What a simple, fun party that would be. Her favourite games involved bean bags, so today we made some. After some quick <a title=\"Chez Beeper Bebe\" href=\"http:\/\/chezbeeperbebe.blogspot.com\/2010\/11\/make-this-spelling-bean-bags.html\" target=\"_blank\">web<\/a> surfing for ideas, we packed a 2 kg bag of lentils and some scraps of fabric and headed to the kids&#8217; Grandma&#8217;s house where we cut out these out and decorated them. The pink ones feature handmade lace from some old family pillowcases. The little ribbon tags were a cute addition I saw <a title=\"Bean Bag Tutorial\" href=\"http:\/\/sewlikemymom.com\/bean-bag-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. [Interestingly, I just read on to discover that this girl was <a title=\"Sew like my mom \" href=\"http:\/\/sewlikemymom.com\/to-loop-or-not-to-loop\/\" target=\"_blank\">not allowed to sell bean bags with looped ribbon on etsy <\/a>because someone patented it! Good thing I wasn&#8217;t planning to sell them &#8211; I&#8217;m too messy of a sewer anyway.]\n<p>Who knew beanbags would be such a hit?
