bought some liberty fabric on ebay... with our crap exchange rate i am not sure it was any more frugal that going to liberty itself {well, except for all the other expenses} or even clicking to purl soho. i don't care, touching these makes it all better. i do have plans for them, but not firm ones. it involves garment sewing, and that makes me nervous - so they may be hoarded with the rest of my stash.
hidden in there are 7 pigs - heh heh.
and then this, today's contribution to the plate & fork extravaganza. it held a soft boiled egg on toast before it hit the sink. i am an egg lover, no doubt about that.
a collaboration with the futuregirl!

How much fabric does one pig need to *be*?

Hip hip hooray! Glad to see Petals' family is expanding.
The fabric link has had me salivating, must boil myself an egg...
(And a Happy Birthday to all you ladies!)

I think I might do just about anything for one of those piggies. Just so you know. But it's not birthday for another 2 months.

Oh my God. I feel like I've come into an inheritance or something...I can't believe I've got four new posts to read!!! I love that you're in posting mode again. I miss is when you don't (no pressure ha!)....
The fabric is so pretty...especially the one on the right...I love it.

Oh no. I just went and looked up Liberty fabrics. I had never heard of them (I don't sew much-or get out much either I guess). Now I'm all set for a new addiction.

Gorgeous fabrics! I never make clothes for myself either, it makes me nervous. I do buy fabrics for the purpose though, but they usually end up in other projects. I love your garden shots. I will have to take a look at my plants today. It's worth the effort going out every once in a while....

Great fabrics. I buy lots of inexpensive cottons, but every so often it's great to have a splurge on a metre or even just a half metre of something pricier you've been coveting for a while. Patchwork's ideal as I end up using even the most frugal little scrap until it's all gone. Enjoyed finding your blog. Best wishes Valerie
