Hello Hello!
I had a birthday a few days ago (I’m still having birthdays, but no longer aging) and he gave me a spectacular present.
He gave me an entire day (today) too.
And so, I am sitting here, at Panera, munching a bagel, sipping a mocha, blogging.
Ahhhh… And just so you know, my usual blogging routine goes something like this: running to the computer as soon as both kids are asleep, getting as much done as quickly as possible, then grabbing the baby when she wakes us and trying to bounce her/nurse her on my lap so that I can finish up the post I am working on (which I raring accomplish) before the little guy gets up and then the blogging window closes.
But today, I can leisurely sit here and type away…and in the process get a little long-winded!
Ahhhh, thank you, Lord, for my wonderful man!
Okay, enough of that, onto the project! I got a funky one for you today:
I stitched up these Pony-Tail girls in honor of my three sisters.
And I was the second of four girls in my family. I distinctly remember sitting on the bench, eating breakfast and my mom walking down the line of us with a hairbrush doing our hair.
She’d often ask “side of the back”–because it was the late ’80s early ’90s and side pony-tails were common–and then quickly do one girl’s hair before moving onto the next.
Great memories!
And each Sunday at mass our hair would always have a ribbon!
See what I mean (any my crafty mom sewed all those dressed too!):
Supplies:
Here is the sketch that I started this project with (I used my 2.5-inch punch, that’s why the circle is so perfect).
Pretty simple, right?
This is how most of my projects start out, with a sketch.
Then, I cut up the sketch and use it as a pattern.
I like wearing broaches. I don’t care if that makes me sound like an old woman!
PS–Here are another broaches I made for St. Patty’s Day!
I love that you stopped by! Have a wonderful day,
