Sometimes I just sit and stare at colour and texture and contrast. I can't explain it. It makes me happy...
This indie fabric is making my very happy - giddy, in fact. I know I say that a lot, but just check out some of these prints by Laurie Wisbrun over at Scarlet Fig.
I tracked her down (hm, that sounds quite sinister...) after seeing her prints in the Spoonflower Flickr Group, 'Spoonflower Fabric Designs'.
I think I actually *gasped* when I saw this one::
And this one might be coming to live with me::
In fact, they are all so gorgeous in such clever retro designs and beautifully modern colours that my biggest headache this week might be just how much to order...
She's a clever girl, no? People like this inspire me and crush me at the same time. On the one hand I am psyched and want to log onto spoonflower myself and start making things just as amazing. And at the same time I feel like I am already beaten by genius whilst all I can do is stand and watch.
But lucky for me, I can never get tired of looking at fabric, nor the legal high it gives me. And this little lot? I'd say it should be making me smile for a while yet...

Aah the hypnotic effect of fabric - what can I say, can relate to that TOTALLY...
That yellow armchair fabric is so warm and inviting, and as for the aqua chesterfields, yum yum
What's the green leaf one called?

Salam!
Oops yup forgot to mention that one. Another current fave of mine.
It's called Pressed Leaves from the Wildwood fabric collection by Erin McMorris for Free Spirit. And you can find it here:
