After reading about several folks taking breaks, I'm tempted to do the same thing. All of a sudden, everything is coming to a head, and time seems an even rarer commodity than ever! I still haven't done anything for Easter - need to decorate eggs, make cupcakes, get Brynne's basket together, make deviled eggs, and go travel to see family in the valley (yes, the famous San Fernando Valley of Valley Girl fame!) on Sunday. I haven't yet started on my Month of Softies project, although I have all the materials, so I really need to get hopping (I know, bad pun!). And, weekend after this we'll be in Vegas to celebrate Jerry's grandmother's 85th birthday. In the meantime, I also have a couple of swaps I need to wrap up... Phew, I feel exhausted just thinking about it all. Plus, my work schedule is suddenly heating up a bit more than I would like...
So, all this to explain why this post is pretty short and simple. I just thought I'd share some fun fabric I've picked up in the past week. Not all of it has an intended purpose yet, but that will come! Here's what I grabbed from the eQuilter green color palette sale:
and here is some more fun stuff that I got from a great local fabric shop:
I really love this local fabric shop if for no other reason than I seem to be the only one who buys the contemporary fabrics! Perfect for me!
ooh! score on the fabric! and good luck on the million and one things list!!
happy easter! hope you get some down time.

The San Fernando Valley! My kind of place as it's my abode--
I too will be on a break but to the East Coast--enjoy the break and Happy Easter!

Oh, that fabric is wonderful...how lucky to have such great fabric close by to you (and dangerous too, I'd think!). Sounds like a "break" is good for lots of people right now--take it and enjoy it! ;)

Major props to you for referencing Valley Girl. ^_^ And "yum!!!" to the green fabrics, especially that neato one second from the right. I'm off to hunt for it now.
