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!

I have a thing for little boxes–fabric ones with zippers and wooden ones. My local wine shop sells empty wooden cigar boxes–I have WAY too many but they are great project boxes

Yes, “other than fabric”, my obsession seems to be yarn………but not just any yarn…………it has to be wool yarn, and, if possible, handspun, handpainted wool yarn. I’m running out of places to stash it in my house. I have to store it in plastic bags so moths won’t make it lunch. I seriously have to stop it now because I’m sure I’ll never have all the time I need to knit it all!
