I'll post more pictures and write more about it when my dad gets some flowers in it.
I hope everyone is having a lovely week!

Headbands and some sidewalk chalk...

Hello all! I hope everyone has had a lovely and crafty week! It's been so nice outside!
I want to share a couple of headbands that I made a few weeks back. I don't have any pictures of the first headband alone, but here is a picture of me sporting the headband with Jeffrey.
I used some leftover canvas and cut out felt flowers and leaves and used a fun stitch on my sewing machine. i particularly like this headband because it's wide enough to cover up my hair if it happens to be greasy :)


This next headband is one that I'm pretty proud of because I used only scraps of canvas and my sewing machine. How, you ask? Let me show you.

Now, about that sidewalk chalk. I babysat this week for some kids and we spent a lot of time outside with the sidewalk chalk. Look and what Andie and I created!

I really love it and I'm trying to figure out how to recreate in a way that doesn't disappear when it rains and I can keep it inside. Any suggestions?

Until next time,
E
