Be still my beating heart!





For I have found CUPCAKE fabric! Now I do understand that to some this may not be all that big of a thrill (to some, not a thrill AT ALL!) but to me......well I was almost giddy with excitement! I think I may even have frightened the lady at the counter who cuts the fabric for you! MAWHAHAAAAAAAAAAA. Ha, she's yet to see me at a sale..........anywho, on with my finds of the day! So the cupcake fabric is going to be made into a table cloth for my small kitchen table, and also some cushion covers for the kitchen couch (where I love to sit and read/hand sew.....and hide from my family! Did I really just say that? lol ssshhhhhhh don't tell ok? It'll be our secret!). The pink flannelette fabric with the little doggies is going to be made into a new blanket and cushion cover for Paris Fifi's bed to keep her warm, since Winter is just around the corner for us. Precious Princess is going to make the things for Paris's bed. I found some cute little chook buttons (or chickens as you may call them) for some crafting ideas......then woo hoo..hold on....wait for it.....I found some bunny napkins, bunny balloons, and this darling little bunny plate! I was so excited when I spotted these! (I know, I know, I need to get a life. Sad isn't it? Still that didn't stop me from almost doing cartwheels down the aisle to get to them! heheheheeeeeeee). Then (as if my day wasn't fabulous enough!) I picked up my favourite magazines on the way home! Sigh.....what a wonderful day! Hope your day was terrific for you too my sweeties! Love Amanda (aka CUPCAKE Contessa) heheheheh.....xxx
