I can't sew right now.
My coworker's mom passed away and I've done 8 weeks of overtime plus mgmt's "you're a crap employee" talk twice now - once on overtime to the tune of $75 to listen (ha) to "blahblahblah" and don't even get me started about the heat that has stricken western Oregon.
Fortunately for me, I have air conditioning, so I can catch up on some blog reading.
Kadiddlehopper is on my "C" list; blogs I like to keep an eye on to see if they continue being interesting. She made a t-shirt out of this knit. I fell into lust. I wanted this fabric. Beautiful blue background with lighter tone sewing machines and cute little hearts in the scissor borders.
I clicked the link which led to a UK shop, so I chased down a US seller, and half-an-hour later, paypal'ed my own sewing machine knit fabric.
It came with a little note saying a swatch had been cut into the fabric and she sent *extra*.
Knit from Lillestoff - out of Germany, I think.
Very soft, very nice next to the skin.
I have a yard and a half to pet.
These are the far out pinking shears I found last Saturday at an estate sale.
My estate sale 'runner' usually hangs out in the Woodburn area so it was a surprise to see her in the Portland Gateway area.
Which, oddly enough, is near my favorite fabric store, Fabric Depot.
Her sale advertised the usual estate stuff plus YARN. Yes there was boat loads of yarn and just a wee bit of sewing notions.
These are still sharp and I love the blades. They give off that "we mean business" vibe.
$5.00.
Also found, biggest covered buttons ever.
$2 ziploc -selling the rest of the notions.
I have a purpose for these if I can find the darn tutorial again.
And I just asked my creative friend if she had any jump rings on her.
hah - I find everything at garage sales.
Look at these cool tweezers. One can never have enough tweezers in life. . . or is that sewing machines. . . or is that scissors. . . patterns. . .fabric. . .
