My weekly tutorial, Forever Sand Castles, can be found by clicking the link.
Let's meet this week's sponsor and newest advertiser, Barbara, from The Cat's Paw. (Do you want to advertise?) Barbara's shop is a sewing heaven, full of gorgeous fabrics by-the-yard, vintage buttons, fabric scrap baskets, and much more!
Just look at a sample of some of my favorite fabrics from Amy Butler, Joel Dewberry, Tina Givens, and more! I lean toward the funky side (in case you didn't already know) and there were lots of great patterns and bright colors.

But don't fret, there are many solids and neutrals for you low-key girls, too. The best part? Nothing is priced over $6.25/yard, and the more you buy the cheaper it can get!
Have trouble coordinating? Barbara holds your hand by offering these pre-coordinated bundles that let you get right down to being creative!

Barbara is always on the search for vintage buttons, she loves exploring the history of them, and says, "I always wonder what they could say if they could tell us where they have been." Check out these Vintage Cranberry and Tan Celluloid Buttons!

And, since sewing is her first love, Barbara keeps herself busy creating and using every piece of her beautiful fabrics by creating these Fabric Scrap Baskets. I could see this one called Aqua Beach Glass, on my coffee table filled with shells this summer.

The Cat's Paw has generously offered a $30 gift certificate to one lucky winner this week! That is plenty for 4 yards of fabric, 3 fabric baskets, or a whole bunch of vintage buttons! Woot!
