Overflowing

I have FINALLY started moving all the fabric!! I'm a bit ashamed that I have so much. Especially as I dig further and further into the piles and cabinets, remembering this or that piece was rather expensive and here it sits in a heap! Though it's difficult for a hoarder like me, I MUST give some of it away. I have a full sewing room just for fabric and it can't even contain all the fabric! And the saddest thing is that I just keep buying more! However, in my own defense, this is my business so I have to be on the lookout for vintage fabrics at good prices. Ok, that's no excuse. So... I'd like to tithe some of it to a few people who may be interested (if there's no one, it's off to the Goodwill it'll go - or maybe there's a church whose ladies group could use it). I'll offer to all of you first. If you, or anyone you would like to send a gift of fabric to, are interested, I'll send mixed 2-3 pound packages out to the first 3 who email (no cost to you). I'm sure there's more than enough to go beyond 3 but let's start there. Bear in mind that most of it is floral (roses) but there are some stripes, checks, etc. too. Use the email link in my profile and remember to provide a shipping address.

Now let's put aside my obvious addiction and move to something less full of guilt =) I received my order from Present Past yesterday. Look how pretty it is with the chocolate sucker and the vintage buttons. And that's before I even opened the most gorgeous notecards! Amazing! My husband and I were discussing the photos on each one. Really, go over to her store and take a look!!

On to an entirely different topic (betcha I don't get much accomplished today - it seems my mind is wanderlust this morning!)... I was at our local Target store the other day (buying school supplies that are just a newer version of what was sent home only 2 1/2 months ago. Don't tell the kids but I'm putting the same scissors, glue, etc. back in the bag to go live in their new class room. Afterall, a backpack alone for 4 children can break a person) See, probably won't get much done today =) So... anyhow... this sea-green corner kept catching my eye. I couldn't think of any good reason that I would need even one of those items, but Ooooh I want those pretty bowls! (can't you just hear the whiny inner child?! It's just not fair! Backpacks and folders but no sparkly green bowls!)

And yet only hours before that moment in Target, I was commenting about how God has given me exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or think... Here today, I start my blog with more fabric than I can even store... Fleeting things and still I want them... Father, as I see all these yummy things that tempt me so, help me know you and what you want so that I will be filled with the fullness of yourself.
