Things I bought...

This weekend was the annual Creative Festival at the local merchandise mart.  I try to go every year, and this year, I met up with a buddy and her daughter- who is just a few months older than Princess Girl.  I think it's safe to say a new friendship bloomed!  It was an interesting shopping experience too- MF is a crazy quilter, and so she bought from booths I don't think I've ever even noticed!  My eyes are opened wider!  And, we got to visit with Kari and see the newly revealed Mountain Peek Creation, Peaks and Valleys (so new it's not on the site yet, but look what is!)

I however, went crazy on traditional fabric.  It was a fire sale sort of deal- store closed due to family circumstances, all fabric at their booth was- wait for it- sit down- are you ready?  $5.25 a yard.

Yes, even the 2 Kaffes, 2 Jane Sassman's, and the batiks! Really!  Not to mention the additional 10% off on the bolt ends- of which I had 3...  And a gorgeous hand marbled FQ.

And 2 books at 40% off cover price.  $140 later...  I rescued MF from having to watch both our tired kids, and drug myself home.  Oh, wait- I forgot- I also bought yarn.

2 skeins of Prism Yarns Galaxy in Midnight.  These skeins are irregular- the silver puckers a bit- and so were $11 each instead of $25!  Score- I actually think the puckers look nifty.  I'm thinking a drop stitch scarf for me, or, any ideas, anyone?

Dang....you did well! I like them all. Wish I could find all that at 5.25 A YARD!

Here's hoping you are staying warm and kids are on the mend.
