You read the title right. I am giving away a little Innocent Crush. Yeah!
I have been laying low these last few months since Violet has been born. No sewing, no crafting, no me time! Just lots of nursing, lots of poo diapers, and what little time is left over is split between sleeping and maintaining a clean house. However, now that she is establishing a daytime sleep schedule and I am slowly learning to let some of the household chores ride for days at a time I am ready to jump back into my sewing with both feet. Some of you may ask, "Well what has taken you so long?" Answer: Since Violet is our last little monkey, I have been enjoying every little detail of it. Also, I have a huge mess in my sewing space and need to clean it up in order to find what I need to sew/craft the projects on my list. Lastly, I love my sleep. What free time I have been able to steal has been designated to napping. I am a slacker, I know.
Enough about me and my boring life... now what you have come here for... FREE FABRIC!
I ordered up the complete line of Innocent Crush and cut a few charm packs out of it, using my new Sizzix Big Shot. One set I mailed to a friend, one is sitting in amongst my mess of fabric, and the other I am giving away here.
All together now... Aaaaaaaawwwwww!
You will receive two 5" charms of the entire collection. That is 44 charms in all to do whatever your heart desires. All you have to do is leave a comment. That's it. It is just that simple.
Deadline for this giveaway is 10 pm (Central time) on Friday, October 22.
Winner will be announced on Saturday the 23rd.
Stay tuned for the sewing space clean up as lots of fantastic fabrics will be available.
Yeah!

New fabrics from the Heather Ross collection Macaroni Love Story.
Distributed by Spoonflower.
I have to admit. For the price of the fabric I was hoping Spoonflower would have found a better quality, better feeling quilting cotton.
Me and 3 other gals got together and order a handful of yards of the aqua colorway. The colors are mute and cute (as my 4 year old would say, "Hey that rhymes"). Reminds me a little of the Lightning Bug series, but the fabric is just a bit scratchy. I have gone through and petted many fabrics in my stash, but can not find anything to compare it to.
I do have a Spoonflower swatch packet that I ordered, and while it feels similar, the printed fabric seems a little stiffer. Maybe it is from running it through the machine for printing. So I hope it will get softer with washing. While I did enjoy the feel of the sateen a little bit more, I couldn't justify spending an extra $9 per yard on the fabric.
But hey... it's Heather Ross... and it is adorable.
Enough said.

It is shortly after midnight so this qualifies as my Friday posting. I do not know if it is insomnia or the pizza I ate at the Elbow room for dinner, but since I am up I thought I would blog for today's FFF winner.
Congrats to you KT at Metrosupial Designs! You are this month's winner.
I will get your fabric in the mail before we cut out for our family make-shift holiday.
Also wanted to share a sneak peek with you... this is what's "on my shelf".
Yummy Japanese fabrics!

So the family has been gone this last week or so on a very unexpected trip. We went to south Florida to visit with the cousins. Benjamin had a blast, mommy did a lot of fabric shopping and papa worked (what's so new about that).
I did a small bit of crafting. I made the boys some pirate patches and I say there were a huge hit.
I also found little swords, pirate chest, and strings of beads that played the roll for treasure. A week later and I still heard, "walk the plank", "scurvy pirate", "my treasure"! It was too sweet for words.
Here are a few things I picked up for myself.
I love this new magazine Stuffed. While I am not a stuffie maker, I may have to try some of the items posted in this magazine.
Oh and the Alexander Henry fabric is the real deal, not the 2009 reproduction. I love the black background. I have no idea what I will make with it, but it has to be something fun!
More later.

By now it is old news that we have moved, and moved, and moved again.
I still have not totally unpacked my craft space (maybe it is for fear we will move again, or maybe not). I am waiting on one more shelf to show up and all my craft supplies will be out and in full view. I can not wait. I mean, I have done a small amount of sewing here and there, but if I could see what I have, get my things organized, and a designated space to do it all in... life would be good.
In the meantime, I have been doing a small amount of stash equalization. What is that you ask? The simple answer: swapping.
This great piece of fabric was swapped for the same print, but in different colors.
The designer: Sandy Klopp for American Jane
The line: Peas and Carrotts
The manufacturer: Moda
Thank you Film in the Fridge!
She and I set up this sweet little swap last week. She had red... I wanted red... I had orange and yellow... she wanted orange and yellow.
Now if we could only find it in green. Anyone out there in blogland listening?

The little family has been on a little vacation the last few days.
I want to say thanks to the friendly folks at ESC for letting us crash in the company apartment in NYC for the weekend.
Now moving on (I will blog more about the trip later, but this is important stuff)...
When we returned home from our trip the postman left me a nice little box outside of our front door.
It was from my dear friend out in Seattle who was just here for a small visit herself at the beginning of the new year.
This is what she sent me.
Thanks KT! I loved every piece of it... and I can't believe you sent me some of your fantastic stash of "Paint by Numbers Birds".
xoxo

So I have been slowly unpacking my craft supplies.
Since I share a space with dear hunny bunny it is very important that everything find a place. Organization will be key to us living happily every after.
I purchased a huge stainless steel rolling rack for my craft supplies, yet they do not all fit. So what is a girl to do?
Go out and buy more fabric of course.
Here is the new Robert Kaufman "sweet tooth" print.
The pink I already had (just using it for a size reference), it is the blue that is new... and the print much smaller.
How great is that?

For those of you that know me... I love fabric!
For those of you who do not know me... I love fabric!
Here is my new addition to my stash.
From Moda American Jane's Building Block series.
This is an older print that is now out of production, but I happened to find a few colors.
Now if anyone has any red or green they would like to trade... I am game if you are!
