WEEKEND TULIPS
Andrew bought these lovely tulips yesterday and for me they are the perfect marker for the end of a crazy work week and the start of a heavenly two day weekend.
I wanted to share a few bits and bobs before I head off to devour some rare free time.
Glorious new fabrics arrived this week including Tula Pink’s Neptune collection and Japanese treasures like nani IRO, kokka and echino. Oh dear, what to make next?
I’ve created a new page on the blog where you can see all the ‘Tutorials & DIY projects‘ in one place. Hopefully this will make it easier to reference some of my past projects and get me going on doing some more tutorials for you!
Reva told me about a new sewing magazine that has just come out called, “Modern Seamster“. You can download the first issue as a pdf. With all these magazines closing, it’s so nice to see something new.
I love Audrey Tatou, so I’m really excited about the new Coco Chanel movie. The trailer is in french which makes it even more intriguing. I am marking this one in my calendar, I want to see this in the theatre. Wanna make a date? {via NOTCOT}
The Globe & Mail’s article on craft and the economy came out yesterday. This seems to be a very big topic of interest with the press. I’m wondering what your thoughts are on this? Are you crafting more right now? Do you craft and sew to save money? Are you buying more or less locally made and handmade stuff?

What beautiful flowers!
so pretty
I know I already said something on Flickr but I just love love love the neptune collection! I’ll have to sell some crafts first I think to raise some cash and make some room for more fabric. Hopefully I can do that before the collection sells out!
charlotte – i love tulips. every year i mean to plant some in the yard, but always forget. i have to make sure i do it this year.

angelune – the thing about the neptune collection is that every print is amazing. i especially LOVE all the dark dark navys. have you started up your etsy store yet?
