So much time, so much to do!

Free time leaves me with my mind in a spin; there's so much to do, so many projects to start, so many abandoned projects to finish, or just enjoy the free time with leisure and reading (which unfortunately makes me feel guilty for not actually doing something...) Since I have had so much of free time lately, I have been doing all of the above and much more...

What's really great is that Charlotte, NC is getting pretty big, which means some excellent stores are flying south. For instance, IKEA!!! Occupying a rainy day last weekend, my mum and I tackled the new IKEA located off I-85 near UNCC. It's so overwhelming, you fall in love with

 everything and then walk away with close to nothing, because you couldn't actually make up your mind on anything. I made an exception...I indulged in my guilty pleasure (no, not in the piping-hot, steamy, moist, cinnamon-y, pleasantly overwhelming aromatic, cinnamon buns tempting us as we waited for the torrential downpour to cease), but I indulged in FABRIC!!! IKEA has some really great fabric and I went a bit crazy because they're "cheap as chips, mate" and are splashed with incredible colors and graphic designs!

I made one purse with some of the fabric I purchased and I need to use my free time to make some more. They are for sale! Check out my portfolio link at coroflot.com (www.coroflot.com/avecamourdesigns). I have pictures posted and they are on facebook, as well.
