Waiting for Mary, day 3

No magazine today, sniff.  I did manage to keep myself distracted though by finishing and listing these fun little pretties in my etsy boutique store.  I'm trying to undo my fabric hoarding tendencies and these twirly skirts were an easy and fun way to use up some of my fun stash.  The bottom two are made from some Tracy Porter fabrics which I just adore (and it's just a quick run down to JoAnn with my coupon to get them!).

But my day really got kicking when the doorbell rang and that sweet little UPS guy showed up again.  I looked out and there were 2 boxes with "Michael Miller Fabric" on them!  Woohooty!  I was not expecting them at all so I screamed and yelled "Thank You SO MUCH!!" to that delighted man in brown (I think he's starting to like me, why else would he bring me fabric?).

I tore the boxes open and laid my eyes on some of the prettiest fabric I've seen.  It's the Ginger Blossom line designed by Sandi Henderson and it's really really gorgeous.  I have to say Michael Miller does a great job because the colors are so crisp and clear and it's such soft fabric.  Really nice.  I was privileged to get a sneak peek of this line last year around this time and it's such a blast to have the finished product here now.  I was sure I wouldn't be able to get any for my Fabritopia on etsy shop (the website's still in the works but etsy's nice for now)  since I was late in ordering so I'm beyond thrilled.

And I got 3 the flannel prints too!  I have a friend who's expecting a boy any day now and these two will make wonderful burp rags.  Lots of great colors!

So I'm a day closer to my magazine showing up and in keeping with my Mary theme, here's a picture of some lovely little flowers my sweet 7 year old son brought me (he even arranged them!).  Our back yard is full of them.  Perfect.

My 4 year old loves to bring me flowers from outside! It is a daily occurance and today I got a break from the pleantiful yellow ones that arn't tecnically flowers but look like them!!

I love Sandi's line. I might have to pick up some flannel. It looks so soft.

I think I'm really starting to hate you. Adorable skirts - I'm fighting the urge to buy the blue and brown one, it's too small for Bella and too big for Matea but I still feel like I "need" it - and fabulous new fabrics I really want right now. I'm going to consider this an exercise in will power...at least until I see how I do at my trunk show on Friday.

Oh how I wish I could wear those pretties! They're great! I'm also a fan of Tracy Porter fabric...wonderful prints and great prices! I have some waiting to be stitched up into tops and skirts for me! Yippee!

Jona, Stop by my house tomorrow (today I guess, it's 12:30am). I have a copy of the magazine for you. THE MAGAZINE. And I haven't even read it. We can read it together. Forget the mailman & come see me.

Love your blog, but may have to quit stopping by so often because you tempt me with all of your beautiful fabrics and great examples of how to use them! I ordered some ME from your etsy shop and can't wait for it to arrive--now I'm seriously thinking about those lovely colors in this post!

I got my Sandi fabric a couple weeks ago and the quilts and kits I made were out of my etsy store in less than 24 hours. I got more yesterday. It is beautiful isn't it.

Those skirts are so adorable. I showed them to my daughter and we both love them. If I had a granddaughter I'd be getting one! Someday.
