Flower girls Hair Pieces

So I've completed (almost) my first project for the wedding and I'm really pleased with the way they've turned out. Hair pieces for the flower girls and junior bridesmaids!

I used brown tulle and thread, pink roses, orange mini lilies, flat single prong clips from Sally's, pink felt and good old fashioned hot glue.

First I want to showcase my beautiful nieces who are going to be the flower girls and junior bridesmaids. They are in the two photos below. Aren't they gorgeous?

These two in the pictures below are my girls who are also flower girls. My youngest is the main flower girl to be the last to walk out right before the bride.

And these are the hair pieces I made. Turned pretty awesome right? I forgot to make one for my soon-to-be new niece. I'm not used to having another one yet! SO I still have one to go which is why I said 'almost' completed.

And this is how it looks on. (*this is me :)

Feedback is greatly appreciated!! Somehow one of my last pics got deleted and I don't know how to get it back on here without re-uploading it and moving it which I'm too lazy to do at the moment... haha

She's getting married!!

I have SSOOO many ideas in my head that I feel I'm either going to A. POP, or B. forget everything and cry when I try to remember that super awesome idea I had, but can no longer remember.

I am a bridesmaid, along with my other sister-in-law, Catrina, and Shalane's fiance's oldest daughter, Brielle. We finally found our Bridesmaid dresses!

Aren't they awesome? I just love the silky rosette accent :)

I had a really cute idea for tutu's for all the flower girls (there are 6 of them!) and was so excited to make them, but the bride took over the project, and I'm so excited to see how they turn out and how adorable my daughters and nieces will be on the big day.

My next idea is cute little ballet slippers for all of them. So I want to take those cheap, solid color slippers from Walmart and turn them into ballet style slippers by sewing shiney ribbons into the back of the shoe where the slipper material meets the bottom of the slipper with enough excess that it can be tied up around their calf to mimic how a ballet shoe looks. I also thought that adding some kind of cute big flower to the top of the toe area would be way cute. I'm going to make a pair and if I get the bride's approval, I'll post a tutorial.

I'm also taking on what I'm calling Project Veil. I cannot tell you how many idea I have for the veil and the bride's hair!! I can't wait to get Cat over to my house so I can have someone to practice on. Think feathers, gems, cascades of white netting, and a touch of pink and orange ribbon with white roses. It's pretty in my head, but probably sounds a bit goddy on paper. No need to fear tho! It will be perfect :)

And for the centerpiece's of the tables at the reception I found this:

and the bride found this:

and together they are going to make one super cute centerpiece! Seriously guys, Google has become my BEST FRIEND lately just trying to find wedding ideas and looking for pictures of ideas that I have. (I'm not very good at explaining things, as you can probably already tell...)

So keep checking back for all the fun wedding idea updates. I'll be keeping everyone posted :)

Rag Rolls!!

Need a new way to curl your little ones hair that doesn't have her screaming at the thought of getting burned or having to stand still for a half hour? I sure did!

Rag rolls. Perfect solution.

Took about

My mom asked me the other day if I remembered a girl who used to baby sit me all the time when I was little, and did rag rolls in my hair before my parents came home so it would be curly the next day.

I didn't, otherwise this would NOT be something I am just now blogging about. So I decided to try it out on my daughter's hair since she has her Cmas program tomorrow for school and there will be no time in the morning to do it with the iron.

Success! My two year old even asked me to do it to her! This is how they look. Reminds me of the good ol' days :)

I thought you guys might like a how to video because in my excitement after my mom's comment, I didn't wait to make one so I surfed Youtube and found this one that I liked. This lady doesn't call them rag rolls, but they're basically the same thing.

I did mine the exact same way she did in this video which is why I chose this one. Some people do them differently like with bobby pins or sponge rollers, but this was what I thought would be most comfortable for my girls to sleep in so that's how I did it. Apparently I'm not alone in those thoughts :)

This is how mine turned out.

Ah, my little curly haired beauties :)

I LOVE Fall colors!

I made this hair clip yesterday and I was so excited to be wearing brown today so I could try it out. It's 3 flowers on one clip and I just love the light brown and orange. Sorry about my hair, I had all of a single minute to throw it up this morning. Anyway, I just wanted to share because I love the clip and especially the colors.

I may not get a chance to post again before Thanksgiving because my baby is sick, so just in case, Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers! I hope you all have an amazing and delicious day!

Pomander Tutorial

While I was surfing google and crafting blogs this morning (like any other Sunday afternoon) I found this. How cute are these? I just love them! I can't wait to make a couple and hang them up in my daughter's room. They will both just love them. And they're not hard to make either! I absolutely love finding tutorials for all the creative stuff people out there are designing. It's so much fun!

Fancy Lace Earring Holder

The original idea for this belongs to my bother-in-law, Jeremy, who made one of these for his wife out of a strip of material and a hanger to go in their closet. My mother-in-law then made a more durable version for my sister-in-law, after which Jeremy made three of the same for his wife. And then there's my version.

Pretty fancy huh?
