I found three things in a Opp Shop this week when taking things to drop off, I always seem to see some thing I want or need LOL>
These were on a tiny highland fling jacket that was beyond repair even for me!!!! but been a button person I spotted them and bought the jacket home for the buttons. Scottish thistle is on each little button.
This was in our rubbish pile at work very very dirty no one could work out what it was, it took me a while to work out what it was too. It's wings were very dirty even though it looked like an odd duck where was it's beak???? I rescued it as I felt it had to have a good use as it had been so well made under all the grim. Brought it home scrubbed it up and then it hit me its a ???? see in next photo!!!!!
Scissor, cotton reels, pins, and needle holder!!!!! I need to make him an eye!!!!!!
And this lovely cloth was in the material draw it is even finished by hand crochet???????

Blown out of a tree this week was a Green Tree Ant’s nest.
All that remands are the ball of dead leaves of the Green Tree Ants nest. It is the size of a soccer ball.
I have opened the ball of leaves and you can see 100's of leaves gathered and stitched together by the ants to form a home for 1000's of tree ants to live and breed in.
Happy sewing to you all who enjoy using a needle and thread. Cheers Glenda who is off to link with Esther
I bet a lot of ants can fit in that nest! Fun to camp in your yard 🙂 company overflowed huh, have fun visiting!
I love how you fix things up!! great sewing caddy!!!
