A Bit of Fabric Buying

Not much to report on the sewing room switch-around situation . . . I'm thinking there is little hope of progress on that front until the weekend comes around.  I have moved a few things here and there into the places that I'm sure I want them, but the room is FAR from complete.  Maybe I'll share some pictures tomorrow afternoon if I remember to take some.  ;)

In the meantime, I've finally gotten around to purchasing a bit of fabric to work on a project I've been wanting to tackle since we moved into this house in 2010.  Can you guess what this is for?

Premier Prints Indoor/Outdoor Mingei Blue Moon

I also tossed a bit of this into the cart because the price was right even if the heft of the fabric might be completely all wrong . . . we shall see when it gets here:

Rayon Challis Deco Turquoise/Orange

***On a random note: I don't know if this is something they always do or not, but I had been sitting weighing my decision on that first fabric for awhile . . . as in, I put it into my virtual cart and left it there to think about for like a week or something without actually purchasing it (does anyone else do this?!) . . . when I got an email from them saying something to the effect of "Buy that thing that's been sitting in your cart and we'll give you 15% off your purchase."  I really didn't need that much so it was nice to get a little discount on it anyway.  I always check RetailMeNot and the like to see what coupons are lurking (as well as go through Ebates), but a lot of times you need a $50 minimum purchase to get a discount code or whatever (which clearly, this time around I was not going to qualify for).***

Just throwing that out there . . . in case it might work for anyone else.  :)



P.S.  I was not spiffed by Fabric.com, RetailMeNot, or Ebates to mention them in this post.  They have no clue who I am except when I choose to do business with them as a regular ole consumer.  With that being said, I did toss a referral code into my link to Ebates if anyone wants to get a little spiff for signing up through me . . . I'll get one too.  Not being a pusher, just sayin'.  ;)
