One Word: Wolves!

Another fabric scouting trip today...days like this bring me such bliss! I have come to realize that no matter what I do with my life, it needs to involve fabric in some way. :) I think every other crafter in the greater Portland area had the same idea because the store was like a fabric feeding frenzy full of eager ladies wanting to create. I feel so lucky to have the Nation's Largest Fabric Store! in my own backyard. The Fabric Depot is the mecca for the fabric obsessed. I was thoroughly entertained by the crafty clientelle as they loaded their carts with fabric for holiday projects. Two ladies in particular really grabbed my attention as they were showing each other their finds and soliciting opinions on what delights these materials would eventually become. One friend held up a fabric and said, "I thought this would be good for the pot holders" and then she said "shoulder bags" which naturally got my attention...giddy with excitement she said to her friend, "and for the shoulder bags I thought 'what about wolves?'" No joke, this is the fabric she held up and I had to leave the aisle to keep my giggles under wraps.

I know there are wolf lovers out there, but I don't happen to want any pictured on my handbag...just sayin'.
