Feeling a little home-makey...

We found this great site for girls hair dos - and we've gone there the last few weeks before church to pick out pretty little dos for the girls!

What makes this special, though is - a few days before, I got together with a few friends and my sister-in-law and we made hair bows - well, sort of - I sort of ran around and got nothing done, and Jolisa made the bows for me, and the other girls made little flower clippies - I did make headbands - but didn't get a chance to make bows - until about 5 minutes before we left for church! So here are the 'dos with little flowery clippies!



I just love the one of all 3 girls, Brynn is so adorable!

So while still on my home-makey kick, Kiersten wanted me to make a swim suit cover-up...she picked out both the pattern and the fabrics. Sorry about the one-legged pose, I had to catch her off guard to get a picture of her...she thinks she has a big dipper on her forehead...uh - okay - well, it DOES look a little astronomical...but we're looking at the DRESS here! Cute, huh?
We saved some material in case she wants to make a headband or scrunchie or something.

Look what mommy made!

I got a wild hair last night while in Walmart (I understand Walmart has that effect on people, I don't normally frequent the store, but I was looking for dill weed - a SPICE, not my husband) and thought I'd take a look-see at what other things they might have there.

I passed by the fabric part of the store - and saw this really cute sun hat pattern, which I've been wanting to get one for Coby - so I thought I'd take a gander at the fabrics. I LOVE the bow in the back of it!

Yah - I'm not a good fabric-picker-outer, according to my kids, the outfit (color pattern) makes her look somewhat clown-like - but I think the hat is ADORABLE!

And although I made the dress reversible, I don't think we'll ever use the striped side, cause, yah - too clown-like - I wish they hadn't said anything cause I liked it until I related it to a clown.

I didn't know what fabric to do the bow on the back of the hat with - so I made two bows, and just turned this one into a headband...

ANYWHOOOOO - the emerald buttons (on her shoulders) belonged to my "Grandma" (great great aunt) Nancy who I miss dearly! So now the dress is special to me - cause it has gramma's buttons on it!

And - Ross couldn't help but take a picture of his new punk rocker son playing guitar hero! HAA! Kind of fitting!
