To my readers who do not know me personally, no, you have not misjudged my age I am nearer to 40 than 15. When I got home I was told to go see the surprise on my pillow, it was for doing a good job that day. : )

As it happened the centre for the course was near to the fabric store I went to last weekend. I went back for a lunch time visit and wandered dazzled through the beautifully colour co ordinated displays of fabric, coming to rest at and not getting past the Japanese fabrics. The fabric I showed last time I originally picked up in a beautiful cherry red but knew Miss 5 would prefer pink, so when I saw this tomato red 30cm length I thought I'd have it and two beautiful mates, boy it was hard to jut choose three. This photo does not do them justice.

Today Dave and I went out for lunch We have been together for 6 years so it was a kind of anniversary congrats licence lunch, there was a salvos store next door and I was thinking I might buy a cute red spotted ladies sun dress for the fabric to make something for Miss 5 until I saw the $20.00 price tag .. a bit too much when I could buy the fabric for that. I did however nab this gorgeous depression glass sugar bowl for $2.00 I envision it as a display bowl in my currently non existent creative space ( LOL ) and these two near new summer tops for Miss at $1.50 each were a good buy.

While I am quietly crocheting a scarf in the background so my hands are busy I am having withdrawals from my sewing machine so I hope to have something creative, of the sewn variety to share with you soon.
