Somebody stop me (again)...

Has anybody else seen Stargate SG-1 Children of the Gods?  Boy, do I feel ripped off.  I bought it thinking that it was going to be something new and interesting in the Stargate world, although I must admit that I am enjoying Season Three of Stargate Atlantis... and we sat through it last night and the night before, in two chunks because I was so exhausted I fell asleep in the middle of it at the first go... and I spent the entire time waiting for something else to happen, that I hadn't seen before.


So, apart from the editing out of the gratuitous nudity scene (showing the lovely Vaitiare Bandera in all her glory), so they could get a PG rating, and chucking in a bit of extra scenery of Chulak, there was absolutely nothing I hadn't seen before.   I feel really ripped off.  


So, to assuage my disappointment, I popped into one of my favourite fabric stores today & bought the following:


One half metre of japanese black & orange cotton
One half metre of orange & pink shot silk
One half metre of black silk with sequins
One half metre of thickish orange & yellow striped cotton


And what am I going to do with it, I hear you ask?  Well, I know exactly what I'm going to do with the black & orange stuff - I'm going to make a clutch bag to take to the wedding of MWH's niece in September - using the orange silk as the lining... but the rest of it... well, we'll see.


I'll post some photos in the next couple of days... honest.... but for now, some general cheeriness:




Is too much fabric ever enough?
