#with prints that make me soooo nostalgic and remind me of precious textiles from my childhood

[strawberrum]

oooh, I went out and about today by myself and had a REALLY lovely time exploring! I specifically wanted to pop into a local quilt shop that I've never been in—if you're familiar with local crafting shops you know they have wildly limited hours lol—and had a little chat with the staff! They carry Ruby Star Society fabrics which I was jazzed to see, even though it was slim pickings. I love LOVE RSS fabrics, the colors are just!! *chef's kiss*

Afterwards I ambled around the plaza and found an awesome little art store that is like? A thrift store/art supply/consignment combo and WOW. It was just stuffed to bursting with all kinds of bits of art supplies for like, $1 each. ONE DOLLAR. In this economy? And it was virtually all things that people would have otherwise thrown away despite it being perfectly good.

L i t e r a l l y filled a tote bag with fabrics ends and scraps, a ribbon, and trim, and beads. All exactly what I am looking for, and in the quantities that I'm looking for, to keep practicing making animal dolls.

I am JAZZED out of my little mind about this new goblin hoard of fabric!! I can make things! I can experiment with tricky, slippery fabric and not be terrified about wasting a ton of money! I have so many new, inspiring colors and pattern to put together into wee little rompers and bows and bags. ; u;

#strawberrum chirps #waaaay longer post than I usually make woops #but my craft goblin heart is thriving #some of the fabric is also like #real actual vintage #with prints that make me soooo nostalgic and remind me of precious textiles from my childhood #saving those for when I get my hands on some higher quality thread so whatever I make with them will last a good while
