you'll find me in {aisle 10}

In honor of  National Sewing Month...I thought I would share a little into my world of obsession.
For those of you who don't know...I am a  material girl...a fabric-aholic!  All it takes is a look into my home...and you will easily get it.  I even have fabric in storage....{crazy} - right?   But seriously, I have plans or intentions for most of it.  ;)  I admit to this, so I believe that makes my first step into recovery.  And, I refuse to use the word hoarder, due to the fact that it is all organized, in piles or bins, and I know where to find things easily and it's clean.  Thanks A&E for giving us a glimpse into true hoarding...so that I am okay with my surroundings!

This is my FAVORITE aisle at one of my FAVORITE fabric stores -Aisle #10!  Seriously...I can spend a few good hours here.  Either trying to search for something I purchased before, and need more of it...or trying to figure out what is up on the top shelves that I haven't yet discovered.  I try not to bug the guys who work here too much by asking them to pull things down from the upper layers of the fabric stash.

bolts upon bolts of undisovered goodies!

Here's my shopping cart.  It's usually packed so full it's hard to steer and see over the bolts of fabric enough to make it down the aisle.  Dot's and stripes in tow.

What a fun photo shoot!  I was so excited to use my niece Anna and her cousin Cianna for models.  They both were in town visiting Minneapolis! What a beautiful pair. Love how the sun lit up this shot up so beautifully!

The girls were great!  They had so much fun goofing around with each other, and came up with some really silly faces along the way.

Here's a shot post photo shoot...with my niece Abigail, my mom, and Anna.  I was fortunate to have them all along to help out!

Thanks to my wonderful photographer Sonja!  Her pictures continue to impress me...what a wonderful friend!  I think I'm going to try to get a shot of her next time...get her out from behind that camera ;)
