Hair Thingies

Well, I have one more craft I think is safe to show. I made some velcro hair "barrettes" for a friends baby. The mom loves to put these crazy, stretchy bows on her head because she is lacking a lot of hair. I told her these might work. Since I am seeing her soon, I whipped some up for her. I think they are super cute. You only need a little hair and instead of clipping them in, you put the hair between velcro. I am sure by now somebody has invented and named these, but for now they are "barrette hair thingies" LOL.

A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Crafty Cold Weekend

So, I have been doing good on my vow to make more crafts. Some of them I cannot post yet, because they may or may not be a gift for one of the very few people who actually look at my "blog" from time to time! But, for now, I can show this beautiful topiary. I have never made any type of topiary before. I saw a pic of one like this and decided to give it a try. I learned a few things along the way. 1- It took way more candy hearts than I thought it would. 2- if you are going to use plastic pots, make sure you put something in the bottom to weigh it down (hence the reson I had to shorten the dowel). 3- never use a utility knife TOWARDS you! I knew #3, but did it anyway. Now I have a huge slice in my thumb, but I will not post that pic!

1-11-11 Craft!

Well, today is 1-11-11!! I hope everyone had a wonderful #1 day!

I was crafting again today. I could not find cards for my cousins, who are new Aunties!! I decided to make my own. I think they turned out pretty well. I used a few cut-outs from a "garland" decoration. They look like they are for twins, but really, it was just easy to do them similar! Enjoy!

Jewelry gifts

This year for Christmas I made a bunch of gifts. Most of them were cookies a few were other things. I am late getting a few things to a friends little girls. I was not ready before Christmas when she stopped over for a visit. I made them jewelry and they turned out pretty cute! One of the girls, the youngest, does not have pierced ears, so she will get a bracelet and a stretchy ring. The other two will get a bracelet and earrings. I just love making jewelry. I will put another post of the necklace I made while babysitting the same little girls this jewelry is for! I hope you enjoy them!
