On days that I go to the library to write, I usually try to pick up a few books that I think might spark the interest of my big kids. Right now Max is into animals and Maggie is into fashion.
Much to my daughters dismay... I am not very fashionable. I have a uniform that I really like - jeans and a gray t-shirt. Sometimes I wear green.

I do, however, have a thing for fabric. The pages of this book are filled with gorgeous "vintage" prints that made me want to dive right into the 1950's.
Back to the Future was last weeks "Family Movie Night" selection (capitalized and in quotations because it's kind of a big deal). The humor was a bit over the heads of my kids... but it sparked some fun conversations.

Max would like to go back to see dinosaurs. Maggie would like to go back and be a princess. I would like to go back and fill the DeLorean to the gills with 1950's vintage floral print fabrics.
Most likely those fabrics would sit on a shelf until all my kids are in elementary school... but someday I would turn them into beautiful warm quilts.
Leave a comment if you have a favorite online fabric shop... I am looking to get some over here on Ben's next trip to the states (December).
I don't have a favorite online place to shop for fabric. I am a sucker for being able to touch and see the fabric in real life. So right now I'm mostly limited to JoAnn's. Doesn't help you much. I totally understand the fabric obsession. I inevitably end up with way more fabric than I use b/c I always buy extra yardage. Someday, I too, will make some scrap quilts with my leftover pieces. :)
