The bedroom is ready for Mimi's surprise party

We were planning a surprise party for my moms 60th birthday at our house so I was really in a crunch to get things done! Nothing like having a party at your house to light a fire under your rear and get it done! A few months ago I had bought all the fabric to make the bedding, curtains and shams for my room, I had just failed to take it somewhere to have it all made. So, two weeks before moms party mom and I took it to Berkley Fabrics and asked them to make it all. They told me they could have it all made in two weeks! HOLY COW... that would be just in time for moms party. I was SO EXCITED!

So we set the date for them to come deliver and hang the curtains Friday morning at 9:00 the day before the party. I know, it was cutting it close... you don't even know how close! Wednesday night at 5:00 I get a phone call from Berkley saying that the fabric I bought for the back of the duvet had two big spots on it! WHAT? I had bought the fabric from them in the remnants pile. They then asked if I had back up fabric... REALLY, who buys back up fabric? I told them I did not and so she asked if I could come up there and look to see if I could find another fabric to use. I said sure and asked what time they close, her response... 6:00. Not only was it 5:00 but Justin was working late and I had to get Luke to his soccer game at 6:00 and Jonah to soccer practice at 6:00. Really, I had NO clue how that was going to happen. My mom said that she could take Luke to his game and I could take Jonah. Perfect! So now it is about 5:15 and Justin calls and says he got out of work and is on his way and can take one of the boys. Whew

I call my mom and tell her that Justin is coming home and instead of her taking Luke to the game if she can run to the fabric store to approve another fabric. Thank goodness she could. She got there and said she found one that looked great and went ahead and told them to use it. Mom asked them if they were still able to deliver on Friday morning at 9:00 and they assured her that they would.

So of course they are there right at 9:00 Friday morning to deliver. They get done and I was so happy with the turn out. I wanted to call mom so bad and tell her how great it looked. Well, I could not do that! I knew if I did then she would want to come over after work and see it. I could not let her come because we had stuff all over the house getting ready for her surprise party. Well, she called and... I lied and said that since they had the problem with the fabric it would be Monday before they could bring it. I think she bought it :)
