Beautiful fabric

I love fabrics! Always have done. Will always sneak in to a charity shop to have a quick look for old pretty fabrics. There's just something about patterns, and texture and warmth and the possibilities. 
When I'm home in Sweden I make sure I pop by the little factory outlet where Frösö Handtryck make their beautiful handprinted fabrics. It's only a 5 minute drive from my parents. I pick up fabric remnants, off cuts. 
So, a few weeks ago I picked up some fabric bits, and one of the new ones, that I absolutely love, is this wonderful cat pattern designed by Karin Mannerstål, also famous from Swedish television. 
The fabric is called Pappas Katt, 'Daddys Cat'. 
I've got some tiny pieces of it in blue, pink and grey. I think I'll make some purses and bows. 
I'll keep you posted. And SOON I'll get my etsy shop sorted! yay!
