gingham crazy

Is it any wonder with the dreary, grey weather, 
that I find myself craving color?

Gingham, in all of it's pretty shades to be exact.
Eight yards in assorted shades.
This morning, my youngest and I took a trip to the fabric shop.
Along with the gingham, picked up some
 bright stickers on clearance from Martha's line.
Lots of lovely buttons, too.
Happiness equals color in my book.
Can you have too many buttons?
I think, not. I've plans for these pretties...
stay tuned.

Miss Molly, I hit the flea market yesterday and found a stack of gingham aprons all pressed perfectly and stitched. They reminded me of you. Happy and colorful. How can you not smile. My daughter and I are having so much fun going through the Make book. THanks again and again...Renee
