I am definitely having a super exciting start to my Summer. I mean, what could be better (ok, close to better) than a trip to Pixar Studios? Oh, I don't know... maybe a box full of surprise fabric from Moda?
Shhhh... don't tell anyone, but I have a super-secret project I'm working on. That's why they sent it to me. Sheesh! I am a lucky ducky girl.
I couldn't be more giddy. Thank you Moda! You totally made my day. I've already started cutting into it. I can't help myself.
I've got other goodies laying around here too. Don't ask my why, but I love how these paint chips look all coordinated up in the cello bags. I've been getting ready to introduce my next fabric line (not just yet, but you know...). The printouts from my computer were kind of faded looking so, paint chips do the trick to let Windham know what color I want. But what do you think the peeps at home depot thought when I went in with a notebook and stood in the paint aisle for over an hour leaving with all of these? And no paint.
The only problem with so many colors is... it's SO many colors. I couldn't make up my mind.
At one point, I had my fabric printouts and cut up little pieces of paint chips all over the room. And glue stick in my hair. It's all part of the crazy process. And the good news is, I did finally decide. Color choices are on their way to Windham tomorrow. Yay-hoo! On to the next project. The super secret one.
(Photo disclaimer: my camera is in the shop, so I've been taking pics with my iPhone. Not terrible, but...)
I LOVE to load up on paint chips too-so visual and tactile all at the same time! I don't think I've ever filled up shopping bags though...

Tee hee. No. I filled the little cello bags when I got home. 'Cause they were purty. :)

I think that is a brilliant solution to let them know exactly what color you had in mind!

So very lucky you to receive goodies from Moda. I spy lots of lovlies. I paint chips. I keep them together with swatches of fabric or perhaps a ad I tore out of a magazine.

It's amazing how good phone cameras are these days. Your Moda package and super secret project are very intriguing. Can't wait to see what you do.

Ohhh, I'm so jealous!! Of course I'm not a fabric designer, so I wouldn't get stuff like that! : ) Best of luck with your super secret project!!!
