After my last Hair bow headband tutorial, which can be found HERE, I had some left over bows. I decided that I would make them into pin-able bows that I can give as part of a baby shower gift as well.
We did a before and after post right after we moved into our Condo that we are renting,but for some reason we never showed off our storage room or what Sarah called our Garage. It was a balcony that has been inclosed,but not heated or cooled so it is always 10 degrees hotter or colder than our condo. It isn’t too extreme to be bad for the things we are storing in there, and it is a wonderful area to have to store all of our random things. We have a lot of empty bins, my sewing stuff, camping things, bikes, etc.
So for the last few months since we have moved to Huntsville, I have been cutting Grant’s hair. I am not perfect at it since I am not a hair stylist or trained at all, but every hair cut is getting better and better looking. It is also taking less time, still a LONG time,but not as long as the first few times. We do this to save money, and Grant is also very picky so we work through the hair cuts together. Well, this time it was my turn!
I am always trying to find good things to add to my baby shower gifts. There are a lot of different baby things you can make,but some people don’t use, they take way too much time to be worth it, or they are to expensive where you might as well have just bought something. I enjoy making the burp cloths, but just giving three burp cloths doesn’t seem like a good enough baby shower gift. So, I found a super simple way of making cute headbands for girl gifts at least. They are VERY affordable and have two different ways you can make them either with a sewing machine or a hot glue gun. I would say they are also super easy to make and do take a little bit of time. It took me around an hours or two to make 65 headbands.
Happy Easter from the us! I couldn’t stop thinking about the last few years that we spent with my nieces while they looked for eggs. It is times like these when I miss them a lot. I was also happy that we don’t have kids because today it poured ALL DAY so it would have been very disappointing for a child. Well, I guess knowing us, we still would have hidden eggs outside in the rain and still made a day out of it, but sunny weather is nicer for egg hunting.
I am sorry for this long absence! The week before last, I was feeling a little bit under the weather but just couldn’t shake it. This last week, I really started feeling bad but couldn’t take any sick time due to the fact that one of my coworkers was out for spring break. I was doing her job and mine so couldn’t afford to take that time off. It was all I could do to finish all the work and get dinner ready before just laying around. Needless to say blogging was the last thing on my mind. I finally went to the doctor on Thursday and have a sinus infection. Now that I have drugs, I am much happier and will hopefully get back on the blogging bandwagon.
