Five Baht Elephant

my crafty home

January 24, 2012

Craptastic! (that’d be the word of the week)

January 24, 2012

What’s your therapy?  Me? I typically chose any of the following: red wine, vodka martinis, running…  I like to think I handle stress well, but this past week has really shown me that I don’t.  *sigh*  it’ll pass; I just need to relax, prioritize and manage my time better.  And not take work issues so personally.  Oh, and exercise.  Sheesh.  I always always always feel better after running.  (The lazy-ies got me. And the cold. But mostly the lazy-ies.) Must. Run. Tomorrow.

Anyway! On to other things….

Know what makes me happy?  Pretty fabric.  All stacked and bundled up.  Like this:

Kate Spain Terrain Fabric Stack

Aren’t they great? I just got them in the mail (from Sew Fresh Fabrics) and stared at them for quite some time.  Just stared and stared, thinking about what to do with them and whether I had enough to make a pretty quilt.  After poking around on the internet for inspiration, I just decided to cut 3″ strips and group them into threes.  Or maybe into fives.  They’re just stacked up right now. 

Quilt to be. I think.

See how pretty?  I’ll sew the strips together, cut them up.  And then see. 

And I’m already in a better mood.  Yay!

    Oh, that fabric would make me smile too! I hope you have a better week and give yourself time for a run. Running is a great therapy, isn’t it!?

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
