Paint By Number

I hate when fabrics become impossible to find anymore. I got this great paint-by-number fabric maybe a year ago. It started disappearing from all good fabric shops and the internet very quickly. Now I will occasionally find it online, but the price is super jacked up. I have been hoarding a few yards of it in green. The blue sold out even faster and I don't even know if I have a fat quarter left. Boo.

Berkley Illustration

Did I ever tell you how much I am in love with BerkleyIllustration's prints? I'm sure I did. Plenty of times! If you have been to my apartment this fact is very apparent.
I am anxiously waiting for their new February animals. Then I will buy this Meerkat and maybe one of the new ones. My collection will never be complete.

I told myself I wouldn't do much Etsy blogging, but I am so obsessed with the new Echino line (as always). I made up this purse last night. I have lots more of the new stuff and can't wait to get some more done!

Lately I've been really liking making large purses!

Stationery

I love stationery. Etsy has renewed my obsession with it. I had taken about a 10 year break from madly buying it up because I got sick of only finding Sanrio stuff. Lately I have bought this stuff off Etsy:

From http://hidenseek.etsy.com
And finally I bought something from CharlieMotel (http://charliemotel.etsy.com):

Sadly, CharlieMotel is closing down. Get her stuff on sale when you can!

I don't usually post my Etsy stuff, but I just love this bag! It's one of my favourite Japanese fabrics, but I can't find it anywhere now!

I really wanted a 'golden book' animal feel. It was tough to find an image. I really happy with the result! I put my order in tonight to overnightprints.com. I can't wait to get them.

I started to make some coasters. I always like making new things. I get really tired of making the same purses all the time and don't have the same excitement about sewing when I do. Making new things brings back the fun.
