Sleep Shopping...

NOTE: I figure some of you don't look at my sweetbabyhiccups blog, so I thought I'd re-post this here too!
__________________________________________
So, what if I told you that I'm not allowed to shop
in the middle of the night anymore?

Would you wonder why I was ever allowed to do this in the first place? The truth is, I had never actually done it before. You see, I have a new baby and frequent the wee hours of the night to feed her. I also happen to be the lucky wife of a husband that won an iPad at work. Now, you may wonder how these two things go together, or you may see the obvious- I use this little 'toy' all the time. I look at yummy fabrics and keep up with my ever growing blogroll and twitter friends. Seems pretty harmless right?

Well, last weekend I caught wind of a 50% off sale on some fabric. I had looked at it before, but wasn't over-the-top, have-to-have-it-now about it. Which usually means I will wait for something better. I mean, we're on a budget here! But for some reason, that sale, in the middle of the night, with credit card handy, was the
perfect storm
. And I caved.

Funny thing is, come morning, I had no recollection
WHAT FABRIC I had actually purchased. Seriously, I was panicking! I remembered buying something, but I couldn't remember what. What's more, I somehow deleted the email with the details so I really couldn't remember. GENIUS!

So this morning this arrived on my doorstep:

{a pretty little package from the Fat Quarter Shop}


{with half yards of these six delicious fabrics!}


{pink bubbles}


{delectable chocolate cupcakes}


{and a pretty pink recipe print!}


{all in favor of me doing ALL my shopping by moonlight?}
