A Good Start to the Week….

March 17, 2008 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 10 Comments

I arrived home from work today to find a lovely surprise! Our much awaited order arrived from Retro Mummy, with some lovely cupcake fabric that Sarah is going to use to make a recipe book cover for her collection of favourite recipes (most featuring chocolate!!). The gorgeous Eskimo print I will probably use to make some of those pencil/crayon rolls.

I finished another three Jewellery Rolls on the weekend using some lovely fabrics from Moda’s Urban Chicks collection.

Hope your week has got off to a good start a well!

    All the fabric is really nice, I’m a sucker for the cup cake fabric. I just made some girls bloomers, that fabric would look pretty cute!
