weekend recap: hobby lobby and a sassy apron


First up, my dream come true. When I told my sister-in-law that I was planning a day trip to Hobby Lobby, since there isn't one nearby, she offered to meet me. And shopping with a friend is way more fun. Or expensive, whatev. Either way, we've been looking forward to this date for a while. And the best part? 50% of Fall decor :)

I think it's safe to say that I depleted my mad money for the month. You just stay tuned for all the goodness that will come of it :)

In other news, I decided this week that I wanted to sew some aprons.

I love fabric. And I especially love extra colorful, flowery, bright, girl fabrics. But there are only so many things a married gal [without a baby girl] can do with that variety. But an apron? There's nothing better than a sassy apron, in my opinion. So I went a little crazy in the clearance section and got several prints to work with. And when football took over the living room this afternoon, I sewed my very first one...

Do you love it?

I think the ruffle is so sweet. The next one will be all ruffled up and extra sassy. Oh yes.

Christmas gifts, coming right up!

  4. So cute! Would you be mad if I told you that I have a Hobby Lobby 2 minutes from my house and almost never go?! I love the apron and I hear you on the fun, girly, sassy fabrics. Sometimes it stinks living in a house of all boys.
