Naughty Me !

What did I say? 1st September was going to see me being a good girl and Not Buying A Single Centimetre of Fabric.

How long did it last? 13 days!

Seriously, I needed purple fabric for Tamzin's quilt and black for The Latest Idea, some black bias binding for the wallhanging/abstract fabric project and a delve in the remnants box for white cotton for dying practice.


So this is where we went yesterday afternoon.




Fabric Warehouse, Javerlhac





I wanted to take a photo of the brilliant mural on the wall outside, but chickened out.

And to round this post off - I think I've taken the best photo of Alex of all time (except for one cross cat!).

    Well you lasted half the time. And I loved the 'need' comment!

    Oh yes, my cat looks like that too when I pick him up! I reckon you're right Clare - there's definitely Bengal in your puss!

    Everyone needs a regular dose of fabric to stay sane. Wonderful picture even if the cat is crabby.

    That cat is NOT impressed! LOL
    You do realize that know that you've mentioned there is a fantastic mural, you'll "need" to go back and get that picture...which of course might led to more fabric shopping.. :o) I'm evil aren't I?!

    Fabric diets are the worst! You did great, 13 days without buying! That’s 13 times € ...?? Alex is a lovely girl!

    Great photo of your daughter and the cat, ok, I kind of like the seriously annoyed cat -- it's, well, typical! Love the tye dye (bleached) piece, I'd claim it too! Have fun dying -- and I wouldn't worry so much about the break in the fabric diet, um, they were NECESSARY purchases!

    I see a loophole.

    Did you buy "a single centimeter" of fabric?

    Or did you instead buy MANY centimeters of fabric?

    As long as it wasn't just a single centimeter, you're fine!

    That's a great picture even if the cat isn't that thrilled.
