i could just quilt myself to death.

i have historically enjoyed sewing. like paper crafting, sewing provides one with the opportunity to make something from nothing and express style and creativity. however, fabric at michael's or joanne's is usually fairly dismal. usually pretty fugly if you ask me. i'm not that down with calico bs that some people use. not so much.

what i am down with is this:

this beautiful little swatch of fabric comes to you from the finlandia collection at freespiritfabric, and oh my do they have some gorgeous gorgeous fabrics.

question: do i look like someone real friendly or something? i am constantly having to talk to people in public who i don't know. for instance, this woman at the laundry facility today just kept striking up conversations, even though it was pretty obvi i was real into my people mag and catalog. it's ok, though, she was nice.

fact: laundry detergent does freeze, so do not keep it in your car if you live in a place where it is cold and stuff.
