It would have been stupid not to...

We went to Bluewater yesterday, having left the kiddies at my parents.  That meant being able to go into shops that sell 'breakables', lunch with dear husband and going to John Lewis.

John Lewis made me buy brown fabric!  I needed buttons and a magnetic snap, I bought buttons, (but not for the original project), bobbins, ribbon and fabric.  Lots of fabric!

It wasn't my fault, they were selling Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow at £5.10/m (c. $7US/yd), that's half price! 



5 meters found their way into my basket, but it was too good an offer for me to resist.

I am now re-thinking my Swoon and Stained fabrics, and a few other projects I have in mind too.

Tomorrow I promise you colours-galore, and touch-wood, a Cherry Star finish.  The top is now complete - and I am hoping to get the fleece backing on this evening. 

Monday is an Inset day, so the kids and I are planning a pyjama day!

  13. Blue water hadn't tempted me, (I'm not much of a shopping centre shopper) but a John Lewis with fabric certainly ticks boxes!
