Okay, my cup is full to overflowing with happy stuff here. And fabric too. Because two orders I had out there in cyberspace arrived today. Both were from Pink Castle Fabrics. One order was placed and paid for months ago but due to the complications of the fabric company not filling fabric shop orders properly I needed to wait. That hasn't made its arrival here today any less exciting.
The other order was some of my birthday spending bounty put into action. I hit the sale section at Pink Castle and it is amazing the fabrics that you can find there. Would you like to see what I got? (Honestly, you know that question was redundant because I am going to show you no matter what your answer was.
First, the boring looking ones. Lovely to have but Essex linen doesn't exactly make for a mind boggling, covetous photography. A half yard each in navy and grey.
Next the long awaited FMF. I couldn't get all the prints but what I did buy I love. I may or may not have an idea for this bundle already, but not for a while yet. Other things to do first.
And then there were the fabrics I got in the sale section. These all call to the colour addict in me.
You might notice that there are a number of other Denyse Schmidt fabrics in this haul. I might have a purpose for them as well. Maybe!
One might think that was enough excitement happening in my life in the past few days. But there's more. Really! You might remember that Cindy - Fluffy Sheep Quilting - had a contest to make a bundle of eight Kona Solids and then link your mosaic to her post. She then opened the contest to voting for the favourite bundle. I won! I know - surprised the heck out of me too! My prize is two yards of my choice of Kona solids. Well, I did think it would be silly to want anything other than the colours that were in my Sunrise mosaic, so I will be receiving a bundle of these from Cindy. And she will be listing this bundle in the shop so anyone else who wants it can order it too. This just might be my fifteen minutes of fame that Andy Worhol said everyone got.
I am sure there is other stuff to tell you, but my brain is fried on fabric goodness. I can't focus on anything else. My feast of fabric this week comes after quite a long drought. It might take me a while to get over this euphoric feeling.
