Pure Randomness...

Good evening, morning, afternoon to everyone! And a BIG welcome to my new followers Kristie and Alexandra, thanks for following along with me in all of my goals and adventures. I am just so excited!

You will be getting allot of these random blog posts from me because I want to hurry and make it to 100 so that I can have my giveaway soon! I am not a very patient person(I am working on it), but in this case it is a good thing! I think that I might be more excited about a giveaway than you guys are, I love receiving fun unexpected gifts, but I think that I like giving them a little more! Hummmm, let's see this post makes #36 I think, so give me time ladies I am working on it, you may get a couple posts a day of just pure randomness!

My head is full of things that I could make or buy to make my giveaway special and worth all of your time. Like I said I have been window shopping on Etsy allot these past couple of days, so we will just see.

Today I had to get out of this house, so I packed up the kids and took a trip South to visit my mom, she lives in a very small town, that 50% of the population is Amish so there are hitching posts at the grocery store and restaurants and cute little Amish children all dressed in their hats and bonnets being driven in a horse covered wagon, it truly is like a step back in time. You hear the clip clop of the horses hooves and the bells that they have attached to their harness being lead by a man with a straw hat and suspenders holding up his handmade trousers. I love going to their produce store in the summer time, they have no electricity and the elderly man behind the counter rings you up with a cash register from the late 1800's, a Cha-Ching echoes through the store as he finalizes the sale of the homegrown veggies they are so proud of. It is such a surreal experience.

My mom let me get out alone for a few minutes while she watched the kids, so I went to the local quilt shop to look at their fabric selection, the shop is in an old church and it is just adorable. I picked up some fat quarters that she had for sale, all of the fabrics looked very vintage, so of course I was in love, 9 fat quarters for under $12.00, you can't beat that!

Here is a picture of my fabric finds...



The fabric on the top is what I got today, on the bottom is what I purchased from Etsy and got in the mail yesterday. Don't you just love it?

Well, I am using the upstairs computer and it is still really cold up here so I am going downstairs to warm up, the kids don't have school again tomorrow so they are playing some Wii, I think I will join in! Good night!
