I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

So here is my entry for the Faces and Flowers Challenge at I Heart Faces. (Yes this is the picture from the previous post.) We were at the park one day and the clover flowers were all over the place so I had to have a little photo shoot with my daughter.

Do you ever remember making head wreaths out of them? I do them for her now. It makes me think of those carefree days as a child when all we had to worry about was a stubbed toe and cooties.

Do you like the sparkly jelly shoes she has on? She wears them all the time. All hail the 80's!

Here is what I made this time.

This is just for laughs. I put this flower in my daughter's hair and she proceeded to just add more to "pretty" herself up. You like how the right side (her left) looks nice and in place while the left side (her right) has some issues?

By-the-way, this picture was taken with my point and shoot.

Photography

So, here are a couple photos that I have taken and messed with on Photoshop. These were taken before I knew anything really about my DSLR. I'm starting to get the hang of it now.

My little boy just turned 2 and this was his little church outfit. Isn't he so handsome?

What pointers do you have? I am So open to any suggestions and critiques. Thanks!

Flowers Beautiful

I am going to be teaching a bunch of women how to make different types of hair accessories and here is the list that I have compiled for their information. There are so many different flower tutorials out there and I'm sure I have missed a bunch but this is a good list to start with.

On top of these wonderful sites I also LOVE Girly Things Bows. I think they have the best tutorials on making ribbon bows. They have over 30 different tutorials. It's wonderful. Check them out for sure.
The other place that I have found is Make Bows And More. Both are great resources.

I Heart Faces "Smiles" Photo Challenge

So here is my entry in the I Heart Faces Photo Challenge. I just love how this turned out.

Fabric Flower Hair Clip

For church I had bought my daughter a cute little red and white dress. (I'll put it on later.) I was looking at the hair accessories she had and wanted something different than the flower I usually use. I decided to raid my fabric stash and found a fat quarter of this fabric. It was a perfect match so I cut a 3 inch strip, folded it in half and ironed it, did a gather stitch on the raw side, pulled it in so that it gathered and glued it into a circle. Then I added a decorative button.
On the other side I cut out a circle in fleece and cut two little slits in it. then I glued that to the bottom of the flower and added a lined alligator clip through the two slits.

It turned out so cute. What's funny is that when we got to church we found that one of Caelan's friends had the SAME dress on. Now the mom wants a clip like I made and I just might have to make one for her so that the girls can match.

Crochet Mary Jane Baby Slippers

I have been wanting to make crocheted baby slippers and found this tutorial on YouTube. Here is the pattern instructions here. I was so excited to try it out. I think they turned out SO cute. I think the pictures don't do them justice. They are so tiny too. They are definitely infant size.

Little Man Tie

I have been looking for a pattern and tutorial for a little man's tie and I found a really easy one here. It is done by M & A. Thanks so much for this easy tie to make. I think it turned out so cute. To bad the shirt I made the tie to go with is now too small. Oh well. I'll have to buy a new shirt now. Darn. I can't wait to make some more.
