Today i went to my favourite fabric shop and purchased some wonderful pieces to get me started in 2008. A selection of Liberty, Cath kidston, Designers Guild all for £20 what a bargin. I also picked up some black & white gingham for my crochet rug I am going to make for the kitchen more of that later...
One of my pledges this year is to try to make everyones birthday gifts starting with my son Jakes 10th birthday. Found some great camo fabric and am going to make him a pencil case, a new ugli doll and a bag for his sports kit and anything else I can come up with. In fact I shall be having a look at some of the great blogs I've found to get some ideas. Family will give him money which will wing its way into the bank as he's a saver....not sure where he gets that from ceratinly not his mother or father come to think of it....maybe his aunty Sue she was always a squirrel with her cash until her nasty older sister made her spend it!
I have also decided that I shall have a good sort out of my current fabric stash tomorrow as I have a heap of curtains to make for a friend house which I started before our dining room turned into a building site, so now xmas is done & dusted time to get things rolling again.
That fabric looks lovely! I wonder where your fabric shop is???

That sounds like a bargain to me! A birthday idea for you - does Jake play backgammon? I'm planning on making Livvy (also 10) a travel set for her birthday.
