Last year I came across a fab­ric on Etsy that I fell in love with. I did not pur­chase it at the time as the fin­ances did not allow for it. It’s a beau­ti­ful Japan­ese cot­ton print, and this past week I finally searched for it again; this time with the intent of actu­ally get­ting some of it. Thank­fully, some was still avail­able and today it arrived and was there wait­ing for me upon my return from work this afternoon.

For those of you that know me, you know that there are a few anim­als which I hold par­tic­u­larly dear that play par­tic­u­larly spe­cial roles in my life. Amongst them are turtles and tor­toises (which both look par­tic­u­larly awe­some while eat­ing things). Under­stand­ing this, it makes sense that I would have to have a piece of the cutest turtle fab­ric on Etsy (and argu­ably anywhere).

I’ve already got some plans for this won­der­ful fab­ric. I will be start­ing with a pil­low­case and then prob­ably go on to make some accessor­ies. I may, depend­ing on the amount of fab­ric left over after I make my pil­low­case, even make some small items to share with oth­ers in addi­tion to those I make to enjoy myself. I most likely will not begin work­ing with my turtle fab­ric until I return from Three Rivers in June, but once I do I will post any inter­est­ing pro­gress notes and fin­ished items here on the site.
