Using up those little bits!

Using up those little bits!

I really do seem to be in sewing overdrive at the moment I am trying to recycle little bits and bobs that many others would have thrown away when they were at least double the size. I really do hoard, though you never know when something might come in handy for a future project (well that’s my excuse) These little wall pictures have been created from tiny left over pieces of felt and hand sewn onto fragments of tapestry backing I had ”lying” about in one of my many ‘save and see’ boxes. I came across a couple of salvaged wooden frames in another ‘save and see’ bag whilst ”””’TIDYING UP”””” Oh My! The tidying up went right out of the window I am now somewhere underneath the most humongous pile of felt offcuts at the moment – even I am feeling the urge to get the hoover tools and suck the mess off the conservatory table, goodness knows what my husband thinks when he comes home each night from work – Thankfully he never says anything about the state of ”’MY work space”’ 

One day I might have a clear table and empty ‘save and see’ boxes but I won’t hold my breath!
