Ducks, Owls & Clowns?

So I decided to go to Old Time Pottery today after church because I was looking for some sort of mirror and/or medicine cabinet for our newly remodeled downstairs bathroom. As it usually happens, I became easily distracted after walking through the entrance and I ultimately walked out with something very different than what I initially began searching for. This trip my eye zoomed in on some fabric scraps. Oh good! Fabric scraps! Maybe I could fashion some curtains or pillows or something. While scanning the long tables of fabric yardage, I found something so absurdly exciting to me, that I snatched it up right away so nobody else would steal my new found hidden treasure.

What is it, you wonder?

None other than Duck Decoy Fabric



I know, I know, a little weird, but I thought whatever I decided to make with it would make for a good conversation piece...a little fun, a little whimsy...you know.

I immediately called Chris and told him the exciting news and sent him a photo so he could tell me "congratulations" on finding the perfect fabric for our owl themed guest bedroom....maybe we could make it a bird themed room instead!



...sadly, he wasn't excited.

The reason?

Duck are considered to be the "clowns of the bird world".

Really?

I object.

After I came to my senses I put the fabric down and walked away.

Hopefully I won't regret my decision.
