Last week I was picking up my superbuzzy order, a perk of living in Portland, and coerced Mariko into selling me this amazing fabric that she hadn't put up for sale yet (it is available now!). . .I felt guilty about it later. I mean really, I am so pushy and wanty, but I had to have it and it's her fault (partly) for telling me new stock had come in. . .anyhoo, my thought was to make something up in it and post it in all it's wonderful glory lickty-split, so I could gloat (again with the immaturity) that I had this awesome fabric before it was on sale. . . .then I got stuck. It's so good. Too good. I normally don't get so funny about special fabric. I do have a bit that I can't seem to cut into and I just stare at, but only about 3 pieces. This one, and these two here. So. I am doubly lame. I am pushy AND indecisive. But at least I am showing how cool it is, right? I just keep patting it and refolding it. Good lord.
On a linky note, Hillary tipped me off to this amazing artist Amy Earles (wool and water on flickr) last week. Um, hi. . .this is so incredibly cool it's making me go crazy. Crazy I tell you--and her paper dolls also make me crazy. And Jennifer Murphy has updated her site and I can't stop looking at it, especially her gallery page. So very inspiring.
I started a Fall jacket for Sadie and have a sweater, petticoat, and dress cut out and waiting in the wings. This is making me jumpy because I really need to finish up mailorder first. My hope to to get it on sale this month and ready to mail by October at the latest because there is Halloween time sensitive material in this one. . .
