Funness

So my BFF (the same that started and encouraged my march madness and April projects that I didn't do!) came to visit last week. Thank goodness for cheap plane tickets (dirt cheap) and no work so we could play for a couple days! We managed to cram every second full of crafting stuff, which was SO fun. We did a lot of sewing which was great because it's been forever since I've done any and wasn't super confident, but now feel much more confident to tackle it on my own! Here's the stuff we did...it was fun because everything turned out! Maybe not our favorite stuff some of it, but good enough we can use it and it was fun :)

Headbands: SOOOO my favorite project. They were so fun and they are ADORABLE on the girls. (Dena has a 6 mo old daughter). More pictures to come in a different post :) (Ellie top, Kennedi bottom)



Then the next day we made skirts. We were SO nervous the whole time, but they turned out cute!! (Please excuse the messy house. I was busy crafting)



The next day were necklaces. We made the flowers and started the beading. I haven't finished this project yet, but it's well on it's way and I'm excited! I've never made jewelry and this is a fun one to start on.


The idea of it came from here...
Multi-Strand Bloom Necklace

Then came the t-shirt hats..
Mine..

Kai's..

Kennedi's still needs to be fitted..

After that was the t-shirt dress. I can't wait till Kennedi can fit in this, it turned out pretty fun!

Last but certainly not least was the rose belts. It was fun too, I wouldn't make more, but it'll be fun. Pardon the weird color...it's a gray/green linen that apparently doesn't photograph well in dark bathrooms. Who knew.

Then we squeezed in a quick photo shoot of the girls before we had to catch the plane. Hope the girls grow up to be best friends just like us!

Love ya deen!
