Knotted Headband & Tutorial

My super cute and stylin' sis told me about a great blog that I haven't come across yet on my own. If any of you are crafters, you will probably love checking out this blog as much as I have! The blogger, Cami, recently put up a post of these amazing headbands that she figured out. Lucky for all of us, she even included A Tutorial! 

Don't you love this knot? 

The directions in her tutorial were great and easy to follow. 

So easy, 

in fact, 

that I got a little carried away....

Yep.

I actually made tons of these little lovelies in just a couple of days

(nap-time crafting days, that is...)

I didn't follow Cami's tutorial exactly for putting the headbands together, though. 

I didn't want to deal with a big bow of ribbon behind my head to stick through my hair,

So I changed the ribbon ties to an elastic instead. 

Glued the ribbon to one side

Glued on one end of the elastic on the other side

Then glued the ends of the ribbon closed over the elastic,

and repeated on the other end of the headband.

I am loving these!

A Rug Story

Once upon a time I had a really good secret that I didn't tell you. I started a project that I was so excited about I couldn't keep quiet. I'm horrible at keeping secrets, but now I don't have to keep it all hush because my project is all done! I finished it this morning:

I crocheted a rug for my little Miss G's room! I used all these big pieces of scrap fabric from my Mom and my Grandma that they didn't want any more... luckily there were a few that went together! It turned out so sweet in her little nursery. Miss G has been so excited about it that she would come up to me and "go night night" in the rug while I was trying to work on it. I put it in her room an hour ago, and she is still in there playing with her toys and her clothes on it.

I knew I wanted to make a rug for Miss G's room, so I searched around for different tutorials on how to do it, exactly. Turns out it is super simple, ah, just my style. This is where I saw a good way to cut the fabric. And I love the colors of the rug that she made, by the way.
