There's still time!

In case you need any last minute birthday ideas - I don't officially turn 28 until 3:30pm.

Seriously, have you ever seen a cuter sewing basket?

I've already got a spot picked out in my studio.

 

Sure they've been out of print for forever, and it's one of the most sought-after fabric lines, and I just found someone on Etsy trying to sell individual fat quarters for $45 each (yeah, $45!!), but I came into the sewing scene right on the tail end of Denise Schmidts, Flea Market Fancy and I would just love to make a huge quilt with these.

Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush and Pastry Line in voile.  I seriously might pass out if these were in my possession.

A terrarium for your finger.  What more would you need in life?

I'm not huge into cross stitching - unless it's a pattern by Gera!  Superbuzzy has a great selection.  I made the Hansel and Gretel one for Phoebe's room.

I highly doubt Phoebe will be getting me anything from here, but maybe she'll be nice and let me sleep in. 

*On a side note, if you're looking to get some Echino fabric - including the new Fall 2010 line - at wholesale prices ($8.50/yard!), Sew Sweetness is hosting a fabric co-op and is taking orders through Jan 28th.  Awesome deal!

Phoebe and I have high-tailed it out of Michigan in exchange for some warm weather, cuban coffee and key lime pie.  We'll be back next week with lots of crafting (there are four - yes, four - quilts I need to start asap), getting some major work done on the rest of the basement, and finding some storage solutions for my studio (I forsee a trip to Ikea in my future!).

Until then, you can check out these lovely links where other bloggers have been kind enough to feature some of my work this week....

*Nicole at Chic & Cheap Nursery did a post on Phoebe's nursery.
*My Heather Ross Squared quilt was featured over on Quilt Story

On a side note - I totally had a dream last night that I was in a fabric store and I found a huge stack of Anna Maria Horner's voile fabrics on super clearance for 99 cents a yard.  Man, was I bummed when I woke up!

A side, side note - if you know of anywhere not-to-miss in the Miami area, let me know!
