If anyone else wants a design, give me a theme. I do best with more tribal effects, but give me ideas. These are fun !

Still figuring out yours, Bookwyrm :)

This is a project I am working on

I just heard on Fox41 that Baer's is having a auction at 10am Saturday and 1pm Sunday and auctioning everything off to the highest bidder...fabric and all.

The guy they were talking to said they found stuff in there they didn't know they even had...like a couple of old barber chairs.

I thought I would pass it on.

Financial problems have led to everything inside a landmark fabric store being auctioned off. Crews are getting the Baer Fabrics store ready for an auction this weekend.

All of the inventory, furnishings, and equipment will be auctioned on Saturday and Sunday. There are fabrics, hats, tools, and even three vehicles. Everything will be sold to the highest bidder.

Bill Collins Jr. of Collins Auction Company, says, "We've run across old barber shop sign, man, everything -- never seen so much upholstry."

Baer Fabrics, which had been in business in Louisville for more than a century, closed in July after having some financial problems.

The store had three floors of fabrics and four floors of warehouse in 85,000 square feet. The auction is 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m.

I've been doing this at work, training myself to do chainmail. I was planning to make a jingly belt. Do you think I should keep the v section? I plan to add coins, bells or/and jinglies.
What do you think?
