Me + Mood 4eva

I *heart* Mood. If it was a person I’d marry it and we’d have gorgeous fabric babies and live happily ever after. But it's a shop so that is just crazy talk.
I spent a fab few hours in there with my Mother dearest, me mostly running (ish) up and down the cotton aisle looking for dress fabric, throwing desparate looks at the gorgeous jersey knits that I haven't a clue how to sew and Mama ogling the silks. Unfortunately I am still a knee cripple after surgery so I couldn’t stay in there as long as I wanted but I did get some super snazzy fabric for two dresses. I wanted to go back another day but it was closed (a good thing in the end as I was 3.5kgs over my luggage allowance as it was).

I did also meander over to City Quilter to get some other bits and found this little selection of awesomeness.

These bad boys are destined to be a house warming gift for my BFF

 I’m thinking of starting a campaign to get Mood to open a London branch. Who’s with me?

P.S. Does Swatch the dog only show up when the Project Runway crew are there? I've been into that shop at least four times and have never seen evidence of said canine.

A bit of everything, but really nothing

It's all pretty quiet on the western front; have been doing a bit of sewing (just the binding to go on the baby quilt now), a bit of cross stitch (Christmas one should be done this week), a bit of knee surgery (chopping out some cartilage, yuck) and a bit of fabric shopping:

ROAR! Take that, building! *breathes fire*

Plus a LOT of reading and biscuit eating. And working, boo.
