{a date to the fabric store}

February 11, 2010 · 1 Comment
Filed Under: for fun


Two nights ago I realized I just couldn’t do it all, nor could I get it all done on my own. And I hated admitting that, but what I didn’t hate at alllll was Zack’s immediate response to help me out. Not that that surprised me… It was just so reassuring and helpful.

You see, I just can’t get enough sewing in. It’s never, ever enough. Two nights ago I realized we were out of groceries. And, I didn’t have any time to get them because I needed to sew, hah! Nor did I want to send Zack to get them {nor did Zack want to go}. We agreed I’d order groceries that night online and have them delivered to our apartment the following evening.

{Yes, living in the city is fantastic. But it also means really, really, really organized trips out.}

{And while I love to be organized, it just takes a lot of time.}

{This is the last sentence in brackets.}

As soon as Zack walked in the door from work we kissed and I took off. It’s funny — it was like a date to the fabric store ;)

Zack stuck around to greet the grocery delivery man and put the groceries away. Shortly afterward I was back home, but that hour I was gone was. pure. bliss.

It’s been awhile since I haven’t felt rushed at the fabric store…

Yeah, I forgot a few things yesterday, but Zack read them to me over the phone and so nothing was forgotten. While there, I picked out THE CUTEST shades of pink, red and orange. Some yellow — this amazing shade of yellow with a tiny hint of green! All for my ruffles.

And… this might just be the best part: I found some GREAT fabrics for laptop bags. Take a look:

Ummm, are you drooling yet?! I love them so much I told the gal to cut me a few extra yards. MUAH! I know they are a little winter-y but with a Gussy ruffle in pink or red they’ll be hot!!! I can see them now… :)

Yep, hott.

Once I was back home I sat down to sew, something I haven’t done for an entire week. Me and my radio player, hanging out with lots of fabric, ruffles and my sewing machine.

A perfectly successful evening.

What did you do yesterday that made your day perfect?
