Another Craft Project

Because she now has enough hair, she got to wear a bow yesterday(minus her usual headband, which actually held the bow on her head).




Because we came home with 18 new bows from the cousin's collection that they no longer wear, I felt it important to have something to attach them to.

Ta da.


Cost: $4.33 (all from Michael's)
The wood word was $1.00,and they had several to chose from. I got 3 different spools of ribbon with 9 yds each on them for $1.00 apiece. Took me 15 minutes to assemble with the help of the hot glue gun.

I love it when cheap crafts turn out cute. Now, if I could only figure out how to actually make a bow...

What do you think? UPDATED

UPDATED: I don't want to take credit for something that I only partially had an input in...I realized I should have stated that while I do have a new blog header, I didn't design it completely. I used a blog header pack from www.thecutestblogontheblock.com and then added the pictures and text (which was still an accomplishment in itself, seeing as how I don't have Photoshop). But I didn't want to indicate that I actually designed the whole thing, because I didn't. Just wanted to make sure no one thought I was taking credit for something that someone much more blog design savvy had actually created. If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about, read the original post below. :)


ORIGINAL: I should have ironed, cleaned house, worked on case notes, washed clothes, washed the dog, etc., but I didn't. No, while my sick baby was napping this afternoon, I became engrossed and determined to have a different blog header and background. Can I just say that teaching yourself how to do the blog header (even with some basic written help) was one more task? My brain hurts now from all the frustration that I experienced this afternoon, but I'm pleased with the turnout for an amateur.

But what I really want to know is this...do you think the background is too much activity with the new blog header? Let me know your thoughts!

PS...Micayla just has a cold, but it's only her second (of many, I'm told to expect), and I feel like I'm covered in germs. Anyways, she's okay--just a little on the sick side. I'm trying my best not to get it, and Hudson was thankful he got to go to work today. :) (Though he did call and check on us, how sweet. Awww.)
