the scoop.

i love.

i love lotta. i think we all do. and i love my new lotta fabric. not sure which one to cut into first. or which project to start first. poor h-kun is going to get lotta'd out. around our place. oh well.

yes, i bought a lot of lotta fabric recently. you already know that. some of you are waiting for it. to be sold in the little shop.

you are going to have to wait for a couple of weeks. sorry. i need to clear out some old stock. to make room.

to make room for all this lotta goodness. so much of it. and some other great fall fabric.

so check back often. don't miss out.

pay-it-forward.

it's time. yatta! i was lucky enough to receive a lovely pouch. from steph. thank you! it was part of a pay-it-forward deal. this is my pay-it-forward offer. the things below. times three. the nice thing about this fabric is that you can't buy it in my shop. it's special for you. plus a special kit kat. and some other goodness, too.

i need three people to send this to. who are willing and dedicated to pay-it-forward to three other people. leave a comment here. before sunday night. japanese time. and i will choose three of you. well, h-kun will choose the three of you. randomly, of course. leave your name and tell me something you are truly thankful for. and why.

sunday night update. and the winners are ... lourdes, jenn, and claire. lucky you!

Lotta is great and so are her fabrics! I can’t resist so much temptation and with my promise not to buy fabrics... I just give it a try! I’m truly thankful for having creative skills and for the opportunity I was given to study Graphic Design after having worked for quite some years and to change my profession. It felt like coming home. I‘m thnkful too for the day I discovered blogland. It became a daily joy and inspiration!

Yummy stuff! I'm really thankful that I have the luxury of crafty stuff in my spare time while holding a full time job!

[Jade]

I'm just thankful for a great husband who'll let me do my own crafty/arty stuff at home....also thankful I don't have to go back to full-time work yet, but most of all, really thankful I discovered the world of craft blogs and all the lovely, generous ladies out there!

I'm thankful that I had the chance to live life in another country (6 years, Italy), experiencing another culture and then being lucky enough to come home to a wonderful place (Sydney, Australia) at the end of it.

I'm trully thankful that I knew my granmother (on my fathers side) as she was the wonderful woman who taught me how to knit,cook, sew and bake, as well as teaching me what the most important things in life are. I am thankful for her warm hugs and her eyes that twinkled when she smiled. She passed away last year, but not without passing her beautiful lifestyle down to me.

I'm thankful for having a warm, safe bed at night and people to love. As well as lovely blogs to look at like yours! Seeing that Kitkat also reminded me of how thankful I was when a faulty box was delivered to the local corner shop 25 or so years ago - solid chocolate all the way through!

[erin]

it all looks lovely! leave me out of your drawing...i have already received my share of good-ness!

I am thankful for three healthy, beautiful children. Every day. No matter how frustrating they can be or tiring. I am thankful for them and for having a husband by my side in the raising of them.

[lourdes]

This is a fantastic idea. There are many things to be thankful for in life. I am thankful to have the most wonderful, supportive husband any woman can dream of and for having incredible friends and an amazing family. I am thankful because I have been given many opportunities in life for academic growth and because unlike my parents who immigrated to this country late in life, I have the chance to pursue my dreams. I am thankful for so many other things...

[Nanette]

What else, your fabric of course!

[Tricia]

I am truly thankful for a fulfilling job, a comfortable home, two healthy, funny children, and a husband with whom to share it all. And I'm truly thankful that funny lump in my abdomen this summer didn't turn out to be the big scary C-word I thought it was.

[Teri]

You sure know how to keep us excited in anticipation! So looking forward to the next shop update. And we want to see your sewing projects too! I am thankful for my new-found craft of sewing. Your very own good-ness blog and shop were what helped to inspire me and get me on the track to take the first step. Thank you Leslie!!

[Mymsie]

Fun giveaway! Who could turn down fabric and chocolate? ;)

[shael]

I am thankful I met my husband Tobin because without him we would never have met our daughter Ophelia.

And I'm thankful for chocolate/orange kit kat's too!

[Jenn]

Love your blog!
I'm thankful for my family's sense of humor, without which I wouldn't have made it through the past month.

[emily]

What am I thankful for? It wouldn't even know where to begin... The world is so miraculous - colors, shapes, textures, family, friends, beauty, random acts of kindness, hope, faith, love, creativity, and joy. I guess those are a just few things that I am truly thankful for, and also that they're all things I've been blessed to experience in my life.

[stephanie]

i am thankful for goodness like yours. i love that you have taken your location and met the "needs" of so many of us Poor Americans starving for great desings and goodies! I am super duper triple thankful for my gocco printer and i think allllll those months of waiting, pondering, and shopping were leading me to you and your wonderful store! thank you for your patience when we (I) bug you for stuff. Thank you for your flexibility and willingness to do special orders! Thank you for all your Good Ness!
;)
loves!!

i am thankful for relationships... without them life would be dull and boring.

[Mymsie]

I'm thankful for my friends, who have been especially good to me during some rough patches in the last few months. I'm also thankful for the fall feeling in the air, which leads me to reflect on the past year, make preperations for the year's end, and ponder what's in store for the new year.

[Sarah]

I'm excited about the Lotta fabrics... Your package looks lovely, but I'm already slacking on my own pay-it-forwards!

I'm thankful for gorgeous fabrics and you all! :o)

[Stefanie]

What a great pass it forward gift!!!

I am thankful to have the chance to be a mother. Cheesy but absolutely true. I get to experience childhood again through the eyes of my daughter, there isnt a better gift!

[michelle]

I'm thankful for family, love, laughter, pets, food and fabric. I am also new to the blog world and thankful for all the kind, smart, funny women out there who encourage and inspire.

[katie]

amazing post as always, lotta's designs are always so gorgeous! i'm thankful for a lot of things, of course, but most of all, for my parents who have raised me through thick and thin and for my boyfriend for helping me keep my head up and focus on my studies. after all, being a student sure isn't easy. there's so much to be thanking for, after all our lives are shaped by everything and everyone around us :)

[katie]

oh and i forgot to mention, those kit kats are delicious! my friend brought me a big bag of green tea kit kats from Japan once and i absolutely love them. too bad they don't offer such variety here in the US
