last week i purchased my first japanese fabric. from bee square fabrics. i think i found a new favorite on-line fabric shop. (check out the sale section, too!) oh, and please don't blame me if you blow your grocery budget on fabric. :)
So you blew the food budget Amanda? Well yeah, been there done that myself! I see fabric and my eyes glaze over and something clicks in my brain, before I know it, there is more fabric than food! Your pieces are so pretty!
My grocery budget is ALWAYS spent on fabric--my husband just hasn't noticed yet. Hey--then why haven't I lost any weight!? Great fabric. I'll go look. :)
I still have not purchased my first Japanese fabric, so I better stay away from that shop cuz your fabrics are adorable! Do you know what you're going to make yet?
i wasn't going to look at their sale section, but I am a sucker for sales and now have blown the grocery budget.. :) We may starve, but at least my house will look cute!
oh you're headed down a slippery slope now! I stumbled upon Japanese fabrics a couple of months ago and have a full blown bonafide obsession! My weakness is the linen; and wait until you get hooked on the sewing tape/trim! I have the cutest Matroyshka doll linen tape that I fondle occasionally but will not cut... superbuzzy is wonderful too...
so funny! i totally do that. i think, okay, we can go without that this week, so i can buy a bit more crafting supplies. somebody always notuces, though. i love, love that fabric! can't wait to see what you make with it.
I love sales! My local shop is online too. They let me buy online and pick up in person so I don't have to shop with my kids! It's a beautiful world! Check out their end of the bolt stuff, ericas.com It's always changing and 40% off!
Oh, these are cute! Possibly cuter than ones from MY favorite online fabric shop? (I have some Alice in Wonderland cuteness I'm going to use for a camera strap cover)
Ooooohh pretty! I am in love with those cute japanese fabrics and would probably go nuts if given half a chance. This is one example of why I'm glad my husband keeps a tight rein on our budget...it keeps me honest. Honest but covetous.
Oh man, I'm so addicted to this cute japanese fabric! Been buying it for a while now - and bee square is a great store. I like lucky Kaeru too, on etsy. Enjoy!
Great fabrics! I recently got some Japanese fabric from superbuzzy. I'll have to check out this new site now too.
ReplyDeleteWhat grocery budget? We have to eat? Since when?

Well then I am in good company because I just purchased my FIRST japanese fabric from Bee Square too; mine should be here any day now.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, ooooh, whatcha gonna make Ms. Crazy??? Those are beeeeuuuuteeeful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun fabric. I got a Japanese craft book as a prize and love the neat patterns they have.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
oh my heck...they are addicting. watch out!!!
ReplyDeleteListen, I just do as I'm told. I looked there because you told me to.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I purchased three fabrics I totally do not need, but completely want.
I have no will or strength when up against fabulous fabric. Also, I can't believe that I had never seen this site before.
Tina
I wouldn't have been able to resist either!
ReplyDeleteMy local quilting shop is having a retirement sale - all fabric 35% off - needless to say, I have no grocery budget left anyway.
I love sales! My local shop is online too. They let me buy online and pick up in person so I don't have to shop with my kids! It's a beautiful world! Check out their end of the bolt stuff, ericas.com It's always changing and 40% off!
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices. Check my blog for some interesting hints and ideas for Asian fabrics. As you will see, I'm hooked on anything Asian.
ReplyDeleteOh, these are cute! Possibly cuter than ones from MY favorite online fabric shop?
ReplyDelete(I have some Alice in Wonderland cuteness I'm going to use for a camera strap cover)
I did not need that temptation... (LUckily I just got back from a quilt show & am still feeling the effects of that shopping spree.)
ReplyDeleteDang. Thanks to you, I just bought more fabric. Cleared out their last two yards of a Heather Bailey Sway and got some other good Amy Butler to boot.
ReplyDeleteOoooohh pretty! I am in love with those cute japanese fabrics and would probably go nuts if given half a chance. This is one example of why I'm glad my husband keeps a tight rein on our budget...it keeps me honest. Honest but covetous.
ReplyDeleteyou picked out some really cute ones! i have some of the ducks, but might need to get some of the bunnies!
ReplyDeleteMan, oh man, they are cute!!!
ReplyDeleteit's a slippery slope...you're on your way! love these..i haven't taken the plunge yet, but i sure have looked a bunch!
ReplyDeletecute fabric! She has a really nice store
ReplyDeleteaww.. they are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI've bought some japanese fabric... from Japan! I LOVE IT! So fun, and unique to the US :-) Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm a total sucker for these Japanese prints. Thank goodness (on behalf of my wallet) that I don't sew.
ReplyDeleteoh no, there's no turning back now. Once you start, there's no going back. so adorable.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, I will have to check it out and pinch my self to keep from buying some for a while.
