Short weekend..

I can't believe the weekend is over already. I was hoping to get those pillows that I have been working on finished so that I could post a picture but that hasent happend. I have gotten alot of other things taken care of though. I did alot of laundry and cleaned things up here around the house. I'm still working on re-organizing my fabric I'm trying to find a good way to fold the larger cuts of fabric so that they fit on my shelves better. Any Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Jen left a comment on my last post about small hand work that I could take with me on the ship and suggested fabric yo-yo's that I could use to make a garland similar to hers to be able to decorate with. What a great idea Jen!! I never thought about that.. I don't have the yo-yo makers but might look to see if I can get some. I am going to look through some of my things and see if there are other holiday things that I can make. Were supposed to be back in time for the holidays so I would be back just in time to decorate.. smiles

My Purr..fect Cat fabric!!

Okay!! Well because of the rain I wanted to get a couple of magazines from Joann's before heading back up the hill to my apartment. Well you know how it goes it's like going in to walmart.. you go in with a list of like 3 things and come out with a cart full. Well I went in for a couple magazines and saw that the fiskars coastal collection was still on sale and then walking down the notions isle there were a bunch of things on clearance.. like elastic, and needles things like that... so I just had to pick those up.. and there was a fiskars ruler for fleece that was on clearance for $5 couldn't pass that up.
So there I was walking through Joanns and I stumbled across the PURR-fect cat fabric... Really it doesn't get any more perfect than this. Here are some pictures.. I got 2 yards of each and don't know what I am going to do with them yet but I LOVE IT!!!

I bought 7 different fabrics of this line I know the 4th one in the first picture looks the same as the first one in the second but they are different the second has purses and things. (Hmm.. a purse/ tote bag?) I love the fabrics I described the fabrics to my mom as being more of a neopolitan mix they are brown and pink.. the pictures don't do the fabrics justice I really really love them.. can you tell?

That is too cute! My daughter Kim loves cats and pink and green combos. I had thought about making a lap quilt. That would be great! Rhoda

Oh I really like the new fabrics and I can't wait to see what you are going to make out of them. Maybe a quilt, or a tote bag or several tote bags.

My sister would DIE for those fabrics. Those are so cute and even though I'm not a big cat fan, I even like them. Glad you found a treasure trove.
