Headbands, Headbands, Headbands!

I've made more headbands. I'm totally addicted. My friends keep asking for them, so I'm just cranking them our as fast as I can. I made one with flowers based on these Lydia flowers. Then I made two based on an adorable and simple pattern from a common thread blog. The flowers one went to my sister and the two bows went to friends for their birthdays.
Here are some pictures.



More headbands should be coming as well as a few other projects. I'm thinking pom-poms for my next headband. Any requests,Chloe?

We are crafty people

Definitely inspired by Katie's craftiness, (very very cool headband, by the way!), and also a monster of a prom dress hanging in an old closet, I've finally decided to make something for myself.  I'm usually inspired by someone else to make something, asking myself, "What would THEY like?". But this time, I made what I wanted...and it was SO FUN!

I've had this crazy dress; a combination of white tulle, snow-queen, poufy sleeves, huge bodice, corset ribing, the works, for quite a long time. (I was very into playing 'dress-up' when I was a kid, you know, releasing my inner Disney princess.) One day, while on the treadmill, it just came to me. "BAM! I should make that into something USEFUL."  Here's what I came up with; a polka-dotted, scoop-neck mini dress...complete with lining make outta' old fabric napkins.
Recycling is fun. And it can look good too...:).

What other projects have we got going out there?
