crafty

the other night, while i was feeding ashely just before i put her to bed, i played with a spool of white ribbon.
i get frustrated when people ask me if my babies are girls or boys. as my last 2 girls haven't had as much hair as elizabeth did, it really does make it hard.
with this spool of ribbon, i discovered that i could make flowers with it. i just had to figure out how to get them to stick together, and how to get them on the head. i have a white headband that was perfect for the cause. i made 3 last night, and sewed them together. i put a colored button in the center, for different colors.
this morning, i tried to figure out how to attach them to the headband. i took a safety pin, and pinned it on. by the afternoon it was starting to have problems. (of course, if ashley would leave it alone and not pull it over her eyes and try to eat it, it wouldn't be such an issue).
finally, it occurred to me that i could put a snap on them, and just snap them to the headband.
they are quite cute, if i must say so! and so is the baby that's wearing them!
