Yes, I'm blogging during the Super Bowl

So sue me! Look if the buccaneers aren't playing I'm not really watching!! 




Kyle and I had such a great weekend! We celebrated Kyle's brother-in-laws's birthday. I can't figure out what eric and I are?? Is he my brother-in-law-in-law? I think so (if not I don't care because it's kind of fun to say and type) eric watson is my brother-in-law-in-law and sadly he will never see this post most likely, cause we are barely friends on Facebook and he has yet to accept my twitter request to follow him. anyways we celebrated his birthday this weekend in montgomery,al! The guys played golf saturday ( I have a sneaking suspicion that kyle lost and that's why he's not talking about it??) and the girls, me and courtney, went to the flea market but not before I ventured over to strickland's cloth barn in the thriving metropolis of eclectic, al. never heard of it? well stinks for you friend. first of all eclectic is the cutest little town on the lake ***disclaimer from kyle: eclectic is not all on the lake and "they aren't cute, i hate eclectic they were jerks in football**** well according to kyle a lot of people were jerks in high-school football(i'm talking to you tommy trot!!) but i think eclectic is cute and that's all that matters because i'm the blogger. I have been told about strickland's multiple times from friends and family, not so much told as warned. warned about the piles of fabric and the amount of digging you have to do. um helloooooo do you know me I love digging for great deals!! so needless to say i've been dying to go! it was wonderful, scary, teetering piles of fabric!!! and I came away with some great deals! 




This great outdoor fabric was $1.98 a yard so I got two and I'm thinking nice pillows for our porch especially during football season, war eagle!




This fabric ended up being $2.98 a yard. I thought it was more expensive than that and only got a yard only to get in my car see my receipt and kick my self in the head for not getting more! But I think I'm going to make a cushion for my new chair using this fabric. "what new chair??" I'm so glad you asked........


THIS NEW CHAIR

I purchased this lovely CRAZY AMAZING bentwood chair at the east brook flea market in montgomery with my lovely CRAZY AMAZING sister-in-law courtney watson!! and it was the deal of the century, get ready to pick your jaws up off the floor because it was...........$12.50 I couldn't believe it, I carried it around the rest of the time at the market because I was so scared that someone else would snatch it up!! I was ecstatic because I really wanted a lightweight chair in the sewing/craft/guest room. I've been using one of my favorite chairs that I found on the side of the road years ago (yea i know it's like a disease) But as much as I love that chair it is far from portable and I've got a couple tables that I move between so it takes like 5 minutes to move the chair. It's more of sitting chair anyways so it will live out it's true purpose in the corner of the guest/sewing/craft room! 


yea and then that night we celebrated eric's birthday, I forgot I was supposed to talk about him, but that's what he gets for always forgetting to say hi to me! but seriously he's a great brother-in-law-in-law I'd like to think we keep each other sane, being married to stokes' kids can make you crazy!!!!!


I love getting to go back home to kyle's parent's house. they live out in the country and they've got cows (I mean I grew up, down the street from cows, that's right jones valley farms, represent) but these cows are across the street from kyle's childhood home and let me just tell you my dog wishes he was a cow. yesterday the cows were out close to the street and very chatty, bo being the precious four month old puppy that he is didn't understand that they weren't talking to him. he was barking up a storm and when we crossed the street he just kept barking until we got close enough for him to realize how much bigger they were compared to him. the life of a little dog, I think he may have a napoleon complex!! but it was so cute and sweet to watch, he just sat there watching the cows watch him, my heart melted! I wish I had a picture!!!(insert sad face here)


*dresser update: I'm almost finished so i'll be posting pictures super soon.


peace&love
