Green is the colour of my true self

It's a new dawn a new day a new life for me......My beloved partner in crime went on to glory without me.  Hey, who is going to appreciate my thrifty finds now? NO body and I mean nobody was excited about the deals and steals I found like she was....  She was a joy.  When I find those bargains I still walk in and say "Hey Gran look what I found and guess how much?"  what a silly game we use to play....I miss her.

She did leave me behind a great place to create at least for now. I now have a dedicated place to practice my magic.  I will be there for now until...until...its green

Ok, here I go.....I have decided not to buy any more commercial fabric!  Why when there is so much cool stuff already out there.  I have been having a blast collecting velvet, silk, linen, wool, and cotton from thrift stores yard sales and such.  I have learned to tell at a touch what fabric is made of without seeing it.  I get fooled sometimes but not often.  I trust my instinct.  I can move through a rack at the thrift store with lightning speed when I am on a mission.  I want to learn as much as I can as I go.

I am going to post some of my treasures here so watch this space as we have a blast gathering all that is good with recycled or is it upcycled, repurposed or redefined or beautified again or twice or thrice treasured...whatever you want to call it I call it joy "fabricized"
