Thrift Flip Trinket Bags

I needed some little baggies to keep some metal girdles in so that they don't tangled up and damaged, so I was very happy when I found an embroidered fabric Christmas placemat that I liked the design of at the thrift store.

I cut it in half after washing and ironing it, folded down a little casing and sewed it in place, and then joined the conveniently pre-hemmed edges of each piece. Finally I sewed an organza ribbon in half and used it as ties for the baggies.

Quick, cheap, useful and ultimately ticking that oh-so-satisfying 'easily completed task box!

Jasper and Glass Bead Necklace

Here is a necklace I strung recently as a gift for our local Baroness on the occasional of her step down.
The pendant is jasper set in silver and the beads are glass. They are strung on tiger tail wire.

Necklace

My local group has a fighter auction tourney coming up, and the populace has been asked to donate prizes. Today I finished a white glass pearl necklace with a pearlised pendant. I think it will go nicely with just about any late period garb.
