Feeding the crafting fire

Although no sewing, other than wedding sewing, has happened around here lately due to a shortage of supplies --which should hopefully come to an end soon, fingers crossed! -- sewing and crafting has definitely been on my mind.

I have been stocking up on supplies for some new projects (yeah, to add to my already large to do list!) like some more towels to make some more of these as gifts. As well as...

I hadn't realized it, but since I arrived back in Vancouver, In lieu of sewing I've been quietly creating a new fabric stash... quite innocently collected from various locations like the quilt show, and my recent trip to Fabricana.

Take a Seat

I have a confession to make... I am not a shoe addict like many women, but I do have a weird love of chairs. Although we have plenty more than enough chairs in our house, I can't help wandering past a design store window, hello Callebert and Knoll I'm talking about you!!, or looking in interiros magazines, and secretly dreaming of all the beautiful chairs and where I could put them in my house. If I could, I'd totally smuggle them into the house, and then bring it out a few months later and try the whole "what this ol' thing, I've had it for ages..." line. Unfortunatly, our storage closet isn't that big!

H has put me on a bit of a chair ban... (don't really blame him, as we have more than we could possibly sit on!), but I think he'd let me get away with putting some of this , in our house...
