Cross Stitch Lavender Sachet

Hello!
I love lavender. My sister in Brazil loves it too.
I am sending her a late birthday gift, and decided to include a lavender sachet.
The pattern is from Rico Designs. I made some changes. It was charted for Anchor, but I found  a conversion chart for DMC online.
Another change I made: A ribbon bow instead of the cross stitched  from the original.
I used lavender satin for back and lower part of the front. I also used some lace and tiny beads to add a little more to this very simple design.
I added lavender buds to the filling. I am sure she will like it. :)  Smells wonderful.
Now, I need to make one for me too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Ana Paula.

    Muito delicado esse grafico, ficou um mimo. Você poderia me passar esse gráfico por email? No meu lavabo tenho um vaso com lavandas artificiais e uma toalhinha bordada com esse grafico iria combinar direitinho. Desde já agradeço a atenção. Bom dia!!!

    Love the cross stitch. I used to do it so many years ago. My daughters have their names and samplers done and I think that was the last time I crossed stitched, so that had to be about 15 years ago. Goodness time flies.
