204: certified fresh daily

Hey, how is your weekend going?

I went to bed really early  last night (9 pm!) and then this morning I went to yoga for the first time in 3 weeks.  It felt great. I hate it when I miss class for that long, though. I am going to be a hurtin' puppy tomorrow, that is for sho.

As promised , some of my fabric score from last week's estate sales:

I am not usually crazy about blue paired with yellow, but I like this:

The metallic gold which looks great with the blue, don't you think? While we're on the topic,
how do you feel about metallics on quilting fabric? You know, just curious...

I really like the thick outline on this one:

>>>>Oh, hey, don't forget to leave a comment on my 200th post- and maybe some of these fabrics will be yours! I will randomly choose the winner of The 200th Post Giveaway on the morning of Friday, June 6th.<<<<

So, can you believe my score from last weekend? All those vintage patterns and the fabric- and this is just the blue fabric! Actually, it is just some of the blue fabric!

Plus, there was other stuff, like this:

That brief-case-toting (???) running baby is from this:

Yeah, I don't get it either, but I do love it.

Ceramic rooster, plastic deer, and in the background ---a bacon press:

I don't eat bacon, but damn, it does smell good.
I may be  overusing this rooster, but I don't care:

Instructions on how to make a sock elephant:

And a sock monkey!

Do you see that in the upper right there? It says "optional hats."
I don't think that fez is optional at all. That fez is necessary.

I haven't told you about our thing for fez-monkeys yet, have I?

Oh, we have a lot to talk  about.

I love the blue fabrics.....you had a great haul! I don't really like the gold glitzy stuff added to cottons, but my wife Linda LOVES it on most things....
It is good to get back to excercise when you have been away, even though the next day kills...it is a good aching, eh?
Here's hoping you have a great Sunday!

I like metallic in quilting fabrics -I just never know how to use it :-) Another thing I like is glow in the dark! But I guess metallics, for me at least, work best in children- or Christmas-prints, and glow-in-the-dark works best in haloween-, children- or star-prints!
Did that make sense?

Melissa,

You are one of the coolest, most creative people in the Universe.

Love you,

Love love the blue check with the stitching and ric-rac!

Oh, you've mentioned the monkey with a fez thing before. Perhaps in conjunction with pottery. =)

I love the aqua and yellow and the pink rick-rack. So pretty.

Love the blue fabrics! The tiny floral is my favorite.
Oh, and that rick rack on gingham...too cute.

I'm off to check out the 200th post giveaway...
