My workspace is full of little hearts in red, pink and caramel tones these days.
The puffy red heart in the picture is my own little brooch and it is filled with a bit of fragrant lavender and spices.
It came about once I was making lavender sachets -which is, I think, a bit more than is normal.
I was trying to make a little red heart brooch but I just wasn't happy with the results. It resisted all my attempts of improvement and completion and persisted in looking somehow flat and lacking.
Untill I plumped it up with some of the lavender mix from my near-by sachets that is.
I love how it swells and dips and looks three-dimensional and I sure love how it smells!
I've been getting requests for it, so I'm making a batch with this pretty fabric in rich, warm autumn tones.
This is how big it is and how it looks worn.
