The Pressure
so what do you get the woman who has everything she wants or needs AND also happens to be your mother-in-law for her birthday?
you make her a set of lavender sachets. these were knitted up on size 2 needles with some mercerized cotton i had laying around. i got the idea from the knitter's bible and the lavender off of ebay.
i think she liked them.
and here's a picture of our tree house. i love this little tree house.

Fantastic idea - thanks for sharing. It's the perfect addition to the things I've picked up for my own MIL.

Pretty! What a nice gift idea!
PS: We did do Thanksgiving here in France. Stuffing, green beans, roasted potatoes, pumpkin soup, and a turkey breast. No whole turkey this year since it was just the two of us.

I really like the sachets - perfect way to use up some leftover yarns. I hope she liked them ;)

Those sashets are SO. PRETTY.
Yay for treehouses! Did you see the article in the Globe this weekend about the luxury tree/playhouses? A few of them were bigger than my condo. Ridiculous.

The lavendar sachets are very cute, but how was the tarte? Was it awesome?
