My stash is expanding

I have to start off and say I hate face book and social networking in general.  I do not know why, but today I will have to give it a little slack.

My wife loves to read facebook.  She is not a big poster, but she follows along with every ones life (hum I love my blog, but hate facebook, I guess I don't get this any way) The other day some one our family knows puts a face book post saying that they have some fabric that their mother no longer wants that might be good for quilting.

So my wife asks me if I am interested.  Ya of course I was.  What I got is fantastic.  They commented that its old and out of date, but hey I think its wonderful.  I got a huge bin full of fabrics I went though the whole basket and all I can say is I have ideas for a few dozen projects and I will just dent the pile.

My wife's and my taste differ greatly so it is interesting what excites me and what excites her.  Their are a ton of different plaid fabric which I love (wife does not lol).  All I could think is wow that would be fun to do a quilt with 20+ different plaid fabrics.  Any way some of this material is 10+ years old some is even older and it is cool so excited.

Not to be totally out done, the mail box did bring me a surprise too.  In the mail I got my buttons from Africa I won these 2 months ago (the first crafty thing, while any thing I had ever won).  These buttons made from a company Incomparable Buttons are hand made in Africa.  They are just fantastic I won them as a sponsored giveaway from Sew Cal Gal that link will take you to the post about these buttons.  I was 1 of 10 people to win and I was so excited.  They are worth the wait.

My wife Tanya's Maiden name is Button. Buttons are exciting to me.  I want to make a wall hanging of some type out of them.  My father in law gave me a wall decoration long ago that read "Button Button who has the Button".  He pointed out to me that I got the Button and that I am to honor and take care of her forever. 

 I love her deeply.
