It's my party and I'll buy if I want to


Greetings from Fabric Heaven. 


It's not an online fabric store, though catchy name.


It's the view from the top of my sewing table since my birthday stash arrived! Now to the untrained eye this may look excessive. And, if this was anything but an annual occurrence only (okay maybe bi-annual if I'm good for santa) then yes, you'd be forgiven for thinking someone has a teensy weensy problem. But when it comes to frittering away birthday moolah these days, I'm a simple gal: No handbags here. No shoes. No i-pads. No chocolate. No perfume. Just fabric. Sweeeeeet fabric from across the globe.  If you'd like to know what any of these are, ask away, they're all etsy purchases!


This post should probably have been titled: You know you've got it bad when..

    This probably says something about MY problem, but that pile looks really sweet, and not THAT excessive. Hee hee. Happy Birthday!

    Haha okay that makes me feel better @inder-ific and @ricebabies. @Jessica its by Kokka and I think its 'Carnival' in grey. I just did a search for it in etsy's 'supplies' section and found it.

    Haha, I suffer from the same addiction. It's pretty harmless I should think.
    And you make other people happy with what you create from that pile of fabric. So it's win-win for everybody. No?

    I am GREEN with envy. Not that my stash is exactly fading away, but that yummy pile of new fabric in decent yardage is killing me!

    Exactly what I bought myself for my birthday! Hubby was very happy that he didn't have to find anything as I bought them on my own :)
    Love the viewmaster reel fabric. If my son had his own room, that would definitely be 'the fabric' for pillows.

    Me, too. Why shop for clothes when you can go fabric shopping. Happy Birthday.

    What a perfect present and gorgeous photos! I miss looking at my stash with it all packed up in removalist boxes, at least now when I need a fix I can look at yours! x
