Fabric Shopping Adventure

Today was our big adventure to the Fabric store!!! The fall/winter designs are done but I needed fabric for them! Why was it a big adventure?? Well because Me and My 2 yr. old (who Hates shopping, But hates babysitters even more!) well there is one babysitter that he likes BUT she is one of my best friends and I invited her and her 5mo. old to go with us as she is a 'crafter too!!) So we were, Rachel, 5mo old Easton, Me, 2yr. old Mitchell, AND 8 mo. old Hadassah!!! ANYTHING could happen with that age group!!
After delivering my 2 older daughters to school, we stopped at the grocery store for some special snacks (bribes) to add to the stash in Mitchell's Survivor backpack!!
Yes!! we used all 8 'Fruit Strips' :)



This nap on the drive (1hr) to the fabric shop is what saved the WHOLE day!



BLISS!!! Finally those fall designs, are taking on some color!!!! I found THE PERFECT fabric!!!





We rewarded ourselves with Chipotle for lunch.. Yes, when you are from the boonies eating at Chipotle is a BIG TREAT!! Our table had more entertaining value than a three ring circus has!!, yes it was a crazy lunch!! Hadassah was wanting 'real' food instead of her baby food!!!



Hadassah!! bright eyed and awake on our ride home!!!
Thank you Rachel for keeping me 'sane' today!!!!!

                                                Staci and her Owl n lolipop tree fleece that she chose. When Daddy calls home from work and says he'll be an hour late my heart sinks.  But then I realize that Dinner is ready and waiting, The house is cleaned up for Daddy's arrival, and the kids are busy playing. This means Quality crafting time!!  And I have A pile of fleece just waiting for me to dive into!! Here's how to make your own fleece bed sheet: Wash and dry your fleece on normal cycle to pre shrink it. You will need: (For a single bed) 2.5yds of 55in wide fabric (I used Blizzard Fleece) Jo-Anns Fabric 2 yds of 1/4 inch elastic matching thread The tricky part about full and queen sheets is that no one wants a seam right down the middle of their bed.. so we will put the seams at the side of the mattress using a full piece with no seam over the TOP of the mattress. For a full Bed: 4 yds fleece. 2 2/3yds of 1/4 inch
