Could have done better. So I am continuing to curb my material passion to the best of my ability. Having said that - I just made a $300 purchase on sale fabrics online. Haha. Way to start the new year out right. But I really needed that white konos fabric to finish what I'm working on ;) and the rest - well, if I bought enough I got the free shipping;) make sure you post pix abut your home decor.

For me, I get so spread thin thinking about all the projects I could do....and really, it should be fun, right?

Any interest in doing a scrap swap where you trade the same size scraps, like 4.5 inch squares, and then make something out of those scraps? You could add other fabrics, especially solids or strips, or just do a simple patchwork project. I know, like we all need another project or swap to work on!Terriawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420615575308397326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-31146073603608493862012-01-04T08:46:40.588-06:002012-01-04T08:46:40.588-06:00being intentional in every area is a great goal. ...being intentional in every area is a great goal.
