Fabric Yo-Yo Headbands Part 1

As you may have figured out from reading this blog, I love adding fabric yo yos to things. A while ago I decided to make some headbands with them. So, I made some fabric yo yos and then we tracked down some headbands with teeth in them. We found a bunch of satin, tulle, netting, ect. on sale after Halloween. So, we were able to get a bunch of small pieces of materials reasonable priced. :D Here's how the first three turned out. I love my new Christmas headband. It is so festive! I think all 3 turned out nice-The one with the purple and green tulle was a Christmas present for one of my cousins. :)

Etsy Ornament Finds

Happy December! I can't believe Christmas is just over 3 weeks away. It will be here before we know it. I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season no matter what you celebrate. :) Lately I have been looking at a lot of handmade ornaments on etsy and tutorials to make my own. You might say I am getting a little bit obsessed. I found some really great ones on etsy recently that would make great additions to anyone's ornament collection.

Cork Board Redo

I found a cork board around the house and my lovely mom redecorated it to fit my bedroom's style. I think it fits nicely with my moroccan theme.

Etsy Amethyst/Purple Finds

I can't believe it is already February! It is almost time to celebrate being another year older. (my birthday is on the 24th) I decided to do an Etsy blog feature inspired by my birthstone which as many may know is Amethyst. "Amethyst is a violet variety of quartz often used in jewelry"-wikipedia. The color purple is also my favorite color, I hope you will like these finds in purple hues as much as I do.
