I want that book! I have been playing with my blanket stitch on my machine…I am itching to applique something!
baking soda sachets are such as great idea! I quite often use baking soda around the house but it isn’t nearly as pretty!
I reallt like the idea of the dryer sachets. I make my own laundry soap and that would definitely give it a little kick!
That book looks interesting – I’ve been wanting to try out applique.
A baking soda sachet would be a great gift for my friend’s baby to be!
oh, what a fantastic giveaway!
I would love to try out the dryer sachets; they sound delicious.
Love the baking soda sachet – I’m definitely going to make that and the lavender heart.

Baking soda sachets are nice. I like the idea they can be hung anywhere and are reusable.
I just finished up some sachet/rice bags of my own:

Great gifts except they are hard to part with!
Love the idea of things that smell good – the perfect gift for everyone!!
The baking soda sachets are a wonderful idea! I’ll have to make one for my baby sister’s cradle.
mmmmm, lavender dryer sachets…tooooo sweet!
I love the tags and sachets!
And I’m ALWAYS looking for a good crafty book!
Oh, peppermint! and applique – fantastic!
I love the idea of adding a fragrance to a gift!!!
The baking soda sachets are a such a clever idea. I’m also thinking about making the first sachet, but maybe with cloves.
The book looks great!
The baking soda sachets are great. I put ziploc bags around the house but these are SOO much cuter!
