Scrap Fabulous

I had two Fabscrap orders on backorder since they shut down for the holidays (which I knew would happen because they posted the dates on their web site), and the first one arrived earlier this month. It's so much fun opening these boxes.

I ordered a neutral naturals yard pack, which came with these three yards. The gold is a heavy cotton, and the cream is a canvas. Not sure what the polka dot fabric is, but it's sheer and a lot like organza.

I also ordered more mendables, and got this men's black dress shirt. Everywhere you see safety pins is an open seam or slit, but I can sew them up easily. I think it might fit me, too.

The other top was this drawstrong knit turtleneck by a big name designer, which I looked up. If you want a new one of these they list for $82.00.

Just needs to be mended or patched in the back. :)

I was so impressed with the first sequin scrap pack I got I ordered another one before they sold out (which they did a few days later.) Among all the pretty things there's a gorgeous white lace applique piece and stunning quarter yard of ombre sequinned fabric in perfect condition.

Finally I got a white scrap pack, which also did not disappoint.

Stayed tuned to see the second Fabscrap back order when it arrives.

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
