I have a magic ticket….

So it’s no secret that I’ve had one of these cool wee tickets to Fat Quarterly Retreat London 2012 since they were released…
BUT
There was quite a large part of me that wouldn’t let me get too excited about going…
Because while I had a ticket to the event, and had also booked my hotel room, there was the ever so small matter of a plane ticket standing in the way of me getting there!
Oh… and the money to buy said plane ticket at this time of year!! That too…

However, today I get to feel a little like this…

Because thanks to a very unexpected lump sum of money dropping into my account yesterday courtesy of the Australian Family Tax Office {Thank you AFTO I heart thee!!}, that I had no idea I was even entitled to this year, I can finally get excited. Because within an hour of finding out about said money it was already spent and I am now the proud owner of a return ticket for Abbie & I to London!

YEAH BABY – London here we come – officially this time heheheh…

I’m sure your all very very green with envy excited for me, so I just wanted to share the great news 😉

No escaping me now UK peeps, I’m off to stalk you in person LOL

Ok, back to sorting my scraps… it’s a hard job but somebody has to do it {Yeah right… loving it!}

PS Totally different topic:
I’m thinking of listing some “pre-cut into usable patchwork sized” scraps in my shop for a low price just to share the love since I have so many scraps & I know lots of people would love a fast injection of lots of different modern prints to their stashes.
– The cost will mostly be to cover part of my time cutting them since it’s such a time consuming job…
So far they are sized 5 inch, 4 inch, or 3 inch squares. 3 inch, 2 1/2 inch & 2 inch strips of various lengths. Mostly heavily modern designer patchwork fabric with a small amount of dress weight fabric thrown into the mix.
So if you’d like some then speak up now with what size & colour variety you like & I’ll put together a pack and custom listing for you. Feel free to make request of designers or prints you’ve seen me use too and I’ll try and oblige {because I’m nice like that}.
