Oh my. Oh My.
On Project Runway this week the designers created their own fabric. So freaking cool. Of course, they had an incredible HP app and touch screens to work with, making it even cooler and making me, and I'm sure many others, drool with envy.
Today I read this tweet: " redfishcircle just updated my Spoonflower page - hippo prints are available http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/redfish/"
Had to take a look. Oh my. I can buy her prints, I can buy Heather Ross prints, I can choose from the oodles of other awesome prints, I can make my own print ... I can pick my fabric. The possibilities are mind-bloggling! And imagine how cool it would be to have your unique designs in your unique prints!
It's not in my budget to do any of those things today, but I'll be back. I can't even count how many times I needed a fabric that was "just so" ... and now I have the option of making it.
I know I'm the last to discover Spoonflower. It was intentional. I knew I'd be hooked. And I am.
Here's my image from the other day after uploading it and playing with it for a moment.
I wouldn't actually make this into fabric, but it was fun to see how quick and easy the process was. Sweet.

I won an award! That's so cool ... I'm seriously very honored and excited. Thank you Ashley, of Always a Piece of Me, for the honor.
So here's the scoop ...
What the award entails:
- Thanks and link my presenter
- Post the award on my blog
- Share 7 interesting things about myself
- Nominate 7 blogs and link to them
7 interesting things about myself:
That's very hard. I've been myself for so long that I don't necessarily find much about me to be unusual or interesting ... just me. But I shall try ...
1. I'm left handed, as is my former husband. All of our children, so far, are right handed. I think River may be a leftie but that may be wishful thinking!
2. My real name is Mary Jo, not Jody. Go figure.
3. I started sewing when I was in elementary school. I stopped for quite awhile after having my oldest children but picked it up again a few years ago.
4. I don't sail. Yet. But I have every intention of learning in the next few months.
5. I can put my ankles behind my head. It didn't use to hurt as much to do that as it does now.
6. I have awful handwriting. So much so that I avoid hand writing things as much as possible.
7. I stopped eating red meat 17 years ago and do not feed it to my children. The last straw was a burger from McDonalds that made me really sick. I do eat chicken and the kids like fish and seafood.
7 blogs:
That's easier, but hard to stop at 7. I must confess that I put down the first seven I came across in my reader that jumped out at me. I could have put down 67 ... or more.
1. Redfish Circle
2. See Katie Sew
3. One Shabby Chick
4. Patchy Work of Mini Grey
5. Moda Bake Shop
6. A Stitch in Dye
7. Apple and Eve
