now for the major "A LOT OF THAT"
about a month and 1/2 ago i made a large fabric purchase - large for me - i bought yardage of the whole Make Life line & i didn't even feel bad about it, but i made a deal with myself
fabric purchases would be kept to a minimum between then and my annual trip to Sisters
needless to say that did not last long
*******
i went to Spokane this week for meetings and a doc apt and came home with this


2 charm packs, a jelly roll and some yardage - no idea what i am going to do with it but i love it

poked some buttons on my laptop and the yardage above showed up at my house this week

Piece N Quilt was having a sale - what can i say? and some of it is Make Life...

these 2 came from my Spokane trip - plans to make a bag with them

this was in the clearance hall - pj pants

this came from JoAnns - skirt

*******

So during these past few weeks there has been a little winning going on and a LOT of projects to do and purchases made

*******

i hope you all enjoy the long weekend and check back next week to see what i got done on my list of to dos.......
