Quiltology: my favorite Chicago quilt shop. I stopped in yesterday when we were downtown for the Bucktown Art Fair, and bought way too much fabric-y goodness:
This was in addition to the fabric I had already bought on Friday:
and my super awesome estate sale find: a set of vintage Marimekko sheets (my brother had the same set with matching wallpaper and trash can):
I'm looking for a clever use for these sheets. Any suggestions??---
R is for...
Rejection. I promised I'd let you know about the DIY Trunk Show, and the results are grim. It seems that I have not yet been rejected, but have been put on a "short waiting list." Which means I have to sit and bite my nails for three more weeks, and then get rejected. I'm actually very okay with this, and my husband is downright relieved. Although I did really well at that very same show last year, the organizers wouldn't be aware of my sales, and I did feel a little out of place there anyways. Like I wasn't quite subversive enough, you know? Like maybe if I used my darling vintage-inspired and thrifted fabrics to create, say, a nice dildo cozy instead of an infants onesie, then I'd probably be in. I'm just saying.
R is for Rhubarb. I came across this term while doing a totally unrelated thesaurus search a few months back. In this usage, the term 'rhubarb' is synonymous with a disagreement, as well as:
altercation, beef*, bickering, bone, brawl, broil, brouhaha, commotion, conflict, contention, controversy, debate, disagreement, discord, discussion, dissension, disturbance, embroilment, falling-out, feud, fireworks*, flare-up, fracas, friction, fuss, hoo-ha, hubbub, miff*, misunderstanding, polemic, quarrel, rhubarb, row, rumpus*, squabble, squall, strife, tiff, uproar, variance, words, wrangle
Please don't start a rhubarb with me. Because I'll take you down.

S is for...
Silhouettes: love them.
... Snow Globes: yet. another. random. collection. of mine. Has my list of collections grown tedious yet? My snow globe collection is in it's infancy. So far, I only have San Francisco, London, and hmmm.... I guess that's all I have.
...Sociology: Did you know I have a degree in Sociology? I focused on crime and deviance. I have lots and lots of books on serial killers and the mob. White collar crime doesn't interest me at all. Nothing gets me going like some good crime.
I had originally planned to go on to law school or into social services, but instead became a stay at home mommy who crafts and sews and blogs.
... Sewing:
I had a really productive sewing week! I made, among other things, a new fall bag from Amy Karols "Bend the Rules Sewing" book. Oh look, I just happen to have a picture of it here!
(bad picture. cute bag!)xoxo
ps: I forgot this:
S is also for Storm: I'm sure you saw the coverage of the huge storms we've had here in Chicago. This is the view of one rolling up on us (the picture is actually in color - just very black):

beebeemod used those sheets to create onsies. I think there are still some in her etsy shop.
Too bad about the Trunk show...
My mother is a Soc. professor! She is more about PTSD and medical stuff than crime though.
I still use those sheets.
Oh, and I want a dog.
