fabric for addicts

Well, friends, I'm glad I'm not participating in a certain challenge (though I could probably really benefit). I was in a fabric store on Monday ($5 grab bags!!!), bought some delicious fabrics online on Tuesday, and ended up at JoAnne's again on Friday with my new friend Lary. She's pregnant and I seized the opportunity to have someone to quilt for immediately (cause I'm giving that way) and offered to make her baby a blankie.

Irritatingly, she's not finding out if she's having a boy or a girl, so unisex was the order of the day when we chose fabrics. We settled on a vintage Americana theme, and I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THESE FABRICS! If only I didn't have to focus on finding a job and do silly things like "grocery shopping" and "cooking dinner"...

Anyways, as soon as there's a break in the depressing job search routine, I'll be quilting.

The Day After

I've returned home with a slight case of road trip induced ADD-like symptoms. I have a ton of ideas which prevent me from sitting still (or getting anything done really), but I'm too restless to think anything through before starting a project - not the shape you want to be in when you cut into a piece of fabric!
So I'm ridding the house of its many dust bunnies and doing laundry while dreaming of our mini-vacation which went by in such a blur. I'm also dreaming of Duke the horse's nose which is so incredibly soft. Too bad I can't bottle that softness - I'd make millions! (You see what I'm saying about the ton of ideas? Not all of them are good - as a matter of fact, I think most of them are pretty nutty.)
I think I'm overdue for a nap.
