A Truckload Of Fabrics
Easton and I finally made our way to Needle Nook Fabrics this week to check out their new shipment - needless to say, I didn't come home empty handed (in fact I could have purchased more, but showed some restraint)!
I wound up purchasing 3 yards of a pink, brown and white stripe knit (enough for both Taylor and I some shirts), a gorgeous turquoise jersey (I'm envisioning making myself the sleeveless version of Jalie 2806 for this), a yellow and white stripe knit (I'm thinking of making a v-neck version of Jalie 2005), a brown with pink polka dots jersey for Taylor (I have no idea of what pattern to use, but I'll know it when I see it!), a multi-color yarn dye stripe, a wonderfully soft grey knit (it was to cozy not to buy), and lastly a fantastic red, black and white print. Bret has promised that if he goes fishing this week that he'll allow me some serious sewing time - it looks like I'll be sweatshopping it soon!
Lastly (because it has nothing to do with sewing), a photo of a my children napping.... it was too sweet not to share:
Now it's off to the softball fields - Taylor has a busy day of practice, games, and pictures! What are you up to this weekend?

You are so ambitious! Good for you!
We are dinner/dancing tonight at a gala. I have not yet decide what to wear! The event has a 50's theme but is dressy. So I will just cruise my closet. We didn't decide to attend in time to sew anything.
Weather is good so I will continue my big garden projects.

I was wondering how Taylor and Easton were getting along, and that picture answers my question. I have a little brother and my mom has several pictures of me sleeping under his cradle while he sleep in it.
As for the weekedend, we had a yard sale and are now going couch shopping. We didn't make that much money, but we sold our couch.
