Any crafter/sewer must, at one time or another, admit to a wee bit of an addiction to fabric and prints. Well, today's the day! My name is Kerry and I'm a fabric addict.
I try not to feed this addiction too much but yesterday I visited my local fabric shop of choice, the aladdin's cave of material. *swoon* I
had to go to the shop as I've been asked to make another of my royal wedding tea cosies and required the fabric. I was very good though and before I went I did a quick inventory of my stash and earmarked the 'good bits' to become various things which I want to make. So while I was in the shop I made myself stick to the shopping list of royal wedding fabric, wadding, calico, wooden buttons and ribbons for my projects. I was most impressed with myself when I got to the til and realised I only bought one thing that wasn't on my list!!
(this is probably beacause I didn't let myself even look at anything else in the shop!) This is it:
 |
| Medium sized cupcake print - perfect for a new product idea I've had! |
These are my selections from my current stash for some new projects and new product ideas for the Princess Crafts shop:
The photos are a bit rubbish on account of it being so bloomin' dark today!
 |
| Shoes and handbags on blue background |
 |
| Kitchen equipment - retro and modern at the same time |
 |
| Musical notes |
 |
| Lime green birides on grey background - scrummy! |
 |
| Teeny tiny ballet shoes in vibrant pink |
 |
| Ballerina fairies - I wish this was wallpaper for my office! |
I did feed my addiction but managed to do it in a controlled manner, so go me!
