I heart mail

When you live in a foreign country, you know one person and your friends are flakey...mail is an exciting thing. Today I received my cute little sewing kit from Jenn Maruska Design and I..LOVE..IT! I'm a big fan of polka dots anyway, but this kit is tooo cute. I can't wait to add it to my monkey making bag to hold my needles. Thanks Jenn & good luck at the show this weekend, I hope you sell everything!


And take a look at what else the postie brought me this week...part of the new Peas & Carrots collection from American Jane for Moda. Another one I've been anxiously awaiting. I really love these colors, the daisies especially. I got about 6 prints from the collection from Fat Quarter Shop and I'm expecting more from another shop. It's a little slow in arriving so far, sigh. That just means I'll get something next week too....I hope.
These fabrics will become a new Catie Diaper Bag for my shops. It might be after the move though. Not sure how much sewing I'll be doing this week. :(

Fabric rules!

I'm totally addicted, not that this is a new thing. Why do these companies keep coming up with all of this great stuff? Do they think I'm made of money?

This is my latest "favorite" line of fabric. It's Building Blocks by American Jane for Moda. I love their stuff. I bought the whole fat quarter collection, which isn't cheap. Now I'm just trying to figure out what to do with it. Maybe a couple different zipper pouches or baby bibs. I've been wanting to add floppy hats to my site, you know, for kids? I think these fabrics would be great for kids products, or for teachers. The colors are great and the images too. I happen to have a weakness for vintage so this line is right up my alley. Here's an idea...how about a patchworky diaper bag using a bunch of these prints? I guess I know what I'm going to do today.

Anyway, check out my website to see a ton of fabrics that I have available for special orders. Just look at a product & you'll see the fabric choices.
