Juice Changes Tune, Says YAY for Consumerism!

Julie came over for a little lunch today and we did some planning for Thursday's meeting of the International Craft Conspiracy. I'm hosting this meeting, and teaching sort of a Quilting 101--basic techniques (because, er, I'm not really qualified to teach anything beyond that). Julie and I headed over to Glad Creations Quilt Block in Powderhorn (34th & Bloomington). It's a great little shop, and lucky for us, they were having a New Year's Sale. Everything in the store was 20% off, and we were stepping on people left and right. The place was so incredibly packed. Needless to say, I left with some excellent fabrics for the quilt as well as a nice little pile of fabric for yet another project that probably won't get finished. Why don't we have more quilt shops in Minneapolis?

Then, Shad and I headed down to IKEA to spend some Christmas money that was burning a hole in my pocket. Shad indulged me by pushing the cart while I filled it up with stuff for my clubhouse--furry rug, light fixtures, coffee table, plants... I had entered the store with the intent to buy a few storage boxes. Whoopsies. Yay for consumerism!

Car is keeping a very close eye on my new white furry rug. She's not quite sure what to think about it. I think she's pretty sure I brought home the pelt of an enormous white persian kitty.
