My little problem

Whenever I have a jones for my particular vice, it's like this: suddenly I have to see/buy/feel some fabric and only then will I feel better. Before I run wildly out onto the streets and either down to P&S or up to Mood or B&J fabrics, I click over to Reprodepot Fabrics (I am a confessed fabric addict. Sadly there is no Fabrics Anonymous...yet). I could almost say they're responsible for my addiction but then I wouldn't be taking full responsibility blah blah blah yak yak yak. (No I am not ready to face this issue! Just step off! Damn!)

One of the first fabrics that transfixed me was something from this line, which I now have several yards of and no idea what to do with.



Cats and dogs and little penguins promising a special show with a Nice & Beautiful hat! Or look at this one. Wouldn't you like to visit this farm, with ducks, swans, sheep, bears, pigs, and a monkey all there to welcome you?



I'm also a fan of Heather Ross, an illustrator and fabric designer. I love the idea that if you saw this from far away you'd think it was a random pattern, until you got closer and realized they're actually swimming pools with people diving into them...



And no, fabric hasn't completely infantilized me. I don't always need cute little pictures of things. I also start drooling and walk like a zombie toward things like this:



So moderne! But I guess there are pictures of things in that one, too. Whatever. Please do not judge me. Just give me some cash money so I can go buy some more fabric.

I love having you as a blog stalker, Neil! Keep on stalking, pleeeeze. And I'm so glad you dig the fabrics. Now, hmmm...let me get to work on a plaque or ribbon for you. Heh heh.
