Seriouisly, I did not know what I had bought by the end of it. I am still not sure. It's going to be some happy post days in the not too distant future though. I'll show you what I managed to buy when it is all here. Not nearly as much as I tried to buy, mind you. I couldn't type in 'Me' fast enough for some of the fabric on sale. What a fun evening though. And - get this - himself said to me beforehand, 'Don't sell any of your fabric and buy what you like.' Huh?! Not sure what I put in his dinner that caused this but must figure it out and put it in more often!
Not to forget, I stumbled into my lqs on Friday after a flat tyre and all that fun, having completely lost the will to control my spending. I went in for two FQs and some machine needles.
In a strange twist of fate I came out with more. What cane I say? They had some old favourites still in stock and some lovely new lines in. I could not resist.
Finally, I have been doing more HST trimming. The colours are still making me happy.

Love those colours!Something nice is certainly in the making!.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what your bought and what you're currently making!
ReplyDeleteI am just about to tell my hubby about your hubby!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the fq you got in your shop. I am so happy I do not have a shop here. I would be shopping all time. Give me the recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteyour HST trimmings are beautiful .. can't wait to see what you're making. sounds like a lot of fun with the buying and it seems I should get a flat soon.
ReplyDeleteRainbow trimmings - very satisfying to look and such a beautiful pile of scraps, and know you're making progress. I have some trimming to do myself today - tedious work but unfortunately necessary (unless you'd like to come and do it for me ?)
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see what you bought fabric wise !
I am in love with your trimmings!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be like your birthday when you finally get all the stuff you bought through! I was following it all as a spectator. I do wonder about IG though because Emily - strawberry patch says she didn't win on one thread of Fiona's and yet on my feed she's the first person to say she wanted it. Hmmm
ReplyDeleteAwesome husband! I look forward to seeing what you bought as you do too! I'm so glad I was just selling!
ReplyDeleteI'm really struggling to comment on your blog - this and post the other day. It keeps saying bloggers become unresponsive and won't post?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I watched all the IG activity as a spectator. It'll be like Christmas when what you bought arrives! I do wonder about IG commenting though. Emily clearly says on one of Fiona's that she's not won it but according to my feed she's the first person to comment.
Have I mentioned that Eclectic Maker is 2 blocks from my house?? Temptation or what??
ReplyDeleteI have started to allow myself £20 per month on discretionary spending (I know, radical spendthrift huh? LOL)
- read I buy fabric :)
Will have to get a post up & show my latest purchases.

Ha ha I know you bought a lot because every time I looked at some pretty fabric on Instagram you had already bagged it! And why not - your stash is going to be v impressive after this. Really looking forward to seeing the final haul photo.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo after the HST trimming - who would ever think that something destined for the bin could be so pretty!
I am seriously trying to get some of this fabric at the moment but can only find it in America & Australia. Trying for home turf, anyone know of it??

You were all over that destash Mrs, glad i logged off at 8, made for a productive sewing evening! I'll help you stroke these new fabrics tomorrow, cos i'm generous like that!
ReplyDeleteLovely choices! I'm sure you won't be disappointed with whatever turns up! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteI - want - your - fabric - stash. It always looks divine.
ReplyDeletenice haul! Can't wait to see what you got - I'm not on IG thank goodness because it would have been to tempting but it'll be fun seeing what people bought!
ReplyDeleteI got a much longed for and missed first time round fat 8th bundle. And a lovely wee pile from Miss Emily. So I am very happy but virtuous! Could (tried!) have spent a fortune.
ReplyDeleteObviously himself was listening to Happiness Week last week on Radio 1... ;o)
ReplyDeletewow - awesome hubby! I switched my instagram off for all these destashes :-)
ReplyDeleteFlat tyres deserve this kind of treatment! Looking forward to seeing what your getting :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did well and will have some beautiful creations soon.
ReplyDeleteHST trimming is always pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI completely failed on the UK destash - I had two lots of clients on Sunday and I was about ready for bed by 7pm, not starting to sell and buy fabric. Can't wait to see what changed hands though!
mmm...you found some yummies there in your LQS.
ReplyDeleteThe IG sale was an inspiration but I watched the Midwife in the end instead.
ReplyDeleteGotta treat yourself in January, it's the worst month and you deserve it ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you bought me, 😉 btw been to the gap lately?
ReplyDeleteIt was loads of fun....I thought I'd bought a jelly roll, but hadn't...so now I'll have a hopscotch pattern and no jelly roll : o( But I did buy some lovely stuff ... Took me a while to realise that I wasn't first, even though it looked like I was! But that saved me some money
ReplyDeleteNice fabric shopping. Sunday evening was such fun. I couldn't beep up. I loved the post of the fabric stash that one hubby put up for £0.01. I lol and my man couldn't believe that a hubby would dare do that! Your husband was far kinder. Di x
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of 'him' to give you permission to go wild...mine would NEVER say that - he knows only too well that I would go nuts! Looking forward to seeing what you've bought when it arrives!
