I hand knit and machine knit a doll I orginally knit 30 years ago or so.  I have such a stash of stuff, I didn't have to go out and buy anything for it as I am such a packrat and had everything needed.

Here is a bouquet of flowers that did not get used for a wedding after all.  It was good practice in making fabric flowers and incorporating brooches and beaded beads.

Bracelets and flowers with buttons

I was making bracelets with the common component of buttons from my stash last winter. Originally I was just trying to use up the stash I'd been collecting from my sewing days (I'd don't sew like I used to). Since then I've been collecting even more buttons. I've been trying to concentrate on rhinestone ones but if I find some gold or silver colored ones with shanks and they look interesting, I snap them up.

Lately, I've been on a sumami kanzashi or folded fabric flower kick.  I've also been making gathered fabric flower.  I'll incorporate brooches, buttons, beads and bracelet components into a bouquet.
