This weekend the Creativ Festival was in town - aka the Creative Sewing and Needlework Festival! And boy what fun I had! Adrienne and I made our way downtown to the Convention Centre outfitted with our empty back packs, bottles of water, a few snacks and of course our credit cards. Adrienne bee lined it right to one of many scrap booking stalls ( I think they might want to change the name to the Scrapbooking Festival). I meandered to Iguana Beads and was struck by two trays of vintage beads! I love anything vintage. I wish I could have taken the whole tray of beads home… but alas I am not one who works with beads or jewelry, but I couldn't help bringing home a sample of some of my favorites. The holidays are just around the corner, there might be enough for a couple bracelets.
I took us about a two to walk the rest of the show and them we spilt up, each went our own way… I managed to find some nice fabrics for who-knows-what, a quilt kit with Amy Butler fabrics and a few vintage looking papers and, rub ons.
With our credit cards still warm, back packs full and an overwhelming exhaustion creeping in we made our way home.
By the time I got home my second wind had hit and I couldn't sit still. Desperate Housewives was still a couple hours away and I had a craving to be a little "Domestic Diva-ish" so I baked up some Chewy Chocolate Chip, Skor Oatmeal cookies - FANTABULOUS! I love it when the house smells of home baking. I find it brings me back to a simpler place in time where mortgagees and, 9 to 5 jobs didn't exist.
For my sniveling sister, a tissue holder. This fabric reminds me of our childhood... I can't place my finger on the occasion or the object, but this fabric brings me back to the same simple place that the cookies did
