Anyway, after working TOO MUCH this past week on a huge project (until 9 two nights and 7:45 one night and 6-7 hours on Sunday), I decided that it was time to treat myself to a shopping trip! I took some money from my settlement money and headed to Best Friends after work on Thursday. I decided that I would take out a certain amount, but that I didn't want to spend too much over that amount.
I got some ruby slipper fabric to make a pillowcase for Claire. She loves the Wizard of Oz and I thought that this would be great for her.
I also got 3 yards of Flintstone fabric to make myself some pants. I think that this is just adorable!
I this fabric from the Surf and Sand Marcus Brothers collection. I have been eyeing it for a purse for myself for a few months, but I got this to make a purse for Tara, the Tastefully Simple lady. I am pretty sure that she will just love it! The darker brown with the dots is for the trim and the lighter brown is for the lining.
I also got a new purse pattern and some fabric to make a donation from myself for the Quilt Retreat. Once I got home though, I thought that this might not be neutral enough and I just love it so I may have to keep it for myself and get other fabric to donate. :) This fabric is a very soft blue background with green and teal accents. I think it's very cool. The striped fabric is for the trim and then cream and green fabric is for the lining.
I also had to pick up the March and April BOM. I haven't finished the February BOM yet. And by haven't finished, I mean that I haven't started. I am now officially 3 months behind!
When Joanne and I were walking out of the office today, we saw this car and thought it was an, umm, interesting color for a car. It's a little toned down in this picture. In real life, it is a bright as Pepto Bismol! Yuck!! We are now infatuated with seeing who drives it!

OMG! That Surf and Sand is what I was thinking about when I told you I wanted to make a shower curtain!! No one around here has the flintstones so we'll have to hit that shop when I come down! I bought that same ruby slippers stuff too.
Retail therapy is always a good thing.
There's a few people by us who choose to have their cars that colour. One girl has even decked out the inside in pink. The steering wheel cover is pink and fluffy as are her seats and seatbelts.

Oh I think a fun day at the quilt shop is great therapy. I know I spent quite a bit at mine on Sat.
