I'm not obsessed. I promise.

Last Sunday Danny told me I needed to read Pickles. "It's a great one!" he told me. So I went and looked at it and this is what I read:

Very funny. In my defense, he has probably only come into a fabric store with me twice, and it was when I already knew what I needed. And on top of that I told him I could come back another time so he wouldn't have to, but he consented because we were driving by it anyways.

But I can't lie. There are certain fabric stores where I really could (and probably do) spend a "week" there in an afternoon (according to Earl's definition). I love just walking around looking and feeling the different fabrics, thinking of all the neat things that could be done with them.

I must admit that is one of the biggest benefits to only working until noon everyday. I have had so much time to do all kinds of fun sewing projects, and I'm lucky to have my very talented mother around to show me the tricks. With Baby William coming soon I've found all kinds of things to keep me busy. I think that I could even say that there have been times when I've let myself get carried away. Maybe. Like the time I bought that sock monkey fabric online. But it was totally worth it. I'll have to show you sometime.

And best of all, for my birthday last month Danny's awesome parents gave me a gift card to the best fabric store of them all: Material Girls. That is definitely a store where I could spend a week there in an afternoon!
