Fun new fabric
As I am sure many people can relate ... I have a serious fabric obsession. I sometimes can't help but purchase it!! If only the budget was limitless.
I also love reading other people's blogs, and today I came across some really fun fabric that I just had to order. It's from a lady who's blog is called The Silly BooDilly. I will try to post a link ...
The Silly BooDilly
(I can't believe that worked)
Anyway, she has some original fabric of her own design from Spoonflower. That might just be the coolest thing ever. I may just have to try that one day. Not now, but one day.
So anyway, I ordered some ... since I am so new at this whole blog thing = I am not sure how - or even if I am allowed to post pictures from her blog. Maybe I will figure it out one day. If you look through her blog - I ordered the blue bells and the orange grove. She shows pictures in a post on October 23, 2009. Very cool!!!

Grocery bags for Christmas
Okay ... so I have been a busy little bee ... but without making excuses, this blogging thing is going to be a "when I get a chance kinda thing". I can't believe how many people out there are so dedicated. Where do you find the time ????
Anyway ... Sew mama sew, has a little contest going on. Some really nice prizes, and all you have to do it make and give away at least 5 grocery bags. You should really go over and check out the site, and if you have any time, whip up a few bags.
I made some "paper bag" totes from Oh Fransson! They were very easy to make, and I will be using them instead of wrapping up gifts.
At this point .. I have no idea how to post pictures!!! I think this may work:
I actually got this fabric at Ikea for a ridiculously low price ... $9.99 for 10metres!!!! Can you even believe it??
I wish now that I had gotten more ... but ... I didn't. And of course, I went back 3 or 4 days later, and there was none left.
Now I am going to have to be a stalker in the fabric deptartment at ikea.
Anyhoo .. I am off to make dinner. If I am not back before the holidays, it's because I am a busy bee.

Brand new blog
So ... a day in the life of val ... not sure who will be interested, but I really enjoy reading other peoples blogs - so who knows??? Maybe someone will be interested in me!!
I am brand new to this blog thing, and not sure where it will go. I feel a little intimidated, and honestly, I started this blog because I want to enter some giveaways (is that wrong??). I have no idea what I am doing, so it may take some time
I will try my best to get this set up and enter posts ....
