Love it but it keeps me from my little lake front condo where I spend every momemt sewing or enjoying a gin tonic on the deck with my odd friends, I collect people and good conversation. Love laughing and lifes irony. Rather shop in athrift shop than a dept store any day.

And by the way, there is no such thing as ugly fabric, some is just not as pretty as others!! Thanks so much for the swap and the goodies. I know I will come up with something to do with all of the lovelies.
