Today, I invested in my creative growth and spent several hours reading. A wonderful way to pamper myself!
I have two Kaffe Fassett books, Glorious Knits and Patchwork, that I drool over from time to time. I haven't looked at his new books but I did recently visited his website - I love his passion for color. I saw these fabrics bundle at my local quilt store, didn't even look at the fabric, just saw his name and in a moment of weakness...
PostSecret: lazy impulse shopping - no remorse.
Creative every day: 8 of 365 done!
Now what?
I haven't opened up the fabric bundles, I'll do that tomorrow. I'm eager to see if just looking at the fabric inspires me to make something. I haven't bought fabric in a while. Eighteen fat quarters, I'm feeling a little guilty but I'll get over it.
For now:
Read some more, work Friday's NYTimes crossword and watch a half hour of Planet Earth (a gift from my oldest daughter.)

What a very nice day! I have yet to buy any Kaffe Fasset, because I have way to much fabric, but I like his things more and more. It will be fun to see what you do with them.
What a great way to spend a day. Those are GORGEOUS fabrics!
Oh, yes, you'll get over it! You will be grateful you indulged in your impulse buy as you use them in your work. Lovely colors!
Kay - Ha! ...way too much fabric ... that's what I said as I was reaching for the credit card. I'm still in fabric-lust with them. I just want to hold them, and look at the patterns and colors (and sigh.)
Rian - yes, gorgeous... I've already confessed to fabric-lust!
Jenclair - yep, over the impulse buy but still in the ah-pretty-colors-special-fabric trance and have not yet allowed them to mingle with my other fabric.
