Yet again I am caught blogging into the wee hours of the night! I do have a confession to make...I broke my no sewing after 10 pm rule. The thing is the project turned out GREAT! I made a bag from Lotta Jansdotter's book "Simple Sewing" and used leftover linen fabric I have had for awhile. The best part is the giraffe patch on the front!!!! I used one of my test strips from the linoleum block that I carved. It is TOO cute and only took about 1.5 hours. I think I need one, too. I decided to make this bag for Ammon's teacher as an end of the year present. Tomorrow we are going to go shopping to fill it with stuff that Ammon picks out. That should be interesting!
Anyway I MUST post pictures soon and jazz up this blog-o-mine. I am truly sorry for repeatedly saying that I am going to do this but isn't the white space and san serif font just ever so lovely and clean and simple? I could go on and on and on about white space. And typography. Sigh. I enjoy the white space, but I am wanting some images. Back on topic...I took some photos today to post here. I am so excited; they are of the peonies that are just beginning to bloom. I got one great one with ants crawling all over it. I am hoping to take some more shots tomorrow with even more ants on the flowers. I am hoping that they will be more open. Sweet. I can't wait to cut a bunch of those flowers and make my table look like photos from a magazine. I will remember to rinse off the ants outside, though. Ants usually do not appear in magazine images about interior decorating. Did you know that peonies need ants in order to bloom?
In conclusion, I think that my Thankful Thursday (started by 82% serious) will be for ants. Without the ants, there would be no peony blooms. Or ant farms. Or ant eaters. And that, friends, would be a bummer.
