There I was, perusing the shelves of a local chain fabric store with my soon to be 4 year old in tow ... when I hear the following words ...
Miss almost 4: "Sofia! Sofia! Look Mummy, it's Princess Sofia!"
To my utter horror, she had found a whole bolt (because no-one else wants the stuff) of Princess. Sofia. PURPLE. fabric ... fabrics Gods have mercy on me!
Far out ... the kid had found her fabric utopia ...
Miss almost 4: "Can we get a Fat Quarter Mum?"
If it wasn't for that fact that I was so proud that she remembered what a Fat Quarter was, I would have had the faculties to say "No, not this time"
... but by now other customers were staring at me, no doubt suitably impressed by her quilting vocabulary, that I said "yes, sweetheart, of course we can" .... (palm to head).
{Audible groan} what to make with this stinking stuff?!
Well Miss 4 knew exactly what she wanted, and when I figure how to make the purple thing I'll let you know!
Sx
The purple thing is coming along nicely. Isn't being a mommy fun?
ReplyDeleteThat story has me laugh a lot!! You will have one very happy girl on your hands.
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed that she knew what a fat quarter was - you really couldn't not buy it after that!! You are going to be the best mummy in the whole world :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the purple thing is coming along pretty well. I hope it finishes quickly and you have a very happy little miss. :)
ReplyDeleteGuessing what it is... She deserves it just for know what a FQ is!!!
ReplyDeletePreschoolers do tend to be decisive. Best of luck with your purple thing.
ReplyDeleteOh, we haven't seen Sofia for a while, lol. You'll do well with this hell. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI really should not laugh so hard at your suffering. Really. I should not.
ReplyDeleteThats so funny, FQ buy a whole yard! I would say go with a pillow case and call it a day :) Good luck.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who Princess Sofia is and no, I don't want to know ;o)
ReplyDeleteAwww.......what a beautiful story. Your four year old is a star! Not only does she know a fat quarter, but she knows what she wants and she knows you can make it!! What an amazing little girl! What an amazing momma!
ReplyDeleteBTW, i like Patch the Giraffe's idea of a pillow case. If you decide to go back and get some more Sophia fabric for a pillow case, let her know it is because of Patch and Grandma Weez!
