Lookie What I Got in the Mail

 

I thought I would drop in real quick tonight in between my party preppin' (for G’s 6th on Friday!) and show you what kind of mail I will gladly open. I don’t know about you but it’s always a good day here when I find a box like this one on my front porch!

 

Especially when it’s full of fun prints like this! Now I’ve just got to figure out the perfect home for these beauties! I’m thinking it’s probably not going to be too awfully hard, but that’s just me.

 

Has anyone else checked out fabric.com or ordered fabric anywhere else online? I was a little nervous to order fabric without actually seeing or feeling it, you know … what if it looked completely awful when it showed up? Well, I was pleasantly surprised and will for sure be going that route again!

Now that it’s midnight, I’m off too work on an awesome snake cake and wrap a few presents for my not so little guy!

Busy Weekend Happenings and a Fab Fabric Find

 

We had a fun and busy weekend full of celebrating and graduating. My oldest turned eight and requested a football party (the fact that he picked a sports theme over a character shows me just how BIG he is getting).

 

If you know me, then you know that I go a little crazy for my kids birthdays, especially with their cakes. There have been many a birthday eve’s that I have stayed up until 3 am or later perfecting their cakes. Luckily this one was one of the easier cakes that I have tackled so that wasn’t necessary!

Sometimes less is more, no?

 

 

Then last night my second little guy graduated from preschool! He did a great job in the program and it’s always fun to see how they have grown throughout the year!

Now onto my fab fabric find! I’ve been on the hunt for some fabulous fabric to recover some chair cushions with that will go with this table. (You know, the one I found for a steal?)

 

I wanted something fun that would add a pop of color to the chairs, but didn’t want anything too out there or crazy. I will be putting the table and chairs up for sale when they are all wrapped up, so I wanted the color to be one that would go with many different styles. I also wanted the fabric to be durable and as easy to clean as possible.

 

This is what I found and I

FELL. IN. LOVE.

Love the pattern.

Love the color.

Love the fact that it’s outdoor fabric, therefore a little more durable.

Love that it’s fun but not crazy.

Love that it was 40% off.

Love everything about it!

 

I can’t wait to see it all put together. It’s going to be crazy cute!
