Linen.....

Yes, well some of you know I have this thing about Linen.
Well after reading Jodie's post, I was very jealous that her Lincraft had some nice linen and even better at such a great price.
My local Lincraft is pretty hopeless when it comes to fabric choices, the only thing they have a great range of is scrapbooking supplies.......of which I am not into!!
So........anyway........back to the story.......I decided to go check out Lincraft again.....hoping that maybe.......just mabye they might have something nice.
Well lo and behold that had this lovely linen, all in pretty colours for like $6.50 a metre!! Well one could not let that go by could one!!
The problem was which colours to choose!! I had to stick to 4 different rolls as that is all I could carry.........as in usual Lincraft style........they have a sale on............and they have 1 counter open!! And of course that counter is right at the front of the store.....waaaaay away from the fabric section!!
But that is OK, I will put up with a sore arm for linen at that price LOL

BUT...............the story doesn't end there!

I need to share with you one lesson I haven't learnt yet...............when one is bored at work, it is a bad idea to go browsing Etsy!! I used to have this problem with Ebay, but then someone.......probably someone reading this post.........introduced me to Etsy!

Now you must go look at the fabric this girl has - absolutely gorgeous!!!

Well I have lasted this far into the new year without buying any fabric.......that was until today LOL
When it arrives I will show you my buys.........well maybe half of it..............................LOL

Ok, going back to my stitching, keeps my eyes away from the computer when quiet at work LOL
