I Love My Fabrics!

Well I finally ordered some fabrics from Gotham Quilts and Hawthorne Threads to get me started on some projects for my craft show. They are two awesome shops. I ordered two fabrics from Gotham Quilts and they arrived on Saturday - two days later

and I ordered six fabrics from Hawthorne Threads and they arrived on Monday.

I've got lots of ideas - Thank You Pinterest! - so now I need to sit down and start sewing!

In a weeks time Philly will be hosting The Pope and although we don't live in downtown Philadelphia we will be impacted by thousands of visitors travelling to and from the City. So with that in mind and the fact that Hubby will not be able to go to work we have decided to take a mini vaca. Originally we were thinking of going to San Francisco but as usual we've left booking our flight and hotel a little late and the cost keeps increasing! So now I'm trying to come up with some other ideas. I really want to fly somewhere but we don't really know where to go! I'll let you know what we decide.

Today we had some work done on our pool decking. A few years ago a large tree fell and landed on the decking pushing some parts lower than others. Today it was fixed and for the first time since living here, everything is even. Over the next couple of weeks we should be getting the pool tile replaced so next year it will be like swimming in a brand new pool! It's very exciting!

Here are my photo-a-day pix for the week

The first pic is of a hanger I saw at Forever 21. Next is a very fluffy weed! The bags are what I made for a previous craft show. The Chocolate Orange Jellies are delish from Trader Joe's. A couple of peppers left on one of my pepper plants. Some yummy Marmite and lastly my Crunchie that Twinnee had sent me.

I hope you're enjoying the fall like weather. We're still seeing lots of sun and warm temps and hopefully that will last a little longer.
Have a great week. Until next time...
