Saturday Six

Here are some photos of this very crazy Saturday:

I was up at 2 am to drive August to the airport. He's going on a road-trip across the country with his old college buddy who's moving from Washington State to Connecticut. The airport is 2.5 hours away from our house. A very groggy start to the day. This photo was taken as we were driving into the airport and I like the way the words look like they are flying away. I didn't get back to the house until 7:30 when I passed out until about 10:30.



I finally got my order in from www.reprodepot.com. I ordered one pound of fabric scraps. I had no idea what I would get, but I was not disappointed!!! My favorite is the red mushroom fabric. Too cute! It is a very good assortment of styles with each piece about 1/3 of a yard wide. I think the total yardage was bout 4 yards.




I went to a couple of vintage stores here in Tallahassee and found some treasures! It is hard sometimes to find vintage fabric scraps, so I find vintage clothing and then cut them up. There are so many "loud" shirts (the yellow flower's) and pants (believe it or not the peach fabric on the top right are mens pants!) that will probably not be worn all the time, so why not repurpose them? I'm excited to use this for fabric art and mini quilts. The glass owl is just too cute and I have filled it with yellow buttons.


I am extatic!!! My BamPop order arrived today and I squealed the whole way back to the house! I got all the papers from both of their lines as well as the Hello Robot and Journaling Bubble acrylic stamps. YEAH!! I've got some great photos of Audrey and Windom that will work great with these papers. I also ordered the little birdies too and they are on their way...

LOVE me some BamPop!!!


I watched Paris, Texas a movie directed by Wim Wenders. It was excellent! Basically it's about a man who is wandering the desert unsure of who he is. His brother finds him and brings him back to an understanding of who he is and where he belongs in the world. Very touching and amazing cinematography. I just hung up the art print and this scene of the movie fit really well with the print.


So, along with a great meal and a fantastic movie, I had enjoyed a few glasses of wine. Toward the end of the night, when the wine was doing its trick, I snapped this picture of sweet Cooper through the wine glass. Needless to say, I slept pretty good...



I do miss August already and really hope he has a fantastic trip with David.

So, there you have my Saturday Six.
