New Purchases

Always love getting new materials!!

Here's some yarn I picked up to make more thank you market bags for my doula, midwife, and nurses who attended my labor:

doncha wish you could touch it!

Even more exciting - I went to Joann's to pick up some fabric with my husband. I got my husband to go to a fabric store with me!?!? WHAT!

Well it was actually for him anyway... I recently picked up an amazing floor mat for the kitchen sink area. (Memory foam! Padding for the feet while you wash the dishes - it feels divine.) Unfortunately, the fabric on top of the mat is disgusting - pills, doesn't feel good against bare skin, and is a dog-hair magnet. So Reed insisted politely asked that I make a cover "or something" for it, to which I snapped politely requested that he help pick out a fabric for said project. So to Joann's we went!

Since we were on a time limit (trying to run errands while the newborn sleeps is a fun game) I wasn't able to wander around the store much, but luckily we were able to find what we needed and an extra fun item in the remnants shelf:

It's a little hard to see the striping on the broadcloth but I promise it's pretty and matches our kitchen. The pink was a total score - because that is the exact material our current, store-bought changing pad cover is made from!!

Carters. Dig it. 

Ours is also green. BUT now that we know new baby is a girl...PINK IS ON THE TABLE!

I am also incredibly excited that I got these yard-long pieces of fabric for about $5 each. Remnants! Discounts!! Gotta love 'em.
