Remember Avian Flu? Why are they not making us worry about it anymore? I bought cans of Spam and rolls of duct tape for our family emergency supply kit and nothing happened. In case you are interested, a triage list has been established for who gets a ventilator in a pandemic. Lovely.
In case you are not lucky enough to get on the triage list, you can go in style like this gentleman, in his Pabst Blue Ribbon coffin. I swear, most of us in Illinois are normal.
All the talk of elections, gas prices and triage sent me on a spending binge for fabric, because I am a sewing maniac; Heather Ross rabbits & race cars and this owl print; which is probably going to be my new favorite fabric.

Love that picture! You could frame it.
What fun fabrics. Whatcha sewin'???

Wow. A beer can coffin. That is an interesting departure. And yeah, sure, Illinois people are normal. Mmmmhmmm... :)
Great fabrics. I could spend my mortage every month at Repodepot fabric. Dang that pesky mortgage!

oh, that fabric is amazing. i don't allow myself to even look at reprodepot lately - the temptation is too strong.
i had totally forgotten about that avian flu mumbo-jumbo. it's kinda funny how we move so quickly from one scare to the next. remember the whole anthrax thing?

I'd have a heck of a lot more respect for the man had he fashioned the big can out of actual old beer cans!
Y2K anyone?
