Fabric Lovers

   I met my pregnant friend Sara this morning to chose some fabrics for her baby's nursery. We soon learned that if two women, one pregnant and one domineering, go fabric shopping together...they are partners. Life partners. According to the staff at Joann's. We were fine with it. I accepted congratulations along with her. Why not? It's Saturday. That's fun day.

   I learned that I am decisive and opinionated. It was really fun to pick the patterns, knowing her colors so well. It was like choosing for my own kid! (essentially I guess it was, since we are partners now.)



   Sara has chosen an adorable semi-owl themed bedding set and wanted to mix it up in the rest of the room. Naturally, I was fully on board with assisting as I have "eclectic" written all over me. The above are the outtakes. I had a huge eye watering allery-esque attack and ran out to my car to find a Dunkin napkin to clean up with. I came back and she had ousted the owl theme. Too much brown. But hilarious that I walk away for 20 seconds and she finds resolution. Guess I did help! We had a laugh and she felt better with her original color scheme.



   Super cute, right? And the crib is gray so it's so little boyish and fun. As I've told Sara, I will not be DIYing any of my child's room. This was just too confusing. Too many choices! So now Sara has her lamp shade, seat and bed skirt fabric. We were mistaken for Joann employees, lovers and then just ladies who needed a lot of fabric. Nicely done, Sara, nicely done. I can't wait for it to be done to share it with you all (and take partial credit for chosing some of the fabrics...). 


Have a great weeked everyone!
