making them!  This lavender sachet is my most recent creation.  I just need to get it listed in the shop.


I've been baking cookies again!  This time butter pecan cake cookies.  They are heavenly!


I was making an asian coleslaw that called for napa cabbage.  I cut the end off the cabbage and was wowed by the beautiful rose like design.  I know you're thinking the heat has finally got to me, but really, look how pretty this is!  I've used the cabbage many times before but never paid attention to the detail I guess.


I found this guy in the yard the other day.  He's a yearly visitor.  I don't know, maybe he's a she!


I went rummaging through my stash and came up with this fabric combination to try something new.  I might need to hit the thrift store or antique shop to find some hankies or doilies for embellishment.  You'll never guess what it's going to be!  But go ahead, try....


That's all I've been up to lately.  What about you?  Have you started any new projects or better yet finished any?  Whatever you're up to, I hope you are enjoying it!!!

  3. I love the sachet - so feminine looking. I guess there's a reason why cabbage roses are called cabbage roses. Isn't nature beautiful?

    I think it's going to be an apron - a very feminine, frilly apron.

  5. I LOVE your sachet. SO pretty and feminine. I also love your new little friend. Don't you know, all turtles are boys? At least, that's how it is in my world anyway :)
