When my husband asked me what I wanted for Mothers Day the first thing that popped into my mind was FABRIC! I live in a smallish city, and besides a few expensive quilting stores with a very limited selection, the only fabric store is a (very small) Fabricland. Now while I have found some fun fabric there it tends to be pricey, and I never seem to find exactly what I went there for. Ideally I would drive 3 hours to my old hometown and visit my favourite hole in the wall store (Skyline Fabrics in northeast Calgary) but with 2 kids, dogs, and veggie planting season I can't see that happening. So I begged my husband to buy me fabric online as my Mothers Day gift. No shopping for him, I get exactly what I want, it all works out!
Well today I came home from taking my boy to preschool to find my parcel waiting!! Yay! I of course grabbed my camera to document my first online fabric experience!
I ordered from Fabric Depot in the states.
And here are the beauties!
Clearly some of these will be used for kids stuff. But I really want to make a cute summer top out of the black with rainbow stars cotton.
Here's one more look!
So pretty! I love fabric! I was like a kid in a candy store opening the package!
And you know what? My sweet husband still surprised me with another gift on Mothers Day! I had been out of town that weekend for my sister's bridal shower, and my awesome husband went out and braved the mall with the kids to find me this beautiful locket!
Isn't it pretty? That's a real shamrock in there! Perfect to put pictures of my two March babies in! I love it!
I love the locket!
