I entered a gift swap recently and have been thinking on and off about what I would like to make or buy for my little giftee man (an adorable 3 year old) and his mom. I think the chances anyone is reading this blog are pretty small, let alone the cool lady I'm gifting, so I probably won't be giving anything away when I say that I have decided to make bean bags! Our awesome neighbor made some for my son for his birthday and they are the cutest little things and so fun to play with (what? I can play with bean bags, too!).
Now I need to pick some fabric, which is the funnest part of pretty much any sewing project, besides beholding the finished product. I love me some fabric!
As for what's blooming in the garden these days, we have lovely two-toned lupine spikes growing by the day and the dianthus continues to produce the cutest little fuchsia flowers. I think the astilbes at the back of the house will produce flowers even after I offended them by breaking them in pieces and moving them about. On the sad side, we appear to have only two peony buds. The past couple years we have had more like ten across the two or three plants. They are on the second-least sunniest side of the house, so I don't expect much, but we'll have to wait a year for another chance. For now, I will enjoy the flowers we have!
