NeW fAbRiC...

It was a great day yesterday. Look what arrived...

I got some fabric on a whim, as a late Christmas present for myself. I got it from fabric.com, because it had all the fabric that I wanted, but I prefer to order from etsy. Fabric.com just shoves messily folded fabric into a plastic bag and ships it. Etsy stores aren't as commercial. :)

organizing...yet again Part 2

ok, yea, i know. it's been awhile. but I finally got enough motivation to post these pictures of my washed, ironed, folded, and color- coded fabric.... now that i'm finally am doing it, i'm realizing that it's not as big of a chore as i'm making it out to be. :)

The flowers were really pretty at this time, so I did an outside photo shoot to see the colors better, and to capture the flowers in bloom. :)

What I figured out after going through all my fabric:

• too many cool colors (green, blue, purple)
• too few warm colors (red, orange, yellow)
• just enough neutral (brown, tan, black, and white)

And this is what resulted from all of this oraganizing:

A great big bowl of thread and unusable scraps. Unless there's something that you can do with them (if there is please tell me) other than throwing them away, that would be nice, but I'm feeling that these poor guys are going into the garbage... :)

organizing...yet again Part 1

i have no life. Since i had just organized my fabric by color, i decided that i needed to wash all my fabric. well, all my fabric minus felt, fleece, and other furry/silky fabrics. i ended up with two huge clothes baskets of fabric. yes, two of these huge baskets.

Pictures of the fabric trimmed of its loose threads, ironed, and neatly folded away are to follow.

Here are some more random pictures:

Watermelons in Michigan? I must be dreaming! :)

I don't know why I like this picture... I guess it reminds me of heaven. Where everything is white, clean, and pretty.... :)

I'd like to know what this picture reminds you of, so please comment!
