Look what I've made for my home! Round bottomed fabric storage basket!

Last night I decided to make this round bottomed fabric storage basket for the living room. The pattern, found via Film in the Fridge,  was very easy to follow and I don't think I will stop at one! My basket looks a bit overstuffed as I had so much yarn and the yarn balls are fairly big but it is much better then a huge plastic bag I used to store my yarn in before. 

To avoid ironing on the interfacing, I used a heavyweight linen by Heather Ross and made the circle in the lining from stiff canvas fabric I had laying around for ages. I like the brown and green and it matches our couch perfectly. Not to mention how great it feels to make something nice for my home. 

Loving the creative start of my holidays! 

Have a lovely Friday! 

Scent of Lavender

This project incorporates so many things that Plushka is so passionate about: linen with beautiful rough texture, cross-stitch, cute Japanese linen illustrated by Heather Ross and Lavender.

Lavender is used widely in aromatherapy. It believed that if allied to the temples, lavender oil soothes oil soothes headaches. In pillows, lavender flowers aid sleep and relaxation.

That's why I used the linen with sleeping princess design by Heather Ross as it seamed the ideal illustration of lavender qualities:)

I had so much fun matching embroidery floss colours to the linen at the back. I love this hot pink one. It feels like pink dominates in my creative space at the moment with the crochet baskets, fabric and headbands:)

These sachets can be used in the draws, wardrobe, bedside table or just to decorate a bedroom by hanging on the door handle.

Do you like Lavender? If not, what is your favourite scent?

Have a great Wednesday!
