A Mushroom, A Couple of Birds and A Hairy Finish!

I take bad pictures since I still haven't figured out how to use my digital camera to its best advantage, so, I played with my new images in my PaintShop Pro program (that I love!) and made them all look fancier!

First I have a darling little wool felt mushroom house that I finished a couple of weeks ago. I got the pattern from the little house by the sea. I love the way it turned out! If you like to work with felt you should really check out her wonderful pattern! I took a series of pictures of the embroidery I did on it. We start at the front door and work our way clockwise around the "house."


Next up I have the second completed applique block from the BOM offered over at Bunny Hill Designs. I think it turned out really cute! I fused the applique's on then did a blanked stitch in coordinating floss around them. But where is the first block you say? ('cause I know you totally noticed that I haven't posted the first one yet) Well, I haven't quite made that one yet. No one ever said I liked to do things in the proper order!!

(lace was just added in my photo editing program)

Last, but not least, are a couple more pictures of Baby Girls hair. The first one I did yesterday. Just kinda "made it up" on the fly (not that anyone ever makes up anything new!). I was doing her hair the way I usually do it, just pulling the front back in a band, when I decided to put it in a twisted pony. Why stop there I thought, so I kept gathering new sections and twisting them through until we had a complete pony tail/twisted braid thingy. (Just in case you didn't know, "thingy" is a technical term that I frequently use)


Today I went here and used a modified version of her heart ponytail. I like Baby Girl's hair down and softer around her face so that is what prompted me to do it this way. I think it turned out really cute! In case you can't tell, my Daughter is loving all the new do's! 'Course, what girl doesn't!!

We Interupt Your Regular Scheduled Programming...

For Baby Girl!

So, the other day I was surfing the intrawebs...just for a short while...really...no I was not on a marathon "waste your day at the computer" streak! I did not sit in front of my computer for four hours...it was more like five. What do you mean I have a problem?!?

Oops! Did I say that out loud? Anyways, as I was saying before I rudely interrupted myself, I was surfing the intrawebs, minding my own business when I jumped to Tip Junkie. What to my wondering eyes should appear but a beautiful braid! Yes I said braid...no I don't care if they don't want to hear about braids...they can go always close the window...now will you shut up and let me finish! Jeesh, people are going to start thinking I talk to myself, or have a split personality or something!

Tip Junkie did a spot on The Story of a Princess and Her Hair. Let me tell you, boys and girls, Kori does some amazing things with her Daughter's hair. The really cool thing is that she shares how to make the styles with all of us in blogland who are interested! Believe you me, I'm interested!

I usually just pull the top of Baby Girls hair back to keep it out of her face. Sometimes I do a french braid or what I call a princess braid (which is a half french braid on each side), or two braids (think Indian maiden). Baby Girl has so much hair that I am sure I can get some great looks using Kori's instructions.

Here's a picture of Baby Girl with her Princess Braid:


This has been an alert of the Emergency Hair Broadcasting System, if this had been a real hair emergency...yadda, yadda, yadda...
