Shouldn't have

I shouldn’t have done that.

9 yards of this fabulous linen
with trees
and a cow
and a bridge and cars

Of all the things I should be doing yesterday, like tons of laundry, working on a piece with a deadline, and preparing hand work for Easter family time, shopping was not even on the list. Yet I’m sitting here with yards of new and thrifty fabric and yarn and big rolls and small rolls of fibre that’s neither fabric nor paper. It reminds me a little of Lutradur, so I’m guessing polyester something. Some rolls are definitely felt which I hope can take the heat from the iron; the sales lady had no idea.
I do need a bit of change, and think my new purchases will be fun to play with. Some of them are already destined for specific projects, so that makes me feel a little better about the unplanned and unnecessary shopping spree.

Most of the fabric went into the washing machine before I got the camera out, but look at these – how could I resist this red table cloth
or these adorable dogs on a French designer duvet cover?
I’m back on the list this morning though. Boooring…
