...to return to this:
There is something to be said for traveling in the winter! *LOL* The resort was amazing and even though the four days were very structured and work related...I did enjoy it.
However, I did return to a few sewing treats...
This is an Anna Sui sweatery fabric purchased from Fabric Mart prior to my departure. It works perfectly with the silk/wool tweed straight skirt that is in progress.
This grey wool boucle was also in the box because I loved the first two boucle pieces I purchased and figured I should just add one more.
I bought this rayon print from Emmaonesock because it just screamed spring - and I need a little spring in my life right now! *LOL*
The last things waiting for me were the new Sandra Betzina books. I love Sandra Betzina's teaching style...have since she had her Sew Perfect show on HGTV. And it was really kewl to see my friend Diane Egleston's name listed as one of the Editors of the books!
I don't know if I'm going to sew today. If I do I might not do enough to finish anything, but I'm home and hopefully it will be a little quieter and slower at work this week. Then maybe I can figure out what to sew during the three day President's Day weekend, where I'll be home again!
...as always, more later!
Welcome home! Surely Spring is right around the corner. The days are getting longer. I do like your emma one sock floral, you are right, it screams "Spring!"
ReplyDeleteAaaah. What a wonderful trip. Good news is that this snow stuff is m e l t i n g. Love your floral spring fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I recently received a little package from Emma One Sock as well. I can't visit her site often because I can rarely control myself.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time! I like the fabrics you chose, especially the zig-zag knit.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back. Glad you were greeted with treats.
ReplyDeleteHope that you warmed up enough to be able to face the rest of the cold season (which can't end soon enough, as far as I'm concerned). The red flowers look amazing - now that's fabric that should make everyone around you smile, when you're wearing it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. Hopefully the snow will melt soon and spring will be here. Looks like some wonderful goodies waiting for you.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering where you were. Glad you had a great working vacation.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that sweater knit. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! What a nice bunch of sewing loot awaiting you.
ReplyDeleteyeah, nice loot!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home. It must have been nice to have a little warmth & sunshine, even if it was for work.
Welcome home! Though you had to come back to the cold & snow, I'm sure it was extra nice to be greeted by such nice goodies!
ReplyDeleteNice fabric!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a chance to get out of the snow. And even though you had to return to it, those lovely fabrics and goodies had to have made it less harsh! Love the EOS fabric!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great trip - so nice to get a little sunshine to last you until sping arrives in NY! I love your new fabrics - I am particularly drooling over the Anna Sui sweater fabric, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat you had a good time away and glad you got to come back to some goodies! Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteThat snow is so welcoming! (not) Good thing you have lots of new toys to keep you inside.
ReplyDeleteawww, well, welcome back, regardless of how disappointing it is to be back on the east coast.
ReplyDeleteOn the positive side, it was "warm" today
I can understand the feeling of coming from Hot and humid climate to a cold and grey climate. I am glad you had a good trip. Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a change in weather. At least you had a warm getaway for a bit. Plus, coming home to all that sewing goodness must have helped lesson the "snow" blow. lol
ReplyDeleteOoh, it looks gorgeous! Glad you got time to defrost and to return to some goodies!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics "and" books :)) great way to end a holiday!
welcome home! at least it is slightly warming up here... a bit... ;)
ReplyDeletei love the floral! can't wait to see it made up into something awesome.
Sooo nice to get away when you have reached your fill of the cold weather! That floral print is really ready for Spring!
ReplyDeleteNice purchases. Love that fabric from EOS! Really says spring; great colors.
