It's Rachel's Birthday...she is Sweet Sixteen!!!
Rachel is my youngest son Davy's girlfriend - Her birthday is on Valentines Day!!! 
This is a Lavender Sachet that I made for her...I knit a square out of red wool and threw it into the washer and dryer to 'felt' it.  Then I hand embroidered her initial "R" for Rachel and stitched the little hearts and filled them in with purple (her favorite color)...I hand stitched a little pouch and filled it with lavender that we grew here on the farm, then backed it with a piece of purple commercial felt and did a blanket stitch with embroidery thread all around...It's got a really neat Homespun look about it and I hope she likes it!
