Oh my gosh my head immediately began SWIMMING with projects. I had to draw myself back from la-la land to read this incredibly sweet letter from Jess at The Planner and the Procrastinator and her Etsy store Chirpy Designs.
(I just about DIED when I saw this one and have the cutest idea for it! Stay tuned, I know you mommies with love it)
I was floored. When Jess originally contacted me and asked me to choose some fabric from her shop I checked out her blog and after seeing what she did knew she had stellar taste and it would be more fun if she picked (I also felt this gave her an easy out if things came up, you know how life is, and she wasn't able to send it. I NEVER want ANYONE to feel obligated to send ANYTHING). I never imagined how much fun it would be to receive a bunch of surprise fabric in the mail and the creative ideas it would induce! It also could NOT have come at a better time. We start going to orphanages on Monday with the Mercy and I wanted to make some modest girl dresses for the little girls at the Muslim Orphanage and was in dire need of some fun fabric so these girls didn't get solid plain 'ole dresses. Thanks Jess for giving me a much needed boost! Tomorrow I am excited to show you how to make your very own personalized fabric birthday banner. Your going to love it!
Cheers!

What a fun surprise to bring your spirits back up! 13 stitches?!?!? That must have been a horrible owie! I hope she's feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your crazy week! *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteCannot wait to see what you do with the fabulous fabric! = )
So glad you got your package in one piece! I jammed it in there and taped it up really well but my hubby said "that is never going to make it!" I told him to have faith in our postal service! I'm so happy that it made you SO happy and helped lighten your spirits after a horrendous week!
ReplyDeleteLove and Hugs,
Jess
Wow. Jess is AWESOME! You are one lucky woman. And so are those who you are making those adorable dresses for that I saw in another post.
ReplyDeleteI just found Jess' blog a day or so ago and love it. She's got such great ideas and just today I found an awesome recipe there too.
And your tutorials are super cute too. Thank you to both of you.
