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 Apron Finds Friday

Yes I know, posting late in the day seems to be becoming a trend. *sigh*

Anyhoo, today is all about aprons! :o) Have you noticed how much aprons have come back in style? It's not just for us "vintage apron fanatics" anymore. It's become soooo "tres chic"! I've always liked aprons myself. I have some vintage ones including one that is made out of a flour sack and hangs in my pantry. Hmmm, guess I should have taken a pic? :oP

So without further ado, here are some of my favourite new apron designers.

Heavenly Hostess has so many wonderful apron designs from halter to cocktail to gardening, you just have to check them out! Here is one of my faves which happens to be a gardening apron, however I don't have a garden and I'd buy it anyway. :o)



Sommer Designs doesn't have as many choices but what she does have is simple, classic and fresh. I find it hard to choose a favorite since most of her aprons are made from my favourite designer fabrics!



Another apron designer I love is Megan of Creative Outlet Designs! I've been coveting her cherry polkadot apron for some time now. Drool!




And last but not least is Carolyn's Kitchen. Carolyn West(as seen in Adorn) offers vintage-inspired aprons and matching glove sets. How fun is that! Don't miss the giveaway to win this fun Dorothy apron & glove set over at The Apronista!



Other places to find hip handmade aprons are ETSY & eBay. Have fun and have a fantastic weekend! :o)

Fabulous PINK Finds Friday

I know it's a little late for Fabulous Finds today but hey, better late than never right?

Christmas is right around the corner and I wanted to highlight all of the girly-girl toys out there now. I sooo love the color pink and to see a classic toy turned pink just tickles me....well PINK! :o)

Toys R Us has what they call the PINKtacular Collection. You can only get these at Toys R Us...or maybe eBay. *wink*

For babies there's the classic Fisher-Price Corn Popper. What baby or toddler doesn't love this toy? It's always laying around the floor of just about any toy store you visit. Now you can get a pink one for your little girly-girl.



Fisher-Price Little People are another one of those universally-loved toys and now the classic school bus and airplane are, you guessed it, pink!



Anyone else have one of those Lil' Snoopy dogs or Chatter Phones when you were a toddler? Here they are made just for our girly-girls. And you can't beat the prices too!



How about pink for the preschoolers? I loved Lite-Brite when I was a kid. Of course mine wasn't pink. ;o)



Boys aren't the only ones who like to pretend to mow the lawn. Here's an adorable pink bubble mower for your girly tomboy.



Here's some fun games for the older girls. How about a new "twist" on an old classic. *snicker*



Check out the Pink Boutique Edition of Monopoly. I don't think the guys will want to play this one. Isn't it all about the shopping? *wink*



So have fun this Christmas and get your PINK on! :o)
