Adding to the stash....for good reason!

Photobucket
 
I'm not supposed to be adding to the stash....Hubby will shoot me and 2013 is More Out + Less In!
 
But these were all bought for good reason. Some of them will leave the stash very quickly (I hope) and others will stay around a little longer as I tackle a long term project.
 
And I mean very long term! I'm going to start a 'Dear Jane' or 'Baby Jane' as they like to call them. I'm going to call mine 'Wishful Baby'  for as I sew this one there will be a lot of baby-wishing going on! Aden is 4 in a few very short months and I thought we'd defiantly have another baby here by now....or a least on the way. But I continue to patiently wait my turn, pray, dream and wish.
 
 
I got 1/2 a metre of this green to add to the DJ fabrics. Yes 1/2 metre is over kill as I will only need the tiniest pieces but 30% off is a good bargain!
 
Miss Dove and I are having a sew-a-long these coming Easter Holidays to make this Dress
Simplicity 2217
 

 
So after I bought these 3 fabrics - I hate making decisions, so I didn't I got all 3 - a liberty inspired floral, a bold white/grey/yellow/blue, and a lace inspired multi-toned print I got into the spirit of prepping for the start of sewing and cut out the pattern pieces. Not sure if that is cheating or not! Sorry Miss Dove!
 
 
I also got a couple of metres of reduced cord ($3.50/m) for floor cushions for the classroom.

I'm still winning! Or losing, depending on how you put it!

I was just home in Brisbane (I live in the States) and the last thing I thought I would do was buy fabric.... but it took one trip to Spotlight and I was gone. I found the most amazing Denise Schmidt fabric at $6 a meter. I went a little crazy, with my husband's blessing, and bought 1 meter cuts. Like you 1/2 a yard cuts is my usual extravagance.
