I haven't been blogging much, mainly because I've been reading so many blogs. Gathering inspiration, finding cool new tutorials to add to my bookmarked list....of which I really need to start cutting down once I print something.
It's been a slow week. Still working on my Hexie project, of which I haven't uploaded the pictures for yet HA!
Been itching to order some fabrics after seeing everyone posting about new fabric lines and discount offers....only I've been banned!!!
How can you be banned from buying fabric you ask? Simple....at 7-8 or so in the morning well after you leave to go to work ( I leave at half five-ish) everyone else is still at home asleep! Your mother and younger brother leave next. Which then leaves your Father and Older Brother....both of which are still in bed. The post-man rings the bell...loudly your Father claims and he and your brother have to rush downstairs to answer it......I really didn't order that much...
Half the items were in flat envelopes which could have been posted through the letter box, but postmen like to be awkward and ring the bell!! Plus all the items were delivered within a week or so!
So now when sitting peacefully on your laptop your Father comes and harasses you asking if you're ordering anything and not leaving till he is convinced you aren't .......tempting you to order something just to get on his nerves. HA!!
My fabric stash is seriously dwindling.....sure I can check out charity shops and buy sheets and such...but they are just not the same as that gorgeous designer fabric.....Men will never understand a quilters need for such things!!
Ha, Cherie, I just logged on before I left for work and this popped up. In my house it isn't a man, it is my children. Mom, you said we don't have any money, why is there fabric? It's my birthday money present to myself. Mom, you shouldn't spend that on fabric. LOL Only other quilters understand.
ReplyDeleteHa; my husband teasingly threatens to ban me from fabric purchases too ;>) He works and I stay home with the kids so he's "usually" not here when the packages come; however, a couple of Saturdays ago, one came while he was working outside and he decided to have some fun by not letting me have it immediately....you know how you just can't wait to open them up and ooh and aah over the fabric, etc....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if you haven't, try entering fabric giveaways on the blogs and fabric sites. I've been entering for only about 6 weeks but I've won twice (almost 7 yards of fabric in fat quarters so far)....a lot less than I've entered to win but still nice since it was free ;>)
