Sleep Shopping...

So, what if I told you that I'm not allowed to shop
in the middle of the night anymore?

Would you wonder why I was ever allowed to do this in the first place? The truth is, I had never actually done it before. You see, I have a new baby and frequent the wee hours of the night to feed her. I also happen to be the lucky wife of a husband that won an iPad at work. Now, you may wonder how these two things go together, or you may see the obvious- I use this little 'toy' all the time. I look at yummy fabrics and keep up with my ever growing blogroll and twitter friends. Seems pretty harmless right?

Well, last weekend I caught wind of a 50% off sale on some fabric. I had looked at it before, but wasn't over-the-top, have-to-have-it-now about it. Which usually means I will wait for something better. I mean, we're on a budget here! But for some reason, that sale, in the middle of the night, with credit card handy, was the perfect storm. And I caved.

Funny thing is, come morning, I had no recollection
WHAT FABRIC I had actually purchased. Seriously, I was panicking! I remembered buying something, but I couldn't remember what. What's more, I somehow deleted the email with the details so I really couldn't remember. GENIUS!

So this morning this arrived on my doorstep:

{a pretty little package from the Fat Quarter Shop}


{with half yards of these six delicious fabrics!}


{pink bubbles}


{delectable chocolate cupcakes}


{and a pretty pink recipe print!}


{all in favor of me doing ALL my shopping by moonlight?}

  1. I think you deleted the email on purpose to cover your tracks. :) At least you ordered cute fabric, instead of some random piece of exercise equipment from a middle-of-the-night infomercial! Can't wait to see what you make out of this stuff.

Crystal commented on our blog and I clicked on her profile hoping to find hers... (still didn't)... but I found you!!! Come on over to my blog and let me know if you have a blog of your cute little fam- I'd love to see your little one!!! Hope all's well for you!

  6. Haha! I love this post! I got some package from Fat Quarter Shop the other day, that I had completely forgotten about. Late night weakness + credit card info in PayPal = more fabric I have to hide from my husband!

  7. Cute blog! I am starting my first quilt (from my kids' old clothes). This could be disastrous. :/ Anyway, I started following you on Twitter and am just now checking out your blog. I am impressed. Keep it up! In other words, don't let the little one slow you down. I had to end mine altogether, but I can't blame it all on my kids, if I'm being nice. ;o) (I'm kidding. My problem is I have too many hobbies!)
