My new FABRICS have arrived

So I was using the computer as the UPS guy drove up. I will admit that a butterfly of excitement went through my belly. I LOVE receiving my fabrics! It is truly like Christmas morning!!! I have to post some of my faves here. But, you can check out ALL of my fabrics here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/14906607@N05/sets/72157603353767840/.

I can't wait to get sewing!!

The First Sign of Spring!!

As I was looking out my front door this morning - this little daffodil stem greeted me! I couldn't resist taking this picture and sharing it with you!! I LOVE SPRING!

In celebration of this little icy miracle I have been inspired to create a delcisiously mint and white spring/summer clutch.

Now the mission to find the right fabric begins........

Manic Monday Business Sense - Japanese Fabrics

Why are Japanese fabrics ALL the rage?? Yeah, I will admit that the patterns and colors are interesting. I like the feel of the "vintage" look fabrics.

I will admit that I loved Memoirs of a Geisha and have been fascinated with the culture since then.

I do cruise Ebay for some good deals on vintage kimono fabrics. I search around for good deals on Japanese fabrics (which are a bit on the pricey side - $8.00 for 1/2 yard).

I have found a site - Fabric Tales that offer a nice selection with reasonable prices. They have kids fabrics, modern japanese and traditional kimono like fabrics.

So, now I am off to find the next "japanese" in fabrics.......

Ciao!
