fabric stash

Well, now I’ve gone and done it!  I have added even more fabric to my already over-stuffed cupboard.  My fabric stash has yet again grown exponentially.

I had better get those sewing machines tuned up and get on making new projects to use up some of the fabric.  I have a show coming up on April 24th, so I definitely need more product.  Now I just have to make time and equipment line up properly with inspiration!

So, what did I buy?

From the Alexander Henry Folklorico line I got a yard each of the pink and turquoise mini calaveras…

pink skulls

turquoise skulls

and 2 yards each of orange and black of the azucar, or sugar skulls…

black azucar

orange azucar

and of the Freespirit los sanctos line, I bought a yard of the turquoise Virgin of Guadalupe…

and finally, from Robert Kaufman’s Forget Me Not II line, I bought a yard in each of the spring, crimson and chocolate colourways…

Sigh, I can’t wait until it all arrives and I can fondle and oogle it.  But I also know I have to do some rearranging before it arrives or there will be nowhere for it to go!

 

reno all over but the painting

Its all over but the painting.  Bathroom renovation 2009 is as complete as its gonna get.

Still need to paint, and find a mirror, but everything else is done!

Please don’t mind the dirty tub, this is post-reno-pre-clean (and ignore the glare off the clear caulk!).

I’m pretty darned thrilled with how it all turned out and can’t wait for the painting to happen so I can really see the fruits of my contractor’s labour!

And now for a few of the little accessories I bought for my beautiful new bathroom:

plush chenille bathmat

Continuing the crimson theme:

soap dish and toothbrush holder

crimson towels

The towels don’t look crimson in this photo, but they really are.  And they may well be the most plush towels I’ve ever had the pleasure of touching!

shower curtain

The shower curtain is just plain vinyl.  I looked high and low for a crimson one without any luck.  So I settled for plain for the time being and maybe I’ll keep looking for a more dramatic one, and maybe I’ll just settle into this more understated look.  I’ll have a much better idea once the walls are painted a lovely off-white.

Tomorrow will be the first time showering in my new bathroom, and I’m very much looking forward to it.  I hope I love my new showerhead!
