it was my birthday!!

It was my birthday, so I wanted to do something special for all my lovely blog readers:)

Go check it out and buy something . . .it's a great deal!

3-Rolled Flower Headband in Yellow-Green *For Sale*

I made this headband in that yellow-greeny color I love.  But it ended up being too tight for me and gave me a headache ... will have to do something else with it:)

Tell you what . . . it's been worn only once; if you're not scared of me, you can buy it for $1.75.  Email me here if you're interested.  I think it might fit good for a younger girl, but I don't know for positive.  If you're someone I see quite a bit, you could try it on if you wanted:)

Have a wonderful day!!

Bronwyn Laci

Bronwyn Laci is my darling, little, annoying, cute, spoiled sister!  Yesterday, I made a pink ruffled headband and decided to give it to her, so then I was taking some pics of her.  Some of them were pretty cute, and some of them were plain out hilarious!!!!  I just thought I'd show them to you all:)

tongue stickin' out:)

Walker & Bronwyn

The cutie-pies:)

She was like shaking her head around and "whipping her hair around" and a few just looked like they kind of sorta went in order:)

I (sorta) did this post because I haven't posted anything for a while and I decided I needed to post something . . . don't want to not post anything and let my blog get too boring!  I really, really, really need to start doing some more crafting - I've made a couple things lately, but there not of enough quality to show you all and they didn't exactly turn out the way they were supposed to:(  But I guess by practicing and playing around with things, eventually I'll get something that I like and I'll get more creative with the more stuff I do!

I can't wait for Saturday to go to the scrapbook retreat . . . It's going to be soooo much fun!!!!  I have to make some butterhorns sometime this week for the scrapbook retreat.  I don't want to exactly, but I guess I'm going to anyways because I should contribute a snack just like everyone else is:)

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Bright Pink & Dark Sparkly Gray Copy-Cat Bag + Some Extras

This last Wednesday, we went to my Aunt Marti's to craft.  My Aunt Karen was there, too.  We crafted a lot all day, and Karen was making a bag quite like the one I'm showing you, but a total different color scheme than mine!  Her's were so adorable, I decided I wanted to make one, too:)  So I got the measurements from her and she told me how to make it.  That is how this became "The Copy-Cat Bag". 

WARNING:  If you're scared of LOTS of pictures, don't read look on!  :)

Yes, I had lots of pictures . . . :)

Oh, I forgot to mention, in the insides of the bag, which is made of the sparkly gray fabric, I put the a pocket on each side of the bag made of the pink fabric.

Tonight, I made a headband for my sister to give as a gift to someone.  It's a Round-About Headband in shades of brown and cream.  (I had to use a headband backwards just . . . that's why you see pink stars!)

And I have a sneaky peak for you of something I'm working on to put in the AJcrazies Blog Sale shop!  Can you guess?!?

Also, I put a new item in the shop tonight . . . a Jean Ruffle Hot Pad . . .go check it out here.

(I made it at Marti's on Wednesday.)

I hope you all had an awesome day . . . and an awesome morning (in 2 minutes)!!!

Headbands, Headbands, YES Another Headband!

You guys are all thinking I'm a little obsessed with headbands yet???  Well, guess what?  You're right!  I myself even realize that!  It's ridiculous.  Dumb.  Pointless (kind of).  You can think of lots of words for this, those only being one of many!  That is my obsession right now.  I kind of wish I wasn't obsessed with making headbands (mind the word kind of there, because I DO like making them!).

So this is my little big obsession!  And now it's your turn to tell me what your obsession is!  Is it something big?  Little? Weird? What is it?  Tell me what you wish . . . . let me know!  Because I like to hear what all my blog readers have to say and learn a little more about all of you!

Now yes, what is with the post title?  I suppose what I wrote in the first part kind of explains it.  But guess what:

Headbands, Headbands, Not YES Another Headband  (or 2)!!!

So yes, I do have another couple of headbands to share with you . . . You guys are all getting bored of all my headbands most likely, but I do like to share my crafts on my blog:)  So you get to see more headbands!

The first one is the Pink Poppy Headband.  It's a simple, but darling headband!  I love it . . . and apparently my little sister Bronwyn does, too (explained in this post).

Here's some pictures of this one:

A closer up of the 'poppy'

And the other one is another Ribbon & Ruffle Headband.  I think I might like this one a little bit better . . . . I like them both though!  This one is Burnt Orange & Cream - Ribbon & Ruffle Headband.  I really like all the design in the fabric; it makes the ruffle a lot more interesting.  I got the fabric from school (I'm in a Textiles & Apparel class) and I started making it there and finished it at home.

And here's some pictures of this one:

The Ruffle ~ isn't the pattern of the fabric so pretty for this?!

I was going to say "Guess what, It's snowing again, and it's pouring down hard!", but it stopped now:(  I kind of wanted it to keep snowing, and it might start again later, because I really do not want to go to school tomorrow!  Today we had 2 1/2 hour late start, and I really didn't want to go to school, but I did anyways:)

Hope everyone had an awesome day!



No School!!!

Since we had no school today, I decided I really should clean/organize my stuff in our girls' bedroom.  I got it mostly done, but not exactly to my liking.  I need to get some more shelves and baskets/containers to get everything all organized wonderful:)

Today, as I was cleaning, I found some flower things that I had made for something a while back, but didn't end up using.  I'm not even sure what I made them for, but I decided to make a headband out of them that I think turned out really cute . . . and now Bronwyn wants it . . . The question is though, if I gave it to her, would she even wear it?  Because other headbands I have made for her she has either lost or she rarely, if ever wears them:(  So I'm not sure if I'm keeping it or not, but I really do like it . . . no pics tonight though, because I don't feel like loading pictures onto the computer.

So I probably really should be getting ready to go to bed now, since I have school tomorrow, but I just don't feel like it, so I'm here blogging:)

So I'll leave you now, with this:

You can buy some of these awesome baby toys to hang on your carseat, or whatever else you wish!  Buy one here, or any of several other awesome items.  These are from the EMKDesigns etsy shop - you definitely want to go check it out because she has tons of AWESOME items!

Hope you all had a wonderful day!

More Headbands & Ramblings

Lately, I've made a few headbands - like one every day!  I guess, though, that's okay, because I wear a headband like every day so it's okay to have a variety:)

In advance, sorry about the horrible pictures:(

Another Simple Lace Headband ~ this time I only put elastic in the back.  (yes, this pic is blurry.)

Ribbon & Ruffle Headband (elastic in the back on this one, too)

Close up of the Ribbon & Ruffle Headband.

No name for this one . . . it's a made of a silky fabric and it's kind of hard to work with (I'm making a skirt out of this fabric - this was some of the scraps from the fabric) . . . elastic in the back of this one, too:)

Yesterday, I put a pocket in a couple skirts (have to have pockets for my insilin pump (I have diabetes).

I experimented putting pockets on the front this time, rather than in the side seam . . . I like the better on the front, and they're WAY easier to put on!  Most skirts though, unless you make them, you have to put the pocket in the inside:(

I started this Mile-a-Minute Frog Quilt a LONG time ago when I got these embroidered frog squares from my grandma (who got them from a garage sale, I think) and I finally started working on it again.  All the blocks are sewn together, now I just need to add the border to it to finish the front.  Then I need to do the back, quilting, and binding.

Yesterday was Gender Defender day at school.  The girls wore pink and the boys blue (well, they were supposed to, anyways!).  So really, the thing is, I don't have all that much pink clothes, even though it is my favorite color.  So I had this pink long sleeve shirt, so I layered a gray sweater over it, and a limey green scarf.  I also pinned a flower I made Thursday night onto the scarf to add a little bit more pink to my outfit.  Oh, I guess I had a pink headband, too.

We had an assembly in the afternoon to see who won the gender defender contest . . . Yes, of course, the girls won!  Because we're cool like that:)

The other day, the moon was really pretty - not sure if it was a full moon, but it looked pretty much like it anyways - it was so bright and beautiful in the clear night sky, with only a few scatterings of clouds around.  The pictue didn't turn out very good, though, but I decided to put it on here anyways.

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Simple Lace Headband & Jean Ruffle Hotpad

Yesterday I made a couple things.  First, I made a Jean Ruffle Hotpad.  I think it turned out really cute!  I used recycled jeans and fabric scraps.

 

I LOVE RUFFLES!!!

I really like how the color combination on this turned out:)  I think the pictures are cool, too . . . the reflections (I had it on the table) and everything!

Second, I made a Simple Lace Headband.  And they really are simple to make!  It's just made a headband out of elastic, and then sewed lace over it, not quite all the way around, though, to leave a little "stretch" room.

(no, my ponytail wasn't too cute at the moment)

I had really fun making these and I think they both turned out great!

Enjoy:)
