Dig in!

Here are some new project supplies from my mom!!!

I can't wait to dig into this brightly colored imported cotton from Greece!!
It's called Butterfly Mercerized Cotton, and it's BEAUTIFUL!!!!

And apparently, there's no more...  This. Is. It.




 
Even Zip had to come and see this rare treat.


I'm thinking of something in summer and winter... 
possibly Bertha Gray Hayes...



It's so pretty and soft, we all have to touch it!

A Utah weaving find!





My sister found a weaving store for us to go to during our visit to Utah!  It was called Three Wishes Fiber Arts and they had some cool stuff.  I picked out a few cones and asked the lady how much they would be and she said she would make me a deal I couldn't refuse.  Typically when someone says that it's time to turn and run the other way!  But she was right, it was a deal I couldn't refuse!  In fact, I went back for a few more cones...


The colors I got match each other really well, except this one.  I picked out this yarn for the thick and thin qualities it had.  I thought it would be fun to work with!


I think the above colors would look really good in the P2P2 project, this picture in particular:


I might have to explore this avenue further!
