Wedding Season

Wedding season is quickly approaching. As of today, we have been invited to 6 weddings. I'll be kicking off the season by attending my friend's bachelorette party this weekend. I'm not a fan of the typical cheap & tacky veils (decorations, games, "straws", etc.) that girls wear when they go out for their party. So, I made this headband for my friend to wear as an alternative. I know that bachelorette parties are suppose to be wild and raunchy, but what's wrong with cute and classy?

At it Again

Yesterday, while Joe and I were watching a movie, I made a few more hair bows. Some of the ribbon I recently purchased to try to make the bows, while some of it was from past projects. Pretty soon Elle will have one for every out-fit. They are actually fun to make. I love seeing the finished outcome. I know, I'm such a dork. I'm going to have to try something a little fancier than the basic bow.

Here's a shot of the non-slip grip I put inside. These are never sliding out of that red hair.

I Finally Figured Out What to Use it For

After buying a $5 bow for my infant and looking at it thinking, "Hey, I could do this," I was on a bow making frenzy all weekend. I purchased a few supplies at JoAnn's and Sally Beauty Supply and with the help of my trusty glue gun, that has been with me since high school, I made quite a few hair bows that weren't too bad. I even added a non-slip grip to keep them in the hair. I was pretty proud of myself. I think Joe was pretty impressed too. He had to compare my bow with the purchased one first before he could really be satisfied with my results, of course.
Anyways, I was cleaning up my bow mess this morning, debating where to store my ribbon supply when I spotted the gift my friend Karen gave me for my birthday 2 years ago. It's a tree like structure from IKEA that has been sitting on my bookshelf looking a little lonely. I just didn't know what to do with it until now. It's a perfect spot to hang my spools of ribbon, at least for now.
