a day of discoveries!

I spent a good part of the afternoon going through my closet, otherwise known as The Stash for clothing, yarn, fabric, thread, and other wonderful things.

Some of this stuff had not been touched in years. It's been a while.

Some of today's discoveries:

• a small amount of shimmery white pleather
• a much larger amount of cheap black pleather 
• an incomplete embroidered wristlet reading "someday I will b" 
• A cat, who decided to come visit me while I was rummaging

Gently escorted from the premises.

• A bag full of white satin ribbon
• A roll of burlap from my sister's wedding
• A mostly complete sewn book cover (sans book)
• A tiny tuxedo for my wrist
• Another cat, who thought he'd try to steal some things while I was busy

Really?

• Part of a graveyard fake flower 
• Three bundles of vintage lace
• Sequins!

And, of course, a heck of a lot of yarn and miscellaneous fabric. 

I'll add links to this post as I use (or don't use) some of these things. Minus the cats, I'm not going to use cats for sewing. They don't look like they would be very good at it. 

I'm not entirely sure what to do with pleather of all things, but I'm sure I can figure it out.
