Fabric Stash: All in Pink

It's been a while since I showed you any additions to my stash. I have been buying some fat quarters here and there from time to time but nothing major really because I am trying to work with whatever fabric I already have in my stash. But some prints are simply impossible to resist. Just like the two prints below by Atsuko Matsuyama. Look at these cherries and strawberries! All in pink!

The pretty buttons are made by Barb Smith of Theodora Cleave. They are not meant to be washed, but for the items like pouches, envelopes or purses they are perfect. I have an idea in mind for the wheel barrow and the chicken, but let's see when I get a chance to get to that.

All the pretty pieces were purchased on Etsy from the MissMatatabi and Washimatta stores. Right now I am not sure what to use them for, I just like looking at them and patting them, and displaying them on a shelf in my sewing nook. Did you ever collect pretty candy wrappers or wrappers from Japanese bubble gum as a child? We did. We used to keep them in special boxes or purses and would trade them, swap them or just sit and look at them and try copy cute drawings on them. So I feel a bit like a child when it comes to pretty fabrics - I want to keep it, maybe swap it and look at it from time to time or maybe most of the time.

Ain't these bunnies cute? I thought so and got this piece hoping to make something for Easter. I picked both prints at Spotlight on my last visit there a couple of weeks ago. When I look at my stash and the limited time I have for sewing nowadays, I think that my stash is already quite big and I should stop buying any more, but when I am working on a new idea, I do feel like I need more and more pretty prints just for the future. When I have more time again. :-)

Have a wonderful week everybody! Larisa xox
