I'm in the middle of rearranging my studio/office right now and it's finally starting to take shape. I went to IKEA and got this wonderful laminated fabric to re-cover my sewing table (it's just a door) and it makes me very happy every time I walk in the room. I love big polka dots. I'm happy to have my sewing space back in the big room since it felt very cramped and lonely tucked into the office.
I've been pulling out my own stash of fabric from the boxes I had it stowed in and it was really fun to re-discover some of the goodies I've been holding onto. There were also a few "why do I have this?" items but my kids were happy to snap most of those up. I love having fabric out where I can see it because it's such a cute decoration all by itself and it really gives me a lot of inspiration when I can see it all.
This pallet has been keeping me very busy. When the gal at the printing company said I'd be getting a delivery from UPS Freight I didn't realize what that meant (as opposed to regular UPS). Wow. Once we had some envelopes stuffed I spent a few hours running around my part of town to all the quilt stores (there were 6! Who knew?) and received lots of friendly responses and sold quite a few. I'm putting links in the sidebar so if you live in the Phoenix area you can see who's carrying them (and online stores too).
And we hit a milestone here at the house. I came downstairs and found my baby making his own peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Yay! He ate two yesterday so now I realize I'm going to have to hide the bread or he'll eat them all day long if left unsupervised. He hasn't learned the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing yet.
5 weeks to Quilt Market and I'm already getting excited! I'm going to have some great roommates and I'm really looking forward to meeting a bunch of my internet friends in real life. Fabric people are my favorite! Yippy!
Have a great week!
