More Fabric.....

Well, I just can't help myself.....

The Signature Prints sale was on again today and I had the luxury of going alone! I managed to pick up 2m of a black print, and 40cm of a 'grey' bamboo print. And two pieces of wallpaper. All for $136....bargain (isn't it???).


Then I trotted off to Tessuti for some silk fabrics for my major millinery piece (a bridal piece with tulle veil). Well my eye was drawn to the 'clearance' table in the centre of the room that had the most beautiful cream fake fur on it for 50% off (pictured in the background of the photo).....I just couldn't leave it there (despite the fact that it cost more than all my millinery fabric put together).


And just to show off my husbands fantastic drawing abilities, I am going to post two pieces that he has completed. The BEST (in my opinion) is a picture of "David" that he copied from a postcard that we bought in Florence when we were there. I think he did a brillant job. And then there are just 2 cards that he completed last week for a friends twin boys for their 2nd birthday. James was distraught when we had to hand them over! I really wish he could spend more time drawing as I think he is fantastic at it.

A Scarf and Some Very Special Fabric

I have finished my crocheted scarf.......I love it. It is so soft, and the colours look great. I had to undo it a few times as I kept losing stitched and then picking them up. I know where I went wrong, but I still have no idea how to correct it for next time. However, I think that once the scarf is sitting around my neck this winter, noone will even notice.



I also have to post pictures of the Signature Prints Florence Broadhurst fabric we picked up at the warehouse sale on the weekend. These fabric are destined for cushion covers (probably later this year), possibly a cover for a pinboard (for the study), and some bag (desperately wanting to use my new Amy Butler patterns from Corrie).
