big girl pants, collector, fabric, moments, quilter, stash, women

had a wonderful evening with some amazing women…

a delicious dinner where we shared stories and updates on our lives… followed by a few chapters of a very interesting book with some thought provoking questions…

these women have been with me for many years and through many experiences… some quite amazing and others very difficult…

at the end of our gathering out came someone’s stash of fabric for a quilting project… many of these women are serious quilters…

  

I have been a fabric collector for a number of years… I have gathered it, but don’t actually make things… use it for decorative purposes… 

haven’t been in a fabric store for at least five years, but I must say that looking at the stash did make my fingers itch a bit… 

my life has changed and I don’t have a need for fabric at this point in my life, but do enjoy seeing what’s out there…

enjoyed the moments…

sea shells…

abalone, collector, IKEA, sea shells, table

when I was about twelve a colleague of my dad’s gave me my first sea shell… it was an abalone from Florida where she had been on vacation…

ever since then I have collected shells… mainly from others who travelled all over the world, but some I have gathered myself…

since I was about twenty I have dreamed about a coffee table with a glass cover where I could put the shells so that they wouldn’t get dusty or dirty…

a couple of months ago I saw such a table at IKEA… it was fairly expensive and only came in an off-white colour…

today we were there again, and found the table in gray… gave in and bought it…

brought it home in two thin boxes and then Crystal put it together…

table bits and pieces...

table bits and pieces…

there were many, many pieces but she did a great job and got it together without a single extra piece…

table all together...

table all together…

then we spent some time reorganizing the living room, as the table takes up quite a bit of room…

next, will be digging out the box of shells and putting them into the drawer…

looking forward to it…
