A great day

I had a great day today. My mom and I did the shopping and lunch thing. I found the perfect cording at Hobby Lobby (after an extensive search) for these commission pieces I am doing.

We went to JoAnnes and nothing grabbed me and made me take it home. Had burgers and hot fudge sundae's. Sooooo goooooood!

Our last stop was this quilt shop in Adrian. I used to never go to quilt shops before because of the cost per yard. What a fool I was. The quality and the selection are top notch. The ladies working at quilt shops are the nicest. And I am a small business wanabe, so why wouldn't I support other small businesses. Not only is my $$ going to a business in a small community but these people live and spend their $$ in these communities. It is a glorious cycle.

Ok, aside from all that they have the most delicious fabrics ever. I found these fabrics that I just want to roll around nudie on them. I won't but I want to.

I have this thing for bright colors. I want to mix them in a bowl and eat them with a spoon. They grabbed onto me and wouldn't let me leave the store without them. Did I mention I have a thing for fabric. Do you realize all the beautiful things I can make with very little effort on my part just because they are so exquisite? Do you! DO YOU!! I love them so much. I gladly handed over my credit card. Statement be damned!!! You can't put a price on true love.

I can't be too rash and just start cutting into them. I have to admire them for a day or two, daydreaming on all the different bags I can make. Totes, messenger bags, wristletts. I even found a couple of fabrics from my stash to make these beauties stretch even farther. Customers will flock to my tent at my next show and I will sit proudly as they all admire my beautiful bags, throwing compliments and cash left and right. I can see it now.

It was a great day, a great day indeed.
