...from clearing up my desk.
I can't help it.
I'm supposed to be tidying up but I keep finding little bundles of fluff and thread like this:
Would you look at those colours? Beautiful.
But what can I do with it?
Put it in a little plastic ricotta pot (washed) and hoard it, of course!
And then there's this little bundle of bits:
The trimmings from the edge of the advent calendar I made for the NEW LITTLE person, due to arrive anytime soon...the advent calendar I didn't take a photo of because I had to deliver it in person to the prospective very tired people parents at very short notice on Tuesday and didn't finish it until 11pm Monday....sorry!
Like the soon-to-be-born little niece/nephew, these snippets of linen and cotton are truly tiny:
and as if by magic they are stitched together down one side...what else can they become, other than a book?
Why does it take me all day to tidy my desk?
