That has been the basis of my day today and of course being a big fan of using my favourites rather than the latest range available (call me old fashioned or frugal - take your pick) there was no more to be had anywhere so I have spent the majority of the day trying to match some sort of co-ordinating fabric. Thankfully it was for the back of a cushion....but I do love to match!!!
There were two things I meant to share yesterday. The first a lovely birthday gift I received from my friend Sandra belatedly as she has been off swanning around the UK (lucky duck) anyway it is simply gorgeous and I am a very spoilt girl...some lovely goats milk soap and a lovely vintage hanger and gorgeous card. Love it.
The other thing that I meant to do was to underline what Melody mentioned on her post on Tuesday about
Oscars Law. I try very hard to keep my blog an uplifting place. I hope I succeed. But I feel I have to remain authentically true to myself so when something I feel really strongly about occurs I feel I have to include it.

Oh Nooooooo. But now this cushion has a story to go with it! So that's good! I read about Oscars law too! :(
ReplyDeleteYour sneaky peek is lovely, so I would say you succeeded in finding the perfect fabric!
ReplyDeleteHave to say it does make me feel better when someone with your experience does that.... I don't feel such a fool now :-). It breaks my heart to see how people treat animals, pets should not be sold in pet shops. Hugs x
ReplyDeletelovely sneak peek Michelle,stamp out puppy farms.xx
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a shock when the brain kicks in just as you cut and you wish you had re-checked. Lucky is was for the back of the cushion but I know what you mean about wanting to match.
ReplyDeleteOscars Law is a good cause to support.
Oh I feel your pain. I have also done that. I love how you do that whole pause thing and just look at your fabric thinking oh my gosh how did I do that.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I do hate when I get it wrong when cutting. So pleased you found another way around it!
ReplyDeleteLife is full of challenges (darn it).
ReplyDeleteI have done that on more than one occasion Michelle but I am sure you were successful in finding something that is a great match .Oscars law sounds like a great cause, I hate to see pets being treated badly and those puppy farms are dreadful!
ReplyDeleteI think that we all have the right to free speech on our blogs and raising awareness or having a strong opinion about something that is important to you is not a negative.
ReplyDeleteMany the time I have cut through fabric only to realise I just screwed up. Im hunting for some fabric now because I miscalculated a border....
Oh the frustration! It's times like this I'm wont to call myself some very colorful names, lol!
ReplyDeleteOh, I know that feeling Michelle of the wrong cut, you have done very well with remedying that, very pretty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI agree that at times it's good to feature something different in ones blog, especially when it's an issue that's important to the blogger.
I hate it when I do that. Since I usually wait to long and then there is not anymore left anywhere. Oh WOW I just had to look and see what Oscar's Law was. That just breaks my heart.

Oops. Yes done that myself. Love the sneaky peek. Looks fabulous. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteI've done that too, when I only have a limited amount of fabric. Your cushion is going to be beautiful.
