House hunting

As you may have read, I'm moving. This may look like something routine and possibly no big deal but I'm pretty busted up over this move. I've grown to love my home (the place, not the actual home) and the people. And I'll be honest, that took me a while. There are things about that place that I didn't love. I still don't love those things but who loves everything about a place.

I struggle with being surrounded by overt displays of wealth and superiority. Though I'm quickly realizing that is everywhere. Even here in this new place. It takes a slightly nobler form but it is easy to spot. 

So I'm here in this new place, looking for a house. I just read the book, 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess (affiliate link but I'm sure it is at the library now). If you've read it you know what I mean. 

I don't have a lot to say except I've been quiet on this blog for a month and wanted you to know I'm still here! Just taking a breather for a bit. I've been working too many hours for too many months and this past month has been a wonderful change of pace! Thanks for reading my blog and for making this an enjoyable place to write. There will be a few changes on this blog in the near future. I'm not sure exactly what they'll be but I'm excited for them. The big move for the shop has gone very well so I can't wait for this blog and then the other one to get their changes as well.

P.S. If you're looking to figure out which fabric I donated to the giveaway, you may want to look here.

Fabric Match Up Giveaway!

I may not be sewing right now because I'm completely preoccupied with other things in life but I'm still fabric shopping! I was back in my usual places the other day and stocked up on some amazing things. I'll definitely get some pictures for you soon because some of it is downright exciting. But if you're new here scroll through some of my favorite recent posts in the sidebar or check out the tutorial section. I'll be back posting tons soon! I'm drafting a REALLY fun pattern for the next Pattern Anthology collection. Get excited for that one, seriously.

And even better, I've joined up with a bunch of other bloggers to give you some of our favorite fabrics! How fun is this?

great fabric giveaway
