Fabric galore!

Well, the hubs is out of town this weekend. So that means I am eating chocolate and spending money. Isn't that what everyone does when they are home alone? While he is back in MO battling the snow, I have lots of sewing and crafting plans.

First off, I am going to make these adorable rose balls, from Craftily Ever After. Her printables are so fun too! Loving this new V-day one.

Next up, I am going to turn this pile of lovely into lots of pretty things. I went to 2 fabric stores today, it was bliss. I am not sure if I was more thrilled by all the different prints, colors and textures, or by the fact that I didn't have to cook dinner tonight. Ahhh, livin' the single life again! Be sure to come back later this weekend to see what this pile turns into.

Objects of Desire

A great little shop, Objects of Desire, in Nob Hill is closing it's doors. My mother-in-law and I have been visiting them often as they continue to discount their inventory. Yesterday, I scored this adorable Christmas sign for only $15 (75% off.) I am sad to put it away until next year, but will be surprised when I pull out the Christmas tubs next fall, I am sure!

I fell in love with these lighted branches before Christmas, and they ended up under the tree for me. What a lovely surprise! I picked the vase up at Hob Lob this week. I like that the electrical cord for the lights can poke out of the bottom of the woven vase. I don't think they look too Christmasy, so I am leaving them out for all seasons. It is always nice to have something new after the holidays to brighten up your decor. Everything always looks so blah after all the red and green is put away. What have you purchased in this new year to brighten up your home?
