See that there? That's a Blueprint clipping from 19diggity7 which shows a swatch of THE PERFECT fabric for my kitchen roller shades. For two months I've had the fabric sample in my purse, but at $42.95 a yard I was having trouble bucking up the courage to up and call. There are children starving who need new shoes and all. But this morning I was sick of the swatch's high end taunting, and I finally, FINALLY, made the call to place the order. After all, that's why I have a credit card, right?
So I called up B & J Fabrics (the only resale source for the fabric that I've been able to track down), and now it looks like they may be out of stock. Well. Of course they are.
I'm calling upon the powers of the blogosphere to aid me in sending good thoughts and unicorns to B & J's so that they will call back with good news tomorrow. Just in case my embroidered linen world crumbles, does anyone out there have any suggestions for another source? Perhaps a suitable replacement? The fate of my kitchen is in your hands!

As previously stated, it is FREEZING in Oklahoma this weekend. No really... there is literally a sheet of ice blanketing the entire world. I haven't been able to feel my big toe since Friday morning. Sometimes it's nice to be forced indoors all weekend. I drank three pots of coffee a day and got a lot of sewing done. Yay for manic, caffeine enduced creativity.
This doll was made using the Purl Rabbit Pattern that is very generously posted free of charge on The Purl Bee blog. As you can probably tell. I modified it a bit (lack of being a rabbit, for one).Labels: craft, fabric, sewing

Beautiful fabric from Japanese designer Shinzi Katoh available at Superbuzzy.com... but not for long. As of this posting there's only one left. So hurry! Quick!
One meter of fabric for $19.95 would be hard for me to justify. Not to mention that the package would sit on my shelf indefinitely, since I would certainly be too intimidated by its rarity to use it. But you should buy it, cause it's fantastic. And you should make fantastic things from it.Labels: craft, design, fabric, indie shops, sewing, shopping
