Fabulous Flickr Fabric Finds

Before I get to the fabric post, did anyone see the shocking American Idol results show last night? I was floored when Micheal Johns was voted off. Not only that, but Ryan was downright "unforgiving" in the way that he announced it. Not a great way to end the Idol Gives Back week imho. :o(

Ok, on to the fabric!! So I thought it would be fun today to highlight some really cool Flickr groups, including fabric manufacturers and fabric designers. Amazing things you crafty gals make with my fave fabrics! ;o)

Sugar & Spice are turning 2 this weekend(Two already? Wow!!) and while we're going to wait and have an "official" princess party when Memaw & Papaw come to visit in 2 weeks, we'll probably do something, like go to the zoo, since the weather is beautiful!! Hope everyone has a lovely wekend as well. :O)

Fabulous Finds Continued...

Ahhh! The twins have gone to sleep, my ds is playing in Webkinz World and I finally have a quiet moment to continue my blogging. :o)
So today I opened the mailbox to find a plethora of packages. Sweet, my ETSY goodies have arrived! When I started opening everything up I realized I needed to take some quick pics to show the wonderful packaging and "extras" that were sent. It's been raining all day and the lighting is terrible in my house so you'll have to excuse the poor quality but at least you can see my "booty" :o)


The package from LaneDesigns, that has the envelope and zippered pouch wrapped in yellow ribbon, was such a surprise! There were extra free gifts including matching Michael Miller Carnival Bloom fabric keychain and card holder! Amazing! Is she psychic? I was seriously debating getting both of these items. I was tickled pink to say the least and the handwritten note on pretty stationary was a sweet touch as well. I'm even keeping the lovely ribbons she tied everything with. Here's a pic of what she sent!


In the twine-wrapped tissue paper was this lovely French country style apron repurposed from tea towels from FreemanHouse. Looks great on and also hanging in my kitchen! She included a nice handwritten note too. She also makes herbal wraps that I'm coveting at the moment.



The adorable fabric/felt flower pins are from AndreaBaker. Sooo cute! I got these to pin on my girls clothing, hats, bowbands, etc but I may use them on my purses, hats & scarves as well. teehee. :o) I'm hoping she'll make more of these. She also makes totes, id cards and aprons.



As you can see I also received my fantabulous new car litter bag from AllysonHill! Love it! Can't wait to use it. She also included free a sweet fabric button(how did she know about my new fabric fetish?) and a little notepad with a vintage art nouveau-style picture plus her website URL. Smart girl! I love her biz card too. I think it's my favorite that I've seen from any seller. :o)

Lastly I recieved another headband made with Amy Butler fabric. This one was a quick purchase/ship from eBay so that I can wear it for the 4th of July bash at the lake this weekend. Please don't rain! *doing a little anti-rain dance*

There's one more goody on the way from an ETSY seller, a pocket mirror, and a number of customs purchased/won from eBay which I'm really excited to blog about but I see that it is quite late once again and I really do need some sleep! So more fabulous finds tomorrow I promise. Stay tuned....
