I'll bet he watches for you whenever a sewing/fashion one arrives. Don't feel bad though about the tab. My daughters buy loads of magazines(not sewing) and flip through then leave them with me and I periodically load the stacks up and take to the Salvation Army for those with more sense or less cents to enjoy. At least you might do something from the Marfy. I am sure I would have bought one had I had the opportunity and I don't even know what a Marfy is exactly but I do like sewing stuff.No danger out here in the boonies of finding the good stuff unless the postman brings it. Don't worry about the sewing projects, we like being exposed to the musings even if they get canned or you don't get time. I have enough projects in mind right now that would take several more lifetimes but feel sure I will add some more when I see what you have in mind. Wannebe sewing projects are my day dreamy happy place when life is messing up the sewing time. mssewcrazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-11479826758971607572009-02-14T21:45:00.000-05:002009-02-14T21:45:00.000-05:00Lucky you!

Considering that I just paid for my BWOF subscription and ordered a Patrones for a lot of money on Ebay, I think that I have spent my pattern money for the time being! The Vogue isn't out here on LI yet and that I will buy. Mrs O looks fabulous on the cover.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-66203650861458071302009-02-14T15:12:00.000-05:002009-02-14T15:12:00.000-05:00You need that Marfy catalog.

Do you have a ritual? I don't even open them until I am home, with a pot of tea, settled in somewhere peaceful and cosy and won't be disturbed.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274649006496918800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-76552861819640491592009-02-14T04:48:00.000-05:002009-02-14T04:48:00.000-05:00I clicked away buying the Marfy catalogue online. ...I clicked away buying the Marfy catalogue online. It was over 20 euro including postage, and it sounded just too much to me, as I am trying to cut down a bit on my sewing expenses. Then I bought March Knip Mode for 8 euro's in the supermarkt and was sooo disappointed by the styles. Should have bought Marfy and skip Knip Mode. I'll probably will buy it eventually. <BR/>Enjoy your weekend.Sigridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16187364244385056641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-71613652386657436422009-02-14T04:33:00.000-05:002009-02-14T04:33:00.000-05:00Sounds bliss - enjoy your holiday weekend!Sounds bliss - enjoy your holiday weekend!AllisonChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431369603470575306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-22115826428673129342009-02-13T22:49:00.000-05:002009-02-13T22:49:00.000-05:00I truly envy your magazine stand.

I was trying to do so much that day(I actually accomplished a lot - got Marfy, saw Kashi and bought too much, and met up with two cousins at Grand Central - all on a day that was so incredibly hot that I ended up having to quit early to go back to the Port Authority to cool off. So, where is this news stand again? I'm putting THAT in my address book if you give me the location! My sewing weekend is a lot shorter than yours, but I've already got a new shirt for my husband cut out and a muslin for McCall 8501 cut out. Let's see how far I get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-32234958942095432802009-02-13T22:31:00.000-05:002009-02-13T22:31:00.000-05:00Lord Carolyn.
