Free Fabric Haul Weekend

Last week(end) was CRAZY! So much stuff happened at home and at work that I am completely wrecked on this Columbus Day. When that alarm went off this morning I was very hazy....I needed my Fizz drink badly today. Lets recap shall we.

Monday, my mom and grandparents made their way out to our apartment to deliver our new-to-us recliners. My parents have had these recliners (that don't look like ugly recliners) for years and we have been eying them. Well our prayers were answered and we are now the proud owners of two comfy leather recliners.....now I need to redecorate because our couch doesn't match. I see a new slipcover in our future. The hubs reluctantly vacates it to go to bed every night.

Think he needs new sneakers? Look at those worn soles!

On Wednesday we had our first rain storm of the season and I was so happy.....except that I had a photoshoot for work, and the lighting was awful. However we got back to the office and we had a female peacock just hanging out in our parking lot all afternoon. It was really fun.

Friday we took our old wing chairs over to my dear friends house and we had a fun evening of Cards Against Humanity.....I was winning at the beginning but ended up losing! Bummer.

Saturday was the day I had been waiting for. My mom, grandma, Aunt and I made our way out to Camarillo to our dear friends home to check out her haul of free fabric. She got well over $8K in upholstery, felt, fake fur and quilting fabric, all free! We thought that we could go through it all in about an hour, but after 4 hours we were just finishing up and exhausted.

I managed to find some throw pillow fabric, denim, possibly fabric to make a new duvet cover, and some things for baby crafts!!! I managed to make one of the gifts for an upcoming shower Saturday evening and didn't end up getting home until well after 1AM. We had such fun and everyone got some new swag to create with! I will give you a sneak peak of the craft, but your not going to be happy with it.....it's a serious teaser!

Above is my serious fabric haul. There is over 20 yards of fabric in that stack!!! Everything below the pink is going to turn into pillows, duvets and draperies......eventually.

Sewing it together......can you guess what it is?

Sunday, as you can imagine was a lazy day. I got donuts and we watched Man Woman Wild on Netflix all day, also we both passed out in the living room....completely missing lunch. I remembered that I needed to make some items for the hubbs pregnant boss so that will be my task for this evening. Whipping up some quick gifts for her and her son! I.AM.TIRED.

I hope you all had a great weekend!
