My Egg, now 12, my husband and I went to NYC for a long weekend to visit my older two children (aka Phoebe and Ging), who now live, work and play there.

I wandered again into the garment district. A bit overwhelming-- rooms and rooms, floors and floors, and blots and bolts of fabric, AND trims and threads and sewing tools to the ceiling everywhere. I loved it and it made me want to flee. Next time I go, I'll have some specific idea of what I want.

Anyone else making this trip, Mood Fabrics is a must see.

Now we are home just in time for the next snow storm and some cozy sewing.

In the end, I left with a very small loot (DMC floss), but I really didn't need anything anyway.
