Felt update

[electricland]

So it turns out that Fabricland was the answer to the non-hideous felt question. It seems there's a Fabricland tucked away at the east end of the Hudson's Bay Centre, the end where nobody ever goes (well, I've never been there), down a level from the main concourse. It's huge! They have a lot of upholstery fabric, so I may be back.

Anyway, I got rust and tan and gold and green felt for partridges in pear trees and then, because another book had patterns for penguins, black and white and red felt as well. I have a lot of felt. And not just any black felt, oh no. It's glitter felt. Disco penguins! I also bought gold embroidery thread (and shiny red embroidery thread, because it was on two-for-one sale and hey, disco penguins) and clear seed beads and beading needles and some ribbon. It was a spree. I have felt for the ages now -- lucky it was 40% off.

Of course, none of this will work for either little felt Rygels or little felt Tardises, but one must start somewhere. Now I need basswood, gold acrylic paint, sequins, and glue.

That's the Rock and Roll Heaven Fabricland. That space was a rocker club in the 80s, where we used to go and dance to Faster PussyCat and Crue and Zodiac Mindwarp. It's just wrong that it's a fabricland now.

And - you've never been to that end of the maul? Weird.

Not that I can recall -- I used to spend a fair bit of time at Yonge & Bloor when I was in high school, but I was generally on my way to one of the movie theatres or Britnell's (I miss Britnell's). So I don't think I ever had much occasion to go east when I came out of the subway. Even the sign in the subway implies there isn't much in that direction!

There's not much, it's true. Just a crappy food court, a couple of gift stores, a flower shop and an LCBO branch. I'm familiar with it because there were RBC bank machines there at one point. And because of Rock and Roll Heaven.

sounds wonderful. and i'm thinking a separate shopping trip for the rygels and tardises is in order. ;)

ps. oh, the tardis doors could open up and there could be a picture of the doctor inside!
