Patchwork Mouse

Finished the white denim skirt, except for the trim on the bottom edge. After a lot of poking around and rethinking what I wanted, last night I found--and ordered--1" white ribbon with dolphins and orcas woven in. Pretty!

I also ordered a blue and white ruffle, which will look good on the light blue skirt I was sort of planning (although denim will no longer work).

And I'm in the process of ordering lots and lots of small embroidered butterfly appliques. I want mint green or lavender for those, although I'd settle for white again, or maybe rose pink.

I also figured out *exactly* what I want to do with the denim shoulderbag I've been thinking about: leftover dolphin trim over the strap, one of those great orca buttons (that I haven't been buying because I had no use for them) for the closure, and cut the front applique out of the orca fabric that I used for my bedquilt. [Later: I can't find my scraps of orca fabric, dammit. I must have used it all. Oh, well, I have lots of marine fabric, much of it blue, so there's sure to be something that will work. One of the space whales, for example.]

*sigh* My to-do list keeps getting longer and longer.
