So can you buy fabric when....

your partner/ husband (or equivalent) is hanging around?

I'm not exactly sure why, I deserve to buy fabric, but I cannot go online crafty shopping while my husband is out of bed or hanging around.  He has to be either out or in bed. 

Its strange... its not like I don't need what I am buying.  I can explain and justify every purchase... and its not guilt that I am experiencing!  He even gets shown when I get the parcel!

What do you all think?

 Do I have a fabric/ yarn buying problem... don't answer that- the answer is of course NO! I don't!

Its a good thing he doesn't go into Spotlight with me, the place would go bust if he did!

LOVE

The fabric designer Amy Butler has a new range titled LOVE, and really... I LOVE it!

This turned up on my door step on Monday (along with the orange and turquoise above)

Isnt it just beautiful!

now what to do with it?

So this month I will be sewing for ME!

I have the versatile wrap skirt and this fabric:

Parcel full of Sandi Henderson fabric

Wow- you sure get great customer service At Kelani Fabrics . I ordered yesterday and paid for express. She rang me 2 times to confirm my order (as I was not clear) and then I got this in the mail (and some is mine as well)

I would have edited the photos better but was too excited to show everyone.

Now I have to decide what fabrics I am going to use for the patchwork skirt I'm making for Ellise.

Fabric Addiction!

I went shopping today, but I think I went a bit overboard and might have to sell some of the fabric :( but never mind I still had fun shopping. Amy Butler Daisy Chain
