I still have photos to go through from the beach and the zoo but there are so many of them I’m procrastinating. And for some of you this may be more interesting.

I don’t know about your Joann Fabrics, but the one near me has a sale until Saturday for Simplicity patterns. They’re only $0.99!! A limit of 10. I should have gotten more…

Isabelle usually gets antsy while we’re in a fabric store so it was meant to be a quick trip. I knew exactly what I wanted. I planned ahead. I looked through the patterns online and jotted them all down so we could just dash in and out. But then Isabelle saw the aisle full of crayons, paints, and books.

I grabbed her a couple of books and she happily occupied herself, flipping through them. She was surprisingly well behaved. Usually the fabric store bores Isabelle to tears, even with the distraction of books and crayons. Well not this time! I was actually able to leisurely go looking through the fabric aisles. Sadly nothing really called out to me. I got a few yards of seersucker, some yarn and black felt to finish Isabelle’s Maggie doll and that’s about it.

Then we came home. I avoided going through all the older pictures and instead took new pictures of my new patterns just so I could tell everyone who reads this, there is a sale. Isabelle thought she was a more interesting subject to photograph and got in the way.

I would have to agree.
