Using up

I've been thinking of what I could do with a big card of lovely lilac ric rac that I got from a car boot sale.  I've used some of it to make this brooch which also uses one of the buttons I got from the charity shop.  The blue fabric is left over from a top I made many moons ago.


                                    



I've also been making a couple of mice to put in my Folksy shop.  The first one is made from fabric left over from a skirt I once made.
