Had a pretty good weekend as my partner and i tuned into the Hopkins V Calzaghe fight and was pretty pleased with the outcome. Although we had to stay up until 3:00am it was totally worth the wait. This week will start with an early morning meeting with my business adviser (which usually lasts an hour), beauty aids and fabric shopping. I’m really looking forward to visiting a few fabric shops and seeing all the lovely textiles and colour variations. I get my inspiration when in these shops and usually get deals because I befriend the owners and he/she admires my passion for textiles and most crafts (alway plugging my business). I could spend hour upon hour going through everything. This reminds me of a period while living in New York, when I would go fabric shopping from 9:00am and ending up leaving the store at closing hours or sometimes had a lock in (once they got to know me better). Credited they were large stores and I did leave with bags full of fabric. So, I didn’t feel guilty (hah hah).
Some women have clothes, handbag and shoes fetish I certainly have a fabric, trimmings and craft hardware fetish. I just can’t get enough. I’m having a cuppa and mapping out my day as I’m planning a budget and an exact list of fabrics needed. Just to go off the subject, friday I purchased a pair of lovely neon orange low heeled slingbacks as I was getting a super deal on them from the designer. I know you’re wondering why I bought them (such a bright colour), the truth is I have always felt it’s good to support new & young designers. We all were in the same boat at one point and seeing all the top designers getting all the praise annoys me. There are so many talented designers out there who need recognition. I would be more than happy to promote their work. So if you know anyone drop me a line..
