I {Heart} Fabric

Especially Japanese fabrics. And more specifically, Japanese fairy tale/storybook fabric. This is my collection thus far:


These were bought over a period of time. Probably spanning a few months. I splurged. I couldn't resist them any longer.

From the bottom: Snow White & Rose Red, The Three Bears, Golden Goose, Monkey in the Persimmon Tree, something with a wolf and a goat dressed in clothes (??), and Hansel & Gretel. I haven't cut them yet. I'm afraid to. What's new?

And a few more prints, including the Wizard of Oz, one of my all-time favorite movies. I really {heart} fabric.

These fabrics are so beautiful - I can see why you are having a hard time cutting into them. Where do you buy them?

I' envious. I have resisted buying any, because I wouldn't know what to do with them.

Cute! I heart fabric, too. I buy it with no intended purpose, only because it's a good deal, or it strikes my fancy at the time. Drives my DH batty, but I think he's getting used to it. Now he kids about our year's supply of fabric.

That japanese stuff is cute. I'd be afraid to cut it, too!

Where do you buy your fabric?

Those are awesome! I've been wanting and wanting some fairy tale prints but haven't quite given myself permission yet.

Oh! I think the wolf and goat fabric refers to The Wolf and the 7 Kids. In which a nanny goat leaves her kids at home alone, warns them not to open the door b/c of the wolf, wolf dresses up in goat skin, fools the kids Red Riding Hood style, eats the kids, falls asleep, nanny goat comes home, sees what has happened, cuts open the wolfs stomach, extracts kids, replaces them with stones, he wakes up and is thirsty, falls into a well and drowns. They didn't hold back in the old stories!

You can find it here: http://www.fln.vcu.edu/grimm/wolf_e.html

That was a little gory, maybe. But the fabric is AWESOME!

I heart fabric too! :)

I know what you mean about not being able to cut into it. I have fabrics like this, I just can't think of anything to make that is worthy of the fabric:)

(And oh my goodness, the word verification on my comment is fabric! Weird:)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
