Obsessions: What are yours?

Obsessions other than fabric…what are yours?  What makes you crazy when you see it?  What’s the one thing you can’t resist buying?   Maybe clothes, shoes, dishes, thread, floss, scissors, books or magazines? Do you obsess about something else?  I can’t be the only one with a few obsessions can I?   Fess up!   My secret obsession is…

Paper and Pens!

  I love pretty notebooks, fine paper, special pens and I just can’t help myself.  Last week my UPS man delivered the most wonderful box of paper and pens.  It was like Christmas.

I wish you could feel the smoothness of the paper.  It’s so yummy.  And the colors, can you stand it?  Shades of pink, lavender and pumpkin.  Heaven help me I can’t wait to write in these.  New spiral notebooks for taking notes when I’m working on a project.  New spiral notebooks for my “to do” lists and new pens and pencils to write them with.

Check out the pink fountain pen!  I picked a brown ink but I could have selected a multitude of colors.  And see that pink pencil on the left?  It’s perfect for drawing.  Who knows what will happen with a pencil like that!  To think that I can be inspired by a new notebook or pen!  I’ll share my shopping site for pens and paper just in case you obsess about these too…JetPens.com. 

And if you obsess about Dresden plate quilts…while I was busy thinking about what to write in my new notebooks I found 1 more Scrappy Plate Kit…it’s on my website.

If you have a Dresden obsession like me,  just visit my Flickr group.   I’m there every morning to see if any new plates have appeared.  Best thing is it doesn’t cost any money and you don’t have to hide it from your husband!

Back soon!

    My latest obsession seems to be containers – cutesy little ones, larger for storing bits and pieces, plastic, metal and even glass. Found a wonderful M&M tin this year for colored pencils and now I have taken to making pouches for storeing and carrying around my fabric. Wonder when this will end? JC

    pens, notebooks, storage containers, shoes… :-)

    I am interested in your starter kit. How is it different from the entire kit from the fat quarter shop? What is it missing? Is it just the fabrics for the plates? Thanks!

    Honestly I’m obsessed with many things: fabric, books, papers, pens, bags … I love all beautiful things. But hey, perhaps it’s a statement and not a obsession;-)
