Use Up and Make Do

 I've called this post Use Up and Make Do because

 I've been finding new old things as I sort and clean my studio 

and I really do need to use them up and make do!

One thing I've learned about myself is that 

I can certainly fit a lot of stuff into a small space!

An old glass candlestick that I had aged

...ages ago, 

I added a wool blend, fibre stuffed ball 

that I had created

...ages ago.

Then I slow stitched (read; hand stitched at great speed)
 a velveteen strawberry,

twisted some crochet cotton from my hoard into a cord,

 added an old button, 

and

 tied the base with 

an over dyed stained piece

of cheesecloth.
