There are only two things I have giant collections of and never do anything with, Paper and Fabric. I can't even tell you why I love them so much, but the paper thing has existed since I was about four or five, when I would carefully open and save all the wrapping paper from my birthday parties and store it in a cardboard box, like it was a pile of important documents I was going to need later to do my taxes.

I'm still weird like that. Ephemera junkie extraordinaire.

Anyway, like this fire needed to be fueled: 

The Paper Place is giving away A LOT of paper. 


A lot meaning almost $2000 worth. One of each pattern they have in the store. You know what I would do with that much paper? Probably roll in it. Or organize it by colour and pattern. 

And then store it in a box.

Fab-a-rif-ic
April 13, 2008
Gordon Ramsey is doing book signings in Burlington and Toronto at the Eaton Center April 27 & 28! I love that angry, angry man! Sadly I am not going to be able to go as it falls on a late Sunday afternoon/Monday evening and I will not be in Toronto then. Unless I missed my bus. And called in sick to work. Then there might be a possibility.

I picked up some incredibly cute fabric at Fabric Land this weekend. I'm not sure what I am going to make yet. Originally I was thinking aprons which would be cute, but I don't want to waste good potential either. I tend to collect fabric like I collect fancy paper. I blame it on my tactile nature. Pattern + Feel get me every single time. I think that second fabric screams home decor though, and I did just order 'Feather Your Nest' by Amy Butler. I am totally in love with the bed set on the cover. Except I asked D what he thought about it and this is how it went:

kitten says:
how much would you hate this bed set?
dave says:
oh god
dave says:
thats hideous
dave says:
you're just pulling my chain, right?
kitten says:
no.
dave says:
hid
dave says:
de
dave says:
ous
kitten says:
i actually really like it.
dave says:
no self respecting man would sleep in that


I can't win. Whatever, I'll sneak throw pillows in somehow.
