What's on my desk - Lavender Ravioli


Take some assorted pieces of fabric and a bag of lavender
 
Add a handful of buttons
Cut fabric into squares using pinking shears
Machine stitch around three sides
Fill with lavender then stitch the last side
Finish with a bit of handstitching and buttons
And there you have it.
Be warned these are addictive once you start.

Now what's next ?
Oh yes, we are off to London at the weekend and will be bopping along to the Motown Musical Show at the Shaftesbury Theatre as well as a bit of cultural fun down on Brick Lane on Sunday.

There's time for a bit of desk hopping though first
over at Mrs D's place

Ladies In Lavender & the Eiffel Tower......

The Sunnybank craft group led by Susan made LAVENDER SATCHETS today.
 Using a plain envelope, a butterfly stamp and gel pens members coloured in the butterfly.
Here's Lily making a satchet for her friend
Mrs Shaw helping with Harold's satchet
Next up we pricked holes in the envelopes and put in a couple of tablespoons of lavender before sealing them on the back.  We added a bit of sellotape to make it more secure.
Harold did one for his lady friend Peggy who lives in Blackpool. We all laughed as the little animal stickers he put on said "Take me home" and "Cuddle me".  Wonder what Peggy will think of that.  Harold is in his 80's.
Pat, one of the care assistants, helped Mona make hers so I quickly made one for her with a Doodly Bird on.

Along with Susan's factoids on SUMMER it was another great session.  Im not sure that I believe the one she told us about the Eiffel Tower being taller in Summer than in Winter.  I will leave that one with you.
