not a scrap get's wasted...

Remember these little pieces of wood that I used to make legs for my sideboard? ( of course you do, it was my last post! ;) )

Do you see what I'm seeing in this? Of course you do: it's a perfect door wedge!
Which is great, since I really needed a few.

So I stormed upstairs, scaring the beejeezus out of Inky in the process, and started working through my fabric stash until I found what I was looking for: a small piece of a leather, the last piece of an old leather belt.

next post will be better, promised! 

Meanwhile, have you been up to any crafty mischief?
