i {heart} Ottobre

The newest Ottobre arrived in my mailbox this afternoon!! I love Ottobre, it is the one subscription I have that I will never, ever, let slide. The patterns inside are very unique and rich with details like top stitching, pockets and different closures - they make you want to challenge yourself and try a new technique. And the pictures alone provide a ton of eye candy to keep you inspired. I find the customer service impressive as well, they have responded immediately to my inquiries and quickly replaced a missing issue for me.
Also in my mailbox today was a Hancock's of Paducah catalog. This hefty fabric catalog is full of the newest lines and traditional basics. So now I think I'll go to make myself a cup of hot chocolate (chocolate and raspberry cheese cake flavored, yum!), curl up on the couch, and read my mail!
