Today's my shopping in a craft shop
My second shopping list. The first one in a super market is this.
I got Dualduty quilting thread in approx. 3.5 dollars, and 6 snaps in 1.5 dollars.
I found a pretty green fabrics with lots of frogs.
It costs 6 dollars per meter.
And thin batting(poly) and adhesive interlining. Each costs 4.5 dollars per meter.
That's all. I wanted to get more fabrics, but my boyfriend was waiting for me in a bookstore next to the craft shop.
I want to go shopping by myself sometimes, but we both have no joys currently, so he always accompanies with me. It's OK but sometimes, I need much time...
Oh, and the day before yesterday, I got one fabric in flea market.
It costs only 3 dollars for 5 meters! The flower print is beautiful but it's old and a little yellowed.
I used the fabric on my new pouch. I love this!
Mai, that green frogie fabric is so cute! hehe I know exactly what you mean when you wanted to shop for more fabrics but someone is waiting for you. Same thing happened to me on sunday when i was at the craft shop...i wanted to get more craft supplies but my brother was waiting for me in the car. So i had to cut the shopping short and just take those that i need. Sometimes i would love to go shopping alone too. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to look for thin batting(poly) and adhesive interlining too at the local craft shop and is just amazing that the shop dont sell any! So sad! :(
I saw your new pouch in your shop and thatz a really cute pouch! I love that lovely flower fabrics too!
Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!!
The froggy fabric is lovely! And your little pouch is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI love your frog fabric!
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem when I shop with my boyfriend. I don't feel comfortable spending a lot of time browsing while he waits.
Such cutie frogs, can't wait to see what you'll be making with them!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the lack of time for shopping and browsing when your boyfriend is waiting, it happens to me all the time ;0)
Oh, many people feels same! I feel happy a little (* v *).
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend says me that he doesn't mind never. But it's difficult to ignore someone who is waiting for me.
Jacqueline, I cannot find any cotton batting in craft shop. They sell only poly ones. It's fun to know the differences by countries.
Thank you for all your comments! I'm thinking what I make with this cute frogs.
hi, mai

You know I feel the same way too, when someone is waiting for me, that's why I never take my boyfriend with me.
