Ah, the weekend.

Well, readers, if you haven’t already figured it out,

our regularly scheduled Two Spoonfuls post has been delayed this week.

My foodie partner is neck deep in boxes, so we’ll skip this week and will post again on the 22nd.

Now unpack those pots and pans, Ginny!

______________________________

We’re enjoying a lovely sunny day here.

Josh is out for a bike ride with the guys and I’m going back and forth between the kitchen and my studio.  Yesterday I was inspired to start a new project for my shop, after receiving the latest issue of my favorite Japanese craft magazine: Cotton Time. (I’ve been stalking Superbuzzy like crazy waiting for the new issue to arrive!)

I had to get just a bit of this Matryoshka linen blend, too.

Last night I collected my scraps of Japanese linen and canvas fabrics,

gave them a good wash and ironing, and started cutting.

I’ll have more photos of what I’ve got in mind for them as I get more done.

In the meantime – here are some photos from Cotton Time that might inspire you:

The little sheep pouch…..*sigh*.

Isn’t this purse pretty?  I’d be afraid to spoil it by using it.

Have a great day!

Jenn : )

    So many pretty fabrics! I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve. I need to make a trip to Baltimore to pick up a copy of Cotton Time. Once I found out there is a Japanese book store down there I’d much rather pay the $12-13 for it rather than the $20 something with shipping on Etsy. Plus downtown Baltimore is kinda cool now. I tried to get the owners just the mail me a copy each month when it came in, but sadly there was a language barrier. Wouldn’t it be nice if Cotton Time offered a US resident subscription?!
