DIY: lavender sachets

living in alaska has been a very interesting experience.

i'm a arizona girl at heart (gilbert), so i live for the warmth.

i miss the bright sun and the 100 + degree weather.

i will be lucky to see 70 + anytime this year. ouch.

so to warm up i tried searching for a tutorial to make some rice bags.

you know the ones you heat in the microwave.

instead i found these lavender bags... i fell in LOvE.

i found them on paper n stich.

they are so cute!

i would love to find this fabric.

or any fun bright fabric... where do you shop for fabric?
