Fabric Fever

Yesterday at the Portsmouth Fabric Company:

How I wish the camera did not jet off on my parents' camping trip! But alas, I am without it, so I can't take a picture of the absolutely GORGEOUS Amy Butler fabrics I got yesterday. Most are from her "Belle" collection, which I still love, even if it's not the newest one. I saw her new Midwest Modern collection too, and while I like the patterns and shapes, I'm not nuts about the pastels. I also got a peek at her Nigella home dec collection, and the fabrics in the "Water" palette are just GORGEOUS. I just love her fabric in general. But I can't buy a truckload of $10-a-yard fabric, so I had to settle for a yard of two of them and then fat quarters of the other four I liked. I'll hopefully have some new items posted on my etsy. It still looks like winter on there! I also plan to take a photo of my pretty fabric when the camera comes back, so it will be here on Tuesday or so!

Regarding the Chanel Exam:

I got a 100! Wowee! Luckily I impressed our Regional whatever-she-is, Patty. I forgot to mention that at the Chanel Basic School, my astuteness impressed the Education Executive such that she e-mailed a bunch of people in the company about me, and went so far as to say that I was the kind of person they were looking for at Chanel, and that she couldn't wait to see me grow in the company! I was very happy, so I hope it doesn't sound like I'm tooting my own horn-- it's just nice to have people see that kind of potential in me!

As soon as I have something created with those lovely fabrics, you better believe I'll be posting it!
