27. New fabrics and foam are on the way!

Today is payday! Woohoo!

I made a few purchases today that I’ve been putting off; I’m so excited for the packages to get here so I can finish the projects they belong to!

I ordered two pieces of foam from The Foam Factory. I’ve priced out a bunch of different online retailers, as well as Joann Fabric, and this company was by far the cheapest…even compared to using a coupon at Joann Fabric! The best part is you can order exactly the size foam you need for a project, which means I won’t have to cut it down myself. I’ve done that once before…and it is painstakingly awful. No thanks! They also provide free shipping on order over $75. [On a side note…why is foam so expensive???]

The first piece of foam, 2″x48″x63″, is for the headboard on the upholstered bed we’ve been working on. It’s finally going to get finished! The second piece of foam, 4″x24″x48″, will get used for the custom ottoman I’m making. You know there will be a tutorial in the near future!

I also made a purchase from fabric.com. I seriously love browsing through all the beautiful options, and I swear I haven’t found prices any better! I’ve bought from them many times and I’m never disappointed. Here are the beauties I picked out this time!
