I have more of the charms, but didn't want to bore you with all the eye popping colours I've bought.
I love the Moda Ocean View as it is very nautical and has of course my flip flops, (thongs) throughout the pack. I love this so much! I saw the same on Green Fairy Quilts sale this past weekend, and bought two more. I know, I know, but the ideas running in my head of what to do with all the new stash is keeping me awake!
Unless items are on sale, I just do not need to buy. I find that fabrics are actually a bit more here than in Canada, so yardage hasn't been my big thing. And we buy in metres which is bigger.I got the jelly as a daily deal also, and it has so many brights in it that I was giddy when I opened the package on Valentine Day. And to make it really special, my sweetie was singing karaoke "Lady" during my package opening. It was a good day!
I think people know I love flip flops, so my friend Mary who is here also, found these little wine charms! Are they not just the cutest things? I have them in the package still so as not to lose them. Blurry a bit, but you get the idea.Now, Mary knits. She was like me last year getting sick of socks and fingerless gloves, so Helen (remember my teacher/friend from the lake) gave her a pattern for baby hats and Mary started knitting these hats.
Well, then Mary made her adjustments to the hats and what you see is one of her many lovely baby hats that she has made.
Not only that, but she makes them in different sizes, colours, with never a one being the same....she has sold about 40 of them and still the orders keep coming!
So much fun for her as she can sit by the pool, watch TV, or whatever, her little hat projects are always near.
Today, Tuesday, is usually girls day out for breakfast and shopping. But honestly, I have been so busy that I am opting out! The weather is awful and building. The seas are very very rough, we are expecting rain, and with the winds howling, I think it is not the best day to venture out.
The pool which is just outside our window, I swear had white caps on it yesterday. due to the wind conditions. But....we don't have snow, and for that I am happy to sit out the weather for a few days.

I thought fabric was much more in Canada - everyone says it is over $12 a yard and closer to $20? I get some daily deals from the Mo.company but I try to not get in the habit of doing it too much - when you add in the shipping the price isn't too lower than it is at regular price. I did get the white kona cotton charm pack yesterday though for .49? too good to pass up
Love that baby hat. Your friend might be interested in knitting Chemo Caps-pattern can be googled.
That's a cute baby hat, and I can see the rain drops on the window! Lots of fun bright fabrics - love the thongs.
Wow - stocking up for summer sewing? Love the fabrics - and the baby hat your friend made is cute too. Enjoy the snow-less storm.
If this weather keeps up Nanci, you are going to ice skate to the cottage when you return. Another cold night with strong winds and of course, more snow. We'll see about the snow because two different stations can't agree on that. Lovely hats. And I do love those fabrics.
I am having to chuckle to myself.....I do the same thing, it has gotten to where I have to say...Barb..you do not need another charm pack...but isn't it fun to get them on sale and have all those pretty fabrics?
I also was surprised to hear you say that cotton was cheaper in Canada. At my favorite store in Canmore, AL it was about $16 per yard and a bit more for a meter, which was nearly double what I generally pay in the US. And if I go to JoAnn's with a coupon and end up buying a bolt-end, well then I'm a very happy girl! Love the flip flop charm packs though, those were a terrific deal. 8)
The hats are awesome too. I love the little pink baubles she knit in - how cute!
Take care,

Deals like that are hard to pass up arent they? I know if I lived in the US my stash would be three times the size it is now. Postage just went up for international from the US and it's definitely put a crimp in my usual wild abandon buying habits from there !
Fabric is always a favourite though!
