(And I have determined this because I have not seen complaints via blog or email!) I'm sorry your finger is still causing issue but well, duh!<br /><br />Love the fabrics, and I'm always a fan of blue so Ican't disagere with blue for your dresdens if you want an overall soft, antiquey (my new word, shush) feel. However, I do like the red which gives the reds a new flair. I don't know if I'd be brave enough to do it myself but I can see how great it could look. <br /><br />Anyway, I hope healing progresses fast and good for you for still being so productive. :DSarcastic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260818745110503205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-27809224264365365712011-05-04T09:49:29.367+09:302011-05-04T09:49:29.367+09:30Your bung finger sure hasn't stopped you shopp...Your bung finger sure hasn't stopped you shopping !

I concur the blue works for the Dresden plates (and not just because it's my favorite color). I see your mice still have their tails, so this must be the "before" the farmer's wife shot. Looks great. <br /><br />Pretty, pretty fabrics. I'm trying so hard to live vicarously through your fabric purchases. The Hancock's catalog came yesterday! My resistance is getting low. <br /><br />Looks like you managed to get some stuff done. Are you still on a "no sewing" restriction? <br /><br />Thanks for linking up to the 15 Minute Challege!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876375845688651131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-57965551130318602752011-05-04T08:32:53.353+09:302011-05-04T08:32:53.353+09:30Not bad for a woman with half a finger missing!!! ...Not bad for a woman with half a finger missing!!!

Are all your animals blind because you don't know how to do French Knots (lol), or do you have some grand finale planned to wow us all?<br /><br />Your fabric purchases are so much fun (I'm living vicariously through you, because even though we both have jobs now, things are still pretty tight).
