Giddy

This morning during playgroup I went to M&L fabric in the Anaheim/Cypress area, and came home skipping like a schoolgirl! I have to share my excitement with you all because my poor husband, while definitely encouraging and supportive, will probably never skip with me about fabric. M&L is amazing... seriously huge selection, and it's a warehouse, so the prices are phenomenal!

I chose this dark teal corduroy to make my diaper bag, and the striped one next to it for the lining. I like a bright lining so you can actually FIND things, but it's nice to have some variegation to minimize stains and spots. I thought of posting the design I'm going to use, but I will wait until you can see the finished product. It's got just enough frill so it's not too industrial looking, but still works for a boy.



I chose these 3 flannels to dress up my burp cloths. Had to get new ones because my old ones have all become cleaning rags. =) Here's the awesomest thing about buying these... they were displayed for almost 8 bucks a yard at the front, but I dug around in their $2.97 section and found the SAME PRINTS! Had to be careful not to do the fabric jig in the store. The off-white/tan behind there is terry cloth for my changing pad, since I only have one changing pad cover and it's actually a little too small for the pad I've got. Again, choices were $8.00/a yard and found this for under $3!
And now for some home decor. Remember this fabric I was coveting awhile back? It was something like $12 on-line. Then I couldn't find it on-line. Then I found it today for less than $4 a yard!! This will become a fabric board to replace this sort of camouflaged wreath above the fireplace.

This isn't new fabric, but I got it at the same place awhile ago for $2 a yard. I finally got around to re-covering my pillows to incorporate the brown of Steve's leather chair into the room. The quilt over the back there was my sister's contribution. It's really gorgeous and totally original! I should lay it out so you can see the whole thing.
And lastly, one more pillow to round out my love of the blue and brown in my living room.

Okay, thanks for letting me vent all that... I was pretty beside myself. =)
