Fabric Wish List and What a Day!!

So today a wonderful friend looked after Miss 2, and I got to experience being in shops ALONE. I had both eyes and hands, and got a little carried away...

I went to Addicted to Fabric, one of the only fabric stores in Canberra, and what I wanted was sold out, so I borrowed these images from their website, here.


The black and white mushrooms of Mushroom City here are lots of fun, and may need to sub-let some space in my stash...

I went to get some Leo the Lion shown front here, but they had run out! So sad. Anyone seen any on-line?


I walked away with this Joel Dewberry that I was drooling over, and also this (Amy Butler?).


The first will be a bag and a book cover, the second a cushion for the caravan!

I got home, and realised that there was still 2 hours until Miss 2 came home! I popped to the local op-shop and found these buttons 10c each (sorry for crappy photo):


And this skein of mohair for $1 (I gave her $2 as there's heaps on there!!)


And then played with some embroidery patterns in my head:

Another bad photo - I used my phone... It's the faraway tree - we're reading The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton for the 3rd time this year... The porcupine is NOT a poo with feet (Master 6 wasn't sure if it was a poo with feet or a wombat). I was laughing as I took this, hence the blur!

I also got to finish off a ball of wool learning to crochet, with thanks to the much-blogged-about-Miss-Ruth (now what do I do Ruth?!)

Whipped up a little buttony loveliness for myself:


And drew up a picture I want to try embroidering:

Can you see through the blur!? My phone is due to be upgraded - I must make sure that the camera is a good one!

Miss 2 STILL wasn't home, so I knitted for a while. Of course when she did get home she had to go straight to bed due to extreme fatigue, so I knitted my beanie for an hour.

What a day!!
