Loving Pinterest

Are you on Pinterest yet??? Like I needed another addiction, but I am absolutely in love with this site right now. It is a virtual cork board, basically. It allows you to "pin" images from all over the web and keep them organized in "Boards". I get lost scanning through the thousands of images posted by other folks on there and mostly just end up repinning their images onto my boards. Here are just a few of the great images I've collected...

In fact I was so inspired by some the images in my "sewing room daydreams" board that I totally reorganized my sewing space this morning to incorporate some of the ideas I've seen. I love it!!

So if you haven't checked out Pinterest yet - I highly recommend it. I'm always looking for new and interesting boards to follow, so if you have one - let me know! Stop by and check out my boards while you are there!

Everything Etsy's Moda May Fabric Giveaway

Hello, my name is Claudia and I am a Fabric-aholic. I love, love, love fabric. If I had a whole afternoon where I could do anything I wanted, I would probably spend it wandering around fabric shops. I have a somewhat insane fabric stash...

This is just my quilting cottons {blush} ... I have about 5 more of these big storage bins stashed in closets around the house with flannels, fleece, fancy fabrics ... I know, I have a problem, but I just love fabric. I love the possibilities it represents, the creativity, the potential. I have more fabric than I will probably ever use (realistically), but in my mind each piece is destined for greatness.

Even though I may not *need* more fabric, I always want more :) So I am entering into the weekly fabric giveaway being hosted by Everything Etsy this week and sponsored by the Fat Quarter Shop. They have such an amazing selection - it is crazy! I am not usually an online fabric buyer because I like to touch fabric before I buy it, but I am not going to turn down the chance for a $75 gift certificate either! Wish me luck!!
