Belated Happy New Year! Did you have a fabulous Christmas and was your new Year a little tipsy? Did Santa reward you for being a Fabulous Woman in 2011, and are you upholding your 2012 Resolution to be Even More Fabulous?
Do you know what isn’t fabulous? Blog silence is not fabulous. You could be forgiven for thinking that I am the worst blogger in the known (and unknown) universe, but it’s been ridiculously ridiculous at Miss Alison Regrets HQ, and I have been physically unable to put finger to keyboard and thrill you all with my exploits. Do you want to know why I’ve been so distracted?
1. Spotlight had a monster fabric sale. Monster. They seem to be chanelling their inner Libertys of London, and have rolls and rolls of the most delicious cottons, in the most mouth watering colours. And I’ve yet to meet a 1940s floral I didn’t want to gobble up on the spot. Look.
Can’t you just taste it’s Strawberry and creaminess? You can see why I went a little mental. Although Spolight are big fat enablers because they have shoping trolleys instore so when your arms get tired from carrying all those bolts of fabric, you can put them in the trolley, and therefore purchase more. Much more.
So I may have bought all these.
And perhaps these.

And there’s the slight possibility these also made it home.
But look at all this loveliness. Can you blame me?
No, a girl with a credit card simply cannot be blamed for all this fabric. It was Spotlight’s fault for having the sale in the first place, not to mention the aforementioned instore trolleys. And some of those fabrics were a couple of shekles a metre, so I was duty bound to buy them. I can’t bear the thought of fabric thinking it’s unloved, can you? I also offer up Mr Wonder, who after my first exhausting fabric haul, took me to another Spotlight, where I did it all over again.
So you see, I’ve been slaving away washing, ironing and folding all these piles of lovely fabric. Not to mention contemplating what to do with them.
But that’s another story.
