what's normal anyway?

Is it normal that I want everything on 

this page?

My heart starts racing when I see stuff like this:

And could this fabric be any more perfect for me?

(thanks to the dear reader who recently linked me to this fabric!)

(Deep breaths, Sara ..... deep breaths. in ... out....)

*whew*

I'm not sure what the illness is called (polka dot fever? dot-itis? polka pox? ha!) but I'm most certain there is no cure. The only thing I've found that helps is to just embrace it and consume. 

The other night, I gathered up all my polka dot fabrics just to see how many I had. I counted almost 50. That's just from my stash, people!

time stamp on this photo is 1:18 a.m. which confirms that i am indeed sick.

So, um .... I did what any normal person would do.

And I started cutting squares. Six inch squares for my next quilt.

I only stayed up til 2 a.m. that night. *yawn*

I finished cutting them all last night!

i am certifiably crazy, right?
i'm excited to start piecing them together!

(and i get to hang out w/ these girls today this week!)
see the cute button on my sidebar too. 

p.s. i have to share this funny little story.

Ruby's new thing is to play "salon"  ... it's really just a way i've tricked her into brushing my hair cuz i love it.

so yesterday we were playing "salon" and I asked her what her name was. She said "Anna Marie." (that's the name of the girl at the mall who cuts our hair)

I said, "so anna marie ... do you have any kids?"

and anna marie said "um. ... yeah i have, like, seven or six ... or five."

I said, "oh you don't know how many kids you have?"

and she answered, "well yeah, i have eight."

then i said, "oh ok ... so what's your husband's name?"

she said, "well he died. he just got old and died."

oh my!

and:

vote in the sidebar poll if you haven't already. i was just curious! plus it's interesting to see how many are reading (but not commenting). you stinkers!!
