Hair Steps

My daughter has thin wispy hair
It's really hard to manage and it's still too short to pull up all at once
So I found this great blog with the tutorial to do this hair style
I love this blog for ideas on doing my daughters hair
because the models that they work on
have the thin and wispy hair too
If you have little girls with hair that's hard to do 
check out their blog
for come cute simple ideas that  work with this kind of hair!

Fabric Balls


I saw these cloth balls and thought that maybe 
my baby boy would like them
I found the tutorial
HERE
She has several free patterns on the right of the site
just look for the pictures of the cloth balls
(hers look much better)
Grandrevivaldesign.com is a great crafting blog
and I love that she has free patterns!
Was it easy?
Yes!
Next time I will probably stuff them much fuller
They look a bit lop sided 
But both the kids LOVE playing with them
So I don't really care!
Make them and enjoy!!!

Little Boy Bow Tie





How cute is this little (it looks huge on my little man) bow tie???
The link for the tutorial is
HERE
It was done by a girl who made the site
rufflesandstuff.com
She has so many cute ideas that I plan on making in the future
Super talented
I did tweak a few things...
as you can see I made the back rectangle bigger than the front
but stayed pretty close to the tutorial
Was this easy to make???
Well... I would say on a scale of 1-10
where 10 is the easiest
It gets a
7
 Not because of the tutorial
She did a GREAT job
It was because of my own inability to sew and craft.

Summer Skirts



Here is my first crafting project.  
The link to the tutorial is  
I found the tutorial on a hair blog Hair Today
(it has a lot of cute hair ideas if you are interested in that as well check it out).
I just kind of ran into it and decided to give it a try.
Was this easy to make...
Yes!!!
The skirts only took me around 30 to 40 minutes each
The tutorial was so easy to follow that I made three of them.
So those of you with little girls...GIVE IT A TRY!!! 
My little girl wears then all the time
They are light and cool for hot summer days!
