This is not a craft blog, I promise

So I couldn't resist, and I have guilty feelings about it....but I bought some Heather Ross fabric online and holy crap it arrived today! It took just under two weeks to arrive from Florida, so I was totally surprised to open my mailbox and find it stuffed full of fabric.


I found a great yarn outlet on Etsy of all places, and they answered all of my questions and don't seem to charge a lot for shipping to Canada. Here is the link in case anyone is interested.

I'm planning to make two Buttercup bags, and a sundress with this fabric. With leftovers.

I also ventured out to a yarn store called Beehive Wool Shop that I noticed in downtown Victoria. Holy crap was it ever awesome! It was a huge store, and they had everything I wanted and even some yarns I was surprised to see there.


I restrained myself and only bought what I went for. I'm planning a hat with a big button for the 'teal' yarn. Two baby apple hats that will use the red and green yarns. The green yarn will also be used to make another hat with a pattern I'm afraid of, but want to try out. The grey yarn was bought at another shop (which was also awesome) and will be a hat for Brad. This frees up the yarn I have from my ripped out scarf for something else - likely a cable hat or some mittens.

I'll get back to posting about Victoria and other random mentalness now. I promise.
