Default thread and torn cloth inspiration

yesterday i reorganized a closet, and was delighted to fine some white
and blue wool , i have stored, and sort of stopped thinking about. As
well leftover pieces of cloth [quite a lot] of sewn clothes bed linen,
bags and who remembers what else. As i am just making 2 new part
applique part embroidery works, i was delighted to see some pieces
that might fit, as well as many soft left overs which i may use in
some cloth baskets i feel like making ,,, thus i have order in my
closet and am `richer` with materials ,,,,

Cloth Baskets are partly coiled partly sewn and embroidered over ,
open uncoiled over parts i braid at times or later applique over or
add beads .. It is a good work to do while watching TV , or listening
to the radio, it is a marvelous use of old cloth.

Ps i also made a garden charm , as core i used a plastic round net
that i found inside a Cheese box. Washed it well and than wove some
colored plastic [nylon] threads into the little net , left long tails
to which i added , beads and a tiny bell , it is really cute
