New Years Day

This has been a great New Years Day. I went to Hancock Fabrics today to purchase a cutting mat with a friend, but they did not have the large mat so I just picked up one of the corrugated boards to place on my cutting table. The board was half-priced so I was elated. My friend was anxious to go, because she checked out before I had time to look at the pattern book. The simplicity patterns were $1.99 today.
I really have to get some sewing buddies. My friends do other types of needlework, but they do not get the enjoyment I receive when I sit in a store for hours, touching the fabric, looking at patterns and dreaming. This is an experience that only a sewer would know.lol
Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get started on an item to post. I know that a girlfriend wants to hang out tomorrow, so this will probably stall my efforts. Let me know how your New Years Day was spent.
