Coffee and creativity!



We were at our friendly local Harris Teeter, which has a Starbucks inside it, and this coffee caught my eye. It's from Ethiopia!!! I was like "Babe, this coffee ACTUALLY came from Ethiopia! And now it's in my hands, can you BELIEVE it?!?!" Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with emotion over stuff like this. I obviously begged him to let me buy it, he obviously denied seeing as we don't even have a coffee maker :) But as we were walking out I asked him (very dramatically) if he ever felt like he just HAD to have everything we see that's from Ethiopia, and he very sweetly replied "Nope, I just need one thing from Ethiopia." "Or two," I said. "Or two," he replied. "Or three," I whispered. :)

Below is my photographic documentation of the evolution of my crib skirt!!! I just couldn't find a single bedding set that I liked, and seeing as I have all the time in the WORLD, here it is:





The above picture has the most accurate depiction of the fabric colors.



The final product on our new dresser, since no crib yet :)

I love the fabric for your bedskirt! I made all the crib bedding for my first two kiddos & just feel like I SHOULD make everything for the next one! Although I may bring the boy stuff back out! :)

I understand the sudden pull towards all things Ethiopian... I recently drove my kids TWO HOURS to the nearest Ethiopian restaurant so we could eat there! And it was GREAT! :)

I did the same thing to my husband :) And we're about to venture the two hours to go try another one too!!! Yay for crazy adoption hormones!!!

Love that you posted about the coffee--that's our babes' birth region, and I'm now on the hunt for it!
