today was the day i was greatly anticipating a huge (for me!) fabric delivery from the big brown truck. 120 yards of beautiful prints!
in the past, i have anxiously looked out the window every 10 minutes all. day. long. waiting for him to pull up in front of my house and deliver fresh new bolts of uncut pristine fabric just waiting to be rolled around in neatly stacked in my studio;) only several times the truck didn't come by until after dinner, or worse still--one time the lovely fabric made it all the way to my hometown and the ups personnel scanned the wrong barcode and sent it back to south carolina (where it came from) instead of putting it on the truck that would have stopped at my house. very disappointing. indeed.
today i was determined NOT to be so anxious and act like my children on christmas eve. after all, anything could happen and it may not even arrive today.
the kids and i had a lovely day! after lunch, i settled down on the sofa with my 3 yr. old littlie to read a few books and with quite a herculean effort managed to stay awake til the last sentence! {nothing can make me sleepier than reading to my kids after lunch...it calls for either an espresso or a nap, pronto!} my snuggly little girl and i decided to just cuddle and close our eyes for a second...
and then my 10 yr. old screams mommy! your fabric is here! the ups man is bringing up a huge box!
naturally i was immediately refreshed and hopped up so quickly that i almost deposited my little girl right on the floor!
i am impressed, mr. brown truck delivery guy! thank you for being so early on a fabric day:)
i called my friend to come take a look at the yards of new textile lovliness, and she commented on each one and wished me a happy fabric day! although, she did wonder if i had projects in mind for some of these prints...??
nope. i buy what i like and think about what to make with it after it arrives and lastly consider if it is anyone else's taste and would even sell in my fabric shop:) a little backwards, i know, but there it is.
and now....the fabrics....
 |
| sinister swarm in flour {these are moths!} |
 |
| sundials in happy |
 |
| cell structure in americana |
 |
| migratory lace in seaweed |
 |
| field study coordinate in saffron {so cool with the arrows} |
 |
| mind's eye in tambourine |
 |
| fine feathered in whisper {really, how lovely is this?} |
 |
| specimen in struck {huge and awesome print!} |
now i just have to discipline myself to finish all of the work on my plate (4 custom orders this week) before i cut into this! that kind of stinks, but it does make for excellent work motivation:)

Motivation in the form of fabric is always a fun thing!
