Nursery Fabric!

Jarred and I have officially picked out fabric for the nursery! YAY!!!!!

Yesterday, Jarred surprised me by taking me to the nearest Hobby Lobby (almost 30 miles away!) and said that we should get that fabric I happened to like so much.  He had yet to see it; I had seen it in the HL down where his parents live, but I didn't want to buy it until he had the chance to see it too.

We trekked straight back to the fabric department and I zeroed in on "THE COLLECTION" that I felt was most appropriate for our nursery.  Jarred saw it, Jarred said he liked it, Jarred started asking questions. Well, the questions he was asking were hard to answer! He asked things like, "how much is the fabric", "how much do you need", "you do know how much you need, right?", etc.  While I didn't know exact amounts of material needed, I needed a couple of minutes to calculate out what I thought I needed. (With the HL being nearly 30 miles away on little bitty two-lane roads, I didn't want to miscalculate and have to drive back over for some oversight on my part!)

Jarred roamed the HL and found the model airplane aisle. Good, he was occupied while I took the time to add up what all I'd need. After about 5 minutes, I came up with my figures and shared them with Jarred. All I can say is that it was a very good thing the fabric was 30% off, otherwise, I'm positive we wouldn't have purchased it! I told him I would need 5 yards of each fabric. We get to the cutting table and Jarred throws into the mix, "make it 6, we don't want to be short". LOL, he's too much! I just adore him!

So, now that I have the fabric home and laundered, I have to iron it out so I can start working on my projects! YAY!  I don't have any photos of the fabric just yet, but I will post some once I have everything ironed and some good lighting!
