Fabric Love

I went shopping for supplies the other day, and came home with some linen, and various trims. I can't wait to play around with combinations and make some lovely little items out of what I bought. Not pictured was some beautiful organic cotton fleece in ivory, that I'm going to do a few baby items in. Usually all you can find in fleece is polyester, but my favorite fabric shop in Berkeley, had some of this soft and cozy fabric. I'm excited to play around with it. I think that means I have to conquer my fear of the serger also.
I ordered these Liberty of London fabrics also, and they are the color palate I'm going to be working with for the newer items.

Hope everyone has a fun weekend, I'm starting out mine by going here for dinner tonight, followed by some cozy Friday night TV viewing.....

I'm nosey, so tell me what you are going to do this weekend :)
