awwwww...

jam packed quilt guild meeting last night with a valentine swap.  we also had a food tasting fundraiser that included lots of delish dishes to try.  of course, my taste buds are nearly dead thanks to being nearly asphyxiated in my apartment with alcohol-based fumes on a constant basis, but somebody did bring in the required southern dish of pimento cheese, which was good.  and the dessert winner was a caramel chocolate chip square.  the pieces were tiny so ate it all!  came home with this little prezzie...

new fabric is always good, isn't it?  the reds are from a sandy gervais line, a favorite designer....and now that my wrong polka dot fabric is getting returned, doncha know saw a brand new line from jen kingwell, that down under design diva.   it's called "circulus" and the dots are perfect for my "midnight at the oasis" which just happens to be one of jen's design winners too! 

photo isn't great but you get the idea....so will wait until some shops have sales and pick some up...this will be perfect!   ***  behemoth turkeys of recovery challenges, noxious apartment irritants and constant budget woes are ever present--working to keep a positive outlook, not always successful, but hoping for a sunnier february!
