The scary fabric haul…
I finally plucked up enough courage (& found the time) to sort out the pile of fabric that I had been buying online and sending back home. Needless to say that Ted wasn’t a happy camper having been woken up many times early in the morning coz the delivery guy pops by about 7.30am if he has something for me and Ted is normally up for work later than that. 
And occasionally he had to actually go down to the postoffice to collect the parcels for me – such a good husband! I knew I married him for a reason. 
Anyway, this is it :
The only one I wasn’t happy about was the crazy green dog one which I got on eBay…it’s meant to be for little boys but look how big the prints are! :/ So, me not happy abt that at all…..thank goodness it wasnt that expensive.
It’s funny how when I buy fabric it’s always for the kids so this time, I got the stripe one for myself. Why stripes? I really dont know but I like how mellow the color is AND it’s gender neutral too so J-Roc and I might get matching outfits!
I got these from a destash sale…love it! 
Finally some floral knits for the girls.
I think I should *REALLY REALLY* stop buying fabric. And Ted would whole heartedly agree with this! lol Did I mention that he has modified the changing table so that I have a sort of moveable rack? With all the extra work and exercise he’s been doing rearranging my stuff around, he won’t be needing that pull up bar anytime soon!! You (those not into sewing and such) might think it’s easy to just stop but once you get into this whole fabric craze business, it’s not that easy. It’s VERY addictive and the only thing stopping me from going on a spending spree is my PayPal budget – no money, no buy. *sigh* Thank goodness I’m home-bound coz I don’t have a driving license, if not….I’m sure to send us into bankcrupt!
PS. Did I also mention that along with the fabric I hand carried down with me, I also bought a pair of pinking shears as well meters and meters of assorted elastic? The things that I forgot to get me was a bunch of assorted zips and some colored overlocker threads. Ish…never mind, I’ve already started a list of things for Mum to bring down for me. Heh.
I bought some fabric per my PP budget too for making wristlets, bags and some jammies for the step grand daughter. Now, I dare not even look at fabric. I have so much scraps don’t know what to do with them. My hubs look at them and keep shaking his head!
lol dont even get me started on scrap man… LOL eh, u can put them aside then make a quilt or patchwork blanket….even a picnic mat.
my scrap also slowly piling up ler. :/ o,o another thing u can make with scrap is this free tute called (from memory) sunday market skirt but i cant remember the name of the designer…. ted’s way passed shaking his head, he’s at the point where he wants to sell my machine off!!!
good for you, everyone needs a bit fabric theraphy
