Masquerade Mask

Our High School is having a Masquerade themed prom this year and my friend volunteered us to make a mask for one of our clients.  Before we even got started on hers, we had three other orders.  We worked on the first one this weekend and I think it turned out pretty good. 

We could not wait to take it to her and it looks so good with this gorgeous dress of hers!

Gettn' Back on Track

I have fallen off the organizing wagon as of late.  I am trying to get back on though!  I took three bags of clothes to the local thrift store today.  I also picked up the pile of t-shirts off my floor that I pulled out months ago and started cutting them into strips.  I will probably make some flowers out of them and I might use some as "yarn" and crochet something with them.  Right now though, I am just glad they are off my floor!

More Burp Rags and My First Heat Transfer Vinyl

I ordered some heat transfer vinyl several weeks ago and I have some projects in mind for it, BUT I wanted to practice before I used it on a new t-shirt.  So, after making a few new burp rags I decided to test out the vinyl on them.  This one is one of my favorites for 2 reasons:

1)  Cute boy ribbon is hard to find in anything other than the basic baby blue.
2)  My son used to LOVE anything cowboy related.

This one I had to use Sure Cuts A Lot so I could cut the letters in mirror image, which my Cricut won't do.  It turned out nice too.

Bathroom Update

When I was cleaning the bathroom this weekend I noticed how much this "thing" on the back of the toilet really irritated me. 

It was just too much white all there together like that! UGH.  So, today I had to go out of town to the dentist and I stopped by Hobby Lobby and picked up some new drawer pulls.  Then, after three coats of brown paint, it was ready to take its rightfull place back on its throne. 

Thanks for looking!

What Would Tabatha Do?

There is nothing crafty about this post, BUT I just had to show off my copy of Tabatha Coffey's new book, It's Not Really About the Hair.

Want to see something even better than that? 

It is signed..... by Tabatha herself! I was showing it off to the girls at the shop but I told them they couldn't touch it, only look!  Did I mention I met her?

This is my mom and I (and Tabatha) at a hair show in St. Louis last April.

I am excited to get started reading and find out.....What Would Tabatha Do?

Spit Happens!

Here are a few of the burp rags that I made recently.  I just sold the monkey one (which is probably my favorite, eVeR) the other day.  I use a cloth diaper and cut 4inch strips of coordinating ribbon and sew to both ends and then sew a wider ribbon to cover the ends.  I sew that ribbon on the front and back of the cloth so there is no right or wrong side to the burp rag.
