Fabric dreams..

I think I have a fabric addiction. I like making my own fabric, finding vintage fabric and buying new fabric. I could spend hours at a fabric shop, and spend all of my money on fabric. Thank goodness I have never won the lottery (I don't even play) because I would probably buy so much fabric it would bury me. Spoonflower, the amazing site dedicated to artist designing their own fabric has been my down fall. Everyday I think of a new fabric design that I want to make!

I also enjoy the hunt for amazing vintage fabrics! I am lucky to live in a rural area with many hidden treasures. Auctions, thrift stores, rummage sales reveal a spender of objects once loved.

This brings me to my latest finds! I happened on a stash of vintage fabrics at my local thrift store. Score! I walked away with a bag full of fabric and some exciting ideas! I found light pink linen, dark pink cotton, and the pièce de résistance ...this rose print (above)! I love it! The mustard and dark pink roses are to die for! I can't wait to use it, but I am scared to cut into it!
Another score was this blue brown and mustard mod vintage print. It reminds me of a peacock feather! I also got 2 pieces of mustard and blue heavy weight canvas. can't wait to get started on some bags, pillows and what have yous.
Ok, I guess that is enough drooling over vintage fabrics for now. I am planning on going to a huge auction next week. Cross your fingers for me!

Happy hunting!

It is a bright and snowy/icy morning here. All the trees are covered in a layer of ice! It looks beautiful, but is a real hazard to try to get around in.

I have been trying to be a busy bee this year. I have been trying to stick to a work schedule and my Husband is doing my accounting. I have so many ideas floating around in my head for the new year! I wish I had more time and money to complete them all!

For now...here is a sneak peek at some of the awesome custom fabric I had made! It is so wonderful to be able to say "That is my drawing on that fabric!". If you haven't heard about Spoonflower you must go check it out! The site owners are a fabulous bunch who are beyond helpful and sweet! I can't wait to order more fabric soon (it is fast becoming an addiction). This is the coolest thing since sliced bread if you ask me!

Off I go to the PO and to do some other much needed errands.

Cheers
