The Sewing Mom

Flowers, they are beautiful and I could never get tired of looking at them.   I’ve always wished I was a better gardener so that I might have a beautiful flower garden in my own yard.

There are times when we want to send flowers to someone else, birthdays, anniversaries and funerals to name a few.  Why oh why do they have to be so expensive?  To send a decent, but not huge, flower arrangement to my uncle’s funeral, the cost is $90!  My sister even called a local florist so we didn’t have to pay wire fees.  It’s absoluetly crazy.

Truth is, maybe we’d all buy a lot more flowers for inside our homes if they just weren’t so expensive.

I keep thinking about Valentine’s Day, a holiday I normally let slip by.  I’m thinking about it so much probably because of the fabrics I’m sewing together right now, a lot of pinks and reds and even some heart prints. You can actually see some of the fabrics in the picture at the top of the Home page, also in one of the bags I have for sale in my auction box.

Something tells me that the holiday hasn’t even entered my husband’s mind. That’s okay, I certainly don’t need chocolates, I am attempting to shed a few pounds after all. He has a tendency to send me more organic gifts for Valentines such as flowers. I absolutely love flowers, my favorites are tulips (notice my blog theme). When I send flowers to someone, I always have such a hard time choosing, there’s such a huge selection. I always try to find out what the person’s favorite flower is and send that, it makes it more personal. So, honey, if you’re reading this, I really love TULIPS!

Now that’s got me thinking about the beautiful tulip fabric I have in my stash cupboard. I need to make a bag or two out of that, it is way too pretty to be sitting there, hidden.
