I did a bit of fabric shopping. Thanks to a Fabric Mart coupon, I purchased the bronze goat skin leather that I had my eye on (plus a few extras):

I also picked up an yellow\orange polka dot cotton (it had a great Halloween vibe), a few notions (a pin case and bobbin box), and a knit bundle. I'm really happy with two of the pieces that I received (a black matte jersey and a plum jersey). However, I'm not sure what to do with the other black knit (it's kind of thick and has a cut out design throughout) and the white floral reminds me of something you might see made into pajamas (which is probably how they will end up). As for the leather, I plan on (finally) using my Metropolitan Homage Tote pattern with it (although their new envelope clutch really caught my eye).

I also made my way to Hancock Fabric's sale last week and picked up lots of necessities (I actually plan on using everything up soon and not just stashing):

The fleece on the left is going to be used to make an I Spy Bag. I stumbled across this toy recently and fell in love with them. I thought it might be fun to make my own and thankfully, the sell makes DIY kits (fabric not included). If all goes well, I'll be making a frog sometime in the future. The next three fabrics are part of Easton's Halloween costume, along with several of the notions. I also picked up lots of zippers (for box bags) - at $1.17-.81 each, I couldn't resist on 'stocking up'.

The final thing that arrived this week (and this has absolutely nothing to do with sewing) was my egg molds:

I first saw these posted on My Montessori Journey's website and was highly intrigued. Basically you hard boil eggs, peel them while hot, place them in the molds and cool in cold water for 10 minutes. We already tested them out - the eggs didn't last more than 5 minutes before they were all gone!
