Meeting The Chicken Lady aka Cindy

Well, it's been almost a week - but I got to meet Cindy from The Chicken Coop. My and my girls met her and her chicks at M&L Fabric in Anaheim. Now, I didn't take pictures of this place, but maybe Cindy did. It was really fabulous! Lots and lots of fabric for 2.98. There was more fabric for $1.69 - but it was flat fold and in huge stacks. We couldn't figure out how you would get that fabric out to buy it!

Cindy said that The Fabric Depot was much bigger - and I was very jealous that I wasn't going up there with her and meeting Monica and Angela, and whoever else is going to meet there. My girls and I managed to get some fabric, but not tons. It's definitely a place that I'll be returning to!

Cindy is just the sweetest person around. It was so great talking to her. And my girls liked her chicks. The told me later that they had a great time. They were worried that Cindy's chicks might have known a lot more about fabric than them - but that wasn't the case.

We ate lunch at Coco's - in the shadow of Disneyland. We found out that each of us were going to Disneyland the next day - and were hoping to see each other, but, sadly, we didn't. We did however, have a GREAT time at Disneyland.

Here's a great picture of all of us!


Aren't we all just so happy! They are just the best!

We're now in Santa Rosa visiting my mother. It's been a nice trip so far. Next we're off to Sacramento to visit my girlfriend.

Jeepers, I'm blushing! :) It was so great to meet you and your little chickees too! We all had a wonderful time and my kids were a little worried at first too, but quickly warmed up. It's hard meeting strangers, especially when your strange mom arranges it! tee hee We'll be back in a couple of years! :) Hope you are having/had a wonderful visit with your family.

I'm not able to do the FD trip with Cindy... so we'll have to plan another one for when you come up, k!

Meeting blog friends is so cool! I just met Monica two days ago and had such a good time.

I kind of wish I had been in Santa Rosa when you went so I could say hello in person.

I'm so jealous! As it turns out I couldn't go either to meet Cindy, so I didn't get to meet anybody! I didn't meet Cindy, Monica or YOU! Snif! This move! ARGH! Oh well, it'll be a good thing. Truly. If it would just freakin' be OVER! ~A :-)

Sounds like a great time.

Hey I also wanted to say that I totally thought of you while I was making my most recent bag. I has to be really picky about placing the design just right & I just kept thinking of the term you used a while ago... "Fussy Cutting" described it perfectly!!
