Yes! Today was my only free from work day in December (of course being sick I was at home 6 days, plus we take turns so I had a few mornings off work) so I dedicated myself and DH to Christmas shopping and...

Inside there was really a GREAT selection, even better than the other shop. So many gorgeous fabrics sorted by color... and so many great designs, more toward things I've seen Jenny using. I have no idea how I could decide to buy just what I needed in that moment! I was crazy with excitement!

The purple with white dots fabric was necessary for a commission for a friend. You'll see the final result The pack with three fat quarters was a must buy: it was on discount and there were snowflakes on each fabric!!! YES! I'm collecting snowflakes fabric for a future project!

Just wanted to share my excitement with you ladies because I'm sure you'll understand
