I was all revved up to make a million (a rough estimate) little lavender pouches today, and I wound up with only four. I think I would be unstoppable if I had little cutting elves who cut my pieces out of the fabric and got them ready for me. As it is, I have to do that cutting myself, and I find it tedious. So tedious. Almost as bad as having to fold the remaining fabric and put it away.
Click the picture to enlarge. I made these two and two that look exactly the same, for myself. I had thought I'd offer these two for sale, but then I ran up against the inevitable pricing problem. I spent a long time making each one, and therefore want to price accordingly, but doing so is useless if nobody then wants to buy them. So I'm not going to bother trying to sell them.
But if you'd like to arrange a trade for either or both, e-mail me at anna.torborg[AT]gmail.com (as always). The pouches close with a ribbon tie, and the actual lavender is sewn into a separate little oragandie (voile? Sheer meshy fabrics go by too many different names.) bags, so you can switch it out when you want. The pouches are 4.75" high by about 3.5" wide.
A better shot of the lighter one.
I've added the on-site links to the sidebar. The image map in the title image doesn't work in IE, which I've known for a while now and hadn't done anything about. It's obviously not the cleverest bit of code to use, but then -- if you're still using IE, you've got problems beyond missing out on the rest of my site.
That wasn't very sympathetic of me. But, seriously.
Hmm. I've not tried the image map on my page in IE. Perhaps I ought to...but then mine isn't as deep as yours in the pages. Hmm...and I think the world should switch over to FF anyway.
Scratch that. I'm not testing it in IE. I'm glad we've come to this decision, and I appreciate your help.
Oh, and nice pouches.

HA!
I want to hug you over that firefox comment, your wonderful!
Also! I went out this afternoon with intent to purchase envelopes to mail prints in, but alas, my area is totally envelope free. Nothing sturdy enough to mail them in, so I'm ordering some online tomorrow, I'm so sorry to make you wait since it was my idea to trade. I'm a terrible online friend!

That rose fabric is beautiful! :D
(PS, thanks for giving me a great idea for my mum's birthday ^_^ )
