How life flies!

I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since my last post. I promise to get the tut for the hanger bow/headband keeper done this weekend and posted Monday.
Hosting a basic sewing class at my house tonight. I so excited! I have started work on a website and signed up for classes at our local college. I should be nice and busy for the next year and a half ;).
It is sunny here today so I'm going enjoy the sun a little today while I get ready for tonight.
Enjoy your day!

Easy Bow and Headband keeper

Ok... my girls are forever losing their hair-pretties (as we call them) in the jungle of a closet. We have tried the whole basket thing and they just seem to get smushed flat. So I decided this morning to make something easy and with things I already had at the house.
So I took....

  • a child size plastic hanger
  • 2 pieces of ribbon any length
  • a lighter to melt the ribbon ends
  • a hot glue gun
  • and 2 book rings
and this is what I came up with easy tutorial coming Monday!

Wow

What a long week it has been.....

Henry was sick on Monday, Sophi, Tuesday thru today. She will finally go back to school tomorrow, pizza day. Grandparents day was yesterday and all 4 grandparents were able to attend this year. Today was the balloon launch at school, very cool. Our annual dinner auction on Saturday, Paris in Spring, Oooh Lalaaa!

I just went pattern crazy at Joann's today. Simplicity patterns for $1.99 each!
New shoes from Macy's 20% off, and Easter shoes and tops for the girls 40% off at Justice!

The sun is shining and we are going to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day (after I pick up the kids from school).

Spring????

We have had a long, cold and snowy winter here in the Mid-west. But on the bright side we have had 3 days in a row of beatiful sunshine and 50 degree weather. The kids have been playing with the dog outside. My spirits are up. Now I really have to hit the gym 3-4 days a week, swimsuit weather will be here before you know it!

Here is the princess castle clips I have been working on , they are so cute! Here is the tutorial link castle clippie.

Enjoy!

Dog Tired!

Well, Mollie has managed to wear out the puppy for the second day in a row. The other three are very jealous that Harley has become her best friend. He follows her every minute of the day!



Finished, Sophia's skirt today. It turned out great and the matching headband! Now to find a shirt to go with it, to buy? or to make? and red???, yellow?. So many decisions.
 
Tutorial coming soon!!!!
