The Ark

Whatever floats your boat...

I made this in part because I couldn't find any other instructional videos about how to make a lavender stick. Kind of a lost Victorian pastime, I guess.

For my niece, Ash, but everyone is welcome to watch.

I've never seen this before - am wondering what the end result will look like and if maybe I've seen lovelorns around but just didn't know what they were...(on my way to find out...)

I assume you don't have to use lavender but can substitute any scent?
Or is lavender necessary to ignite the passion of your crush?

@ Pyper: I suppose any fragrant blossom that grows on the end of a long stalk, and that won't mold upon being wrapped, could be used to make a sachet like this. But lavender has the benefit of being really, really gay.

Is lavender necessary to ignite the passion of your crush? Of course not. There's always the classic aphrodisiac--the paper chain made out of gum wrappers.

OOHHH I want to braid your hair as well. Once upon a time I used to enjoy doing stuff like this and creating May Baskets.

@ Chig: Of the two of us, you have prettier hair by far. There used to be jokes that the hippie dippie college I went to offered a major in basket weaving, but I chose something else. Too bad. I coulda had a useful job skill.

@ Peacenik: Harrumph! That's why I was Grandma's favorite.

watching again. You're getting a lot of compliments on your hands so I'm rewatching to get a better look at them. I think they're on to something, your cougar paws are nice ;0)
