Fabric choices

So, I like to think that most of the time I'm pretty good at choosing fabric for my projects.
Receiving something like this in the mail just makes my day.

I take so long fussing over my choices at the fabric store that it drives my family crazy. Sometimes, though, things just go wrong.
Remember this picture from Christmas?

Yeah.. Flannel was on sale at JoAnn's so I thought it would be a great idea to get cute coordinated fishies for the guys and kitties for the girls. Only I forgot that fishies are sorta cutesie and Joseph would be wearing a man-sized pair of fish pajama pants in bright cotton candy blue. He still wears them occasionally because he loves me but they might disappear one day.

And see this lovely row of stockings we have?

I like most of them, but take a look at this stocking that I made for myself 5 years ago.

I have no idea what I was thinking when I chose that patriotic fabric for the cuff. Yeesh.

And Miss Emily is well on her way to making awesome fabric choices just like I do, with her couch dress and Mystery Mobile dress.

And... sorry, there's no real point to this post, other than getting this annoyance off my chest and out in public.
The family's good. I'm going to bed now.
