My little household has been hit by some nasty bug that's been going around. Luckily, it is starting to look like we are on the upside of it all.
The day before Easter Sunday we had just finished dinner and were getting ready to dye eggs when the phone rang. It was my father-in-law saying he was at the airport and where were we?! Um. Apparently my husband's side of the family forgot to tell us that he was coming. I frantically started picking up the house and had the kiddos dye eggs while my husband went to pick his Dad up.
Amongst visitors and tending to an ill husband and kiddos, I did take a day to run to a fabric shop in town that I had never been to before. They had quite a few prints that I have only been able to find online. Here's what I bought.

| From top to bottom: Simply Color by V and Co. for Moda, Noteworthy by Sweetwater, and Spot On by Robert Kaufman |
Also, a little online fabric shopping. I bought a few pieces from Hawthorne Threads and Pink Castle Fabrics. Some of this fabric was bought for a specific purpose (as noted in the photos below - Pretty Princess Sew Along hosted by Cut to Pieces.) Some was just because.

| Alice in Wonderland dress: Polka Dot Stitches by Lori Holt in Clean White and Tiny Gingham in Blue by Michael Miller |
 |
| Rapunzel dress: from left to right - all from Michael Miller Clown Stripe, Cotton Couture in Purple, Cotton Couture in Crocus and Cotton Couture in Blossom |
 |
| Penguins in Blue by Nancy Wolfe for Kokka Japan and Headliner in Black from In The Doghouse |
I first saw that penguin print on Don't Call Me Betsy and had to have it! Luckily there was a 1/2 yard left in stock so I snagged it!
It seemed like a long time had gone by since I purchased any fabric, as everything I have been making lately, I've been trying to utilize what I already had in my stash! It's nice to see some new prints mixed in with my current.
Tomorrow is the preschool's annual field trip out here to the ranch; then it's a weekend spent with my sewing machine!
