The Craft

I've had two dilemmas the past week or so. 1. Trying to figure out how to perform the art of baby headband making, like I discussed in a previous post. And 2. thinking of a way to hold my first giveaway!... That's right! I'm going on a week-long cruise next week (a post to come on it soon) and I'm thinking of having a little contest while I'm gone.

Well, I think I've figured out how to make these beautiful little crafty delights and I'm going to experiment and give my first few away!! Details on the giveaway will come next week, but aren't you so happy I'm giving this a try? I'm still thinking of something cute for little boys (have any ideas? I'm up for experiments). Oh, don't be mad if their ugly. Ok? I didn't say I'm perfect. I'll have more details on the contest next week!

The Homemaker in Me

I think I've figured out why I don't like cooking... you eat it and it's gone. There's no lasting enjoyment or opportunity to "show off" as in other homemaking projects. My husband thinks it's strange that I take pictures of everything I cook. I've been really good lately about making stuff... It's still been ingredients all conveniently placed in a box, but a couple of weeks ago I made this chicken Alfredo stuff and I had to cook the chicken on the frying pan and cut it and everything! Yes, I took a picture...I accidentally deleted it though and I'm really mad!

Anyway, like I was saying, I like some other homemaking projects like sewing for instance. I never thought I'd want to sew but after seeing a lack in cute matching collars and leashes for my boy dog I decided to learn how to make him some! Now I have my own small business making collars for a shop in Utah as well as lots of people here in Austin!

Lately I've noticed some of my friends dress up their cute little girls in the most ADORABLE hair bows!! I MUST learn how to make them! Anyone know how? I can't imagine it being very difficult. It almost seems like a matter of gluing.


I'm hoping if I start soon I can have a different color/design for every day of my darling little girl's infant/baby/toddler life!... And hopefully even have some for shower presents along the way.

I've told myself I WILL NOT buy things for a baby I'm not pregnant with... But I never said I wouldn't MAKE something *evil smirk*
