Better than flowers.

I have been complaining that my husband never brings me flowers. I mean, would it kill him to grab a bunch at the gas station as he fills up his tank? I mean, he is right there, they are right there, I love flowers..... this isn't rocket science. Yesterday, again, was a flower free day.

But he did buy me 35 meters of muslin. One full bolt. With a "happy dress making" sentiment attached. I think that is way better than flowers. I am pretty giddy with happiness right now.

And while I have your attention, for the dress for my daughter I am going with Patricia Bravo's Fizzy Bubbles in apricot.

The reason? I forgot I had ordered some (no wonder it looked familiar when I was considering it as an option) and it arrived this morning. My daughter saw me open the package and raved how pretty it was. How can I not choose the sure thing?!?!?

Sigh. Red polka dots would have been so cute, too. I am sure by the time I place my order tonight, I will just break down and have to buy some extra dandelion fabric and use the dots combo for something else.
