Fabric Love #13 & Fabric Giveaway: For Mothers

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there.  I am a Mom to 2 great little boys - Asher (4) and Silas (2).  Today is one of those days where I am especially thankful for the little things (Mom's edition :P):

• the little unexpected hugs and "I Love You"
• raising kids - the ultimate from 'scratch' project ;)
• finding their little toys hidden in all the drawers and even the freezer - brings a smile to my face everytime
• their cute little toes, hands, smiles, burps, laughter, and even the whining is sometimes adorable too
• a test of my patience.  Since being a Mom I have learned (learning) to be more patient - don't let the little things get to me.
• treasure even the littlest of things
• seeing the world in their eyes
• a constant reminder of what life is really about

Happy Mothers Day :).

So on to this week's Fabric Love and Fabric Giveaway.  In the sentiment of Mother's day today I am featuring 2 great fabrics from Alexander Henry:

Tea House

This fabric always reminds me of feminine beauty.  I always imagine that these ladies - probably wonderful moms - meditating, exchanging stories and taking time away from their busy lives for themselves. 

La Strada

Chic, stylish, powerful woman :).  What every mom is!

Fabric Giveaway

In celebration of Mother's Day I am giving away 1 full yard of fabric - your choice of either the La Strada or Tea House or 1/2 yard of each.  Just be a follower and leave a quick comment of what you are thankful for on this Mother's day by Tuesday 9PM-PST. A random winner will be picked Tuesday night.

Thanks and have a great Mother's Day!

Playful and cute, this fabric would be awesome for any fun project:

This is available in both White and Blue backgrounds - how great is that??

And speaking fun - I love the playful retro feel of this one.  I haven't decided what I'll do with it yet, but I couldn't resist!

Last but not least...

Speechless...I don't like snails, but this is sooo cute!  I'm also a sucker for orange fabrics...
