small things....

After the bags and cushions, I had a real urge to work on something small, more containable if you know what I mean.....

So I looked at my scrap basket which is indeed overflowing and probably needs a good sort out....and I decided to use some of the vintage and scrappy bits of fabric to make some mirrors.....
then I thought that in your handbag, amongst all the clutter and bits and bobs that you carry around all the time (or is that just me?)! it probably would be a good idea to protect the little mirror.

I had just the thing, a creamy soft woollen blanket which I rescued from a charity shop (thrift store) months ago because I loved it's softness, knowing one day the ideal use for it would occur (as they often do).....

and so I made a soft protective cover and appliqued a little heart on the outside so that you might get a little vintage goodness to match the mirror inside. They would make a lovely gift too, in fact, I know just who to give one to.

They are on the website now and will be in the Etsy shop soon.

I've an idea for something equally small which I'll show you when it's ready......xx
