Fabric Stash

This picture is only a small taste of my stash.

Tonight I started organizing my fabric and have come to a conclusion...I have way too much. No kidding. I probably don't have any more than most seamstresses...in fact, probably less. But I have enough to feel overwhelmed by not being able to make something out of all of it. So, new rule: I can't buy any more fabric until I use up most of what I have. Unless of course I need something to go with something I have in order to finish a project. But yeah...no more stashing. I rather like the idea of catching up on all my sewing. All this unfinished bussiness is not for me.

I like clean, orderly, and used well. :) That's my new fabric motto. ;)

1000 Artist Journal Pages

My friend randomly picked up this book at Barnes and Noble the other day and I couldn't stop looking through it. So inspiring and just...amazing. :)

Check it out if you get the chance!

Foam

I found this magazine buried in the back of the rack at Barnes and Noble and it just may be my new favorite. A magazine for lovers of Fashion, Ocean, Art, and Music. I love it. :)

Two is Better than One

Yesterday my friend Heidi came to visit and we had an awesome afternoon of shopping and just chillin' in the park catching up.
FYI-American Eagle is giving away movie tickets if you try on a pair of jeans. Not bad...even though I do find the task of trying jeans on exhausting...one thing I hate the most...for a free movie ticket, why not!? And if you buy the jeans...you get another free movie ticket.
Heidi and I couldn't find anything to go see at the moment so we rented "Some Like it Hot" instead, after some Red Robin (my first visit since I've been home...AMAZING) and grabbing a couple magazines, then we headed home and hung out in the hot tub. Good times.
It's good to be home and see old friends.

Back at Home

I'm home now and almost recovered from jet lag...I've been busy all day sewing and filling my etsy shop. Check it out if you will! :)

Far and Away

Life has been busy over here in the UK. I rarely have internet so it's been dificult for me to keep this blog updated...however, I have been taking lots of pictures so one of these days I'll upload them!
I'm finally getting into the swing of things, I think. I've been filling my schedule with people, volunteer work, and a few moments here and there to just sit and enjoy the incredible beauty of Cornwall.
There are days I'm extreemly homesick, and days I feel right at home. I'm just trying to soak up each moment of this adventure knowing it will soon be over. I want to be able to look back with satisfaction at what I accomplished while I've been here.
I must be off now as I'm at the library and my computer time is almost up...but I just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know I haven't abandoned my blog...I shall return one of these days. :) Hopefully quite soon with pictures!
Keep in touch friends,
~Anna
