Tried something new, but it wasn't exactly successful, lol

Sorry about the yellowish background on this picture - both were taken at the same time in the basement, but ... ???!!!!

Speaking of peony bushes - here's mine - it's late blooming this year due to the dastardly winter we had :D Another week or two and we'll have beautiful flowers, I'm sure :)

Sneak Peek :)
Here's a little project I started tonight - I pinned the original project a few weeks ago and decided tonight to give it a whirl :D The denim is upcycled from a pair of our youngest son's worn out work jeans, and the eyes are each 2 pieces - a button with an "evil eye bead" (no affiliation - that's the Etsy store I bought them from) layered on - ever so cute, if I do say so myself! I have to see if I can find these eye beads in a larger size - these ones are 8mm (about 1/3") which is pretty tiny. I think 1/2" ones (12mm-ish) would be extra fun!
I'll try to get the project finished tomorrow after my doctor's appointment :)

And here are the beanbags in their nice gift bags - I had a lot of fun making these sets - I think these make really nice toddler/pre-schooler gifts!

A friend's win became MY win ... and I'm 12 :)
I got another beanbag set finished - this one will be a Christmas gift. I just need to finish the drawstring bag to hold it - will get that done later. In the interim, I went back to being 12, and played again with the online anagram generator :D If you're surprised by one of the words I left in - you should see the one I LEFT OUT!!!!
A bloggy friend of mine (hi, Vera!) recently won a giveaway from crazy mom quilts. It turned out that the giveaway was only available for US/Canadian residents, so Vera generously donated her gift to me! Such a sweet lady :D I got it in the mail yesterday - its as lovely in person, as it is on the blog!
The colours are very rich - it's a gorgeous collection. I'm going to look for some rich floral prints to use these with - I think a quilt is definitely in order with these :)

I have cool neighbours :)
My doorbell just rang - when I answered it, there stood my neighbour with a (still warm!) plate of DELICIOUSITY!
Note to self, and to others: if you have a neighbour that loves to bake and cook, that's a GOOD neighbour to be friends with ;) NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!

Chocolate chip banana muffins, and mint chocolate chip cookies - baked by my lovely neighbour Maria :D |

Anagram time :)
Playing with the beanbags ...
I had fun playing with the online anagram generator, lol. I'm easily entertained :D Here's the completed set - a new project for me :)
Here's a cute little Corvette basket I made to finish up the last of that fabric. It measures about 8.5" x 4" x 4" :)
I bought some "fancy" carabiners from Ebay - these were about a buck each, IIRC - they're the perfect finishing touch :) This is going to Blue Hills :)
