the colors are coming

The blogosphere is all a twitter as another week of color approaches and I for one can't wait. If you're new to this phenomenon go check out Stephanie or port2port's blog for all of the juicy details, then start planning your photos. I've already spent a couple of days trying to decide what to do this week. Should I use the tiny ninjas again or go with something different? Should I pre-plan all of my images or should I wait and find my shot opportunity each day?

Decisions, decisions... I guess I'll have to decide pretty soon.

In the meantime, I've got some photos to show you of the things I bought and saw while Mark and I were in Waco and Dallas last week. The new fabrics and buttons are going to be part of a top secret project that I'm working on. Oh man... now that I've mentioned it I just know I won't be able to keep it a secret for long. For now I'll only say that I'm planning a big surprise for you (my readers) and that it will take place at the end of July. Okay, that's it -- no more information!

Oh, and before you get to the photos let me thank everyone who has commented my last post. Wow! I had no idea I was missing out on so many wonderful blogs and I'm only a third of the way through the list. If there's anyone else out there with suggestions don't forget that I'm doing the drawing on Friday so there's still plenty of time to get in on some free stuff.

I love the mod graphic fabric in the second photo. It has a great color palette and wonderfully designed. Lucky find!

what a lovely little journalist you have there.

All such great finds, lucky you!

Beautiful post Laurie! I just read your blue day post too and noticed that the third fabric down looks much like your Grandmother's stationary. So pretty!
Love the found art too. Isn't stuff like that the greatest!?
:)
