04/18/2006: "not much to post..."

because i have been caught up in "probably the worlds largest textile garage sale" for the last week or so. we at the textile center put on the garage sale as our big fundraiser for the year. it is crazy amounts of work but so fun. the buttons from the bunny below came from a button jar i got this year. i also left with a few 1970's patterns, some great vintage fabrics, 3 pairs of vintage gloves, some silk ribbon... i resisted bidding on a couple of spinning wheels and a singer featherweight sewing machine that were a part of the silent auction. i have been using the fabric to make cute little "cafe" aprons. little short ones that are basically a big pocket. great for garage sales and art shows where you want your stuff on your person. i made a super cute one for me for the garage sale (will post a picture) and i got so many compliments, i decided to make some more.
