Something accomplished today

Posted on

This afternoon has been one of those: Ian is teething and getting over a cold, so he in no way shape or form took a nap or even a quiet rest. He spent most of the time fussing and crying. But, I was able to ignore him long enough to try one of these felt rose clips from PurlBee. It’s really cute. I need to cut out a bunch to work on when I’m waiting for ballet class to get done or other little snippets of down time. It’s one of those self-contained projects that you can work on a little bit at a time and take all the supplies with you. I do need to find some more of the nice felt. There isn’t a very big color selection in town and if you’re going to go to all the trouble to hand-stitch something, it needs to be the good stuff.

Clamoring for my attention 🙂

Flower Hair Clip

Posted on

I’ve been so restless lately so I’ve been trying to focus on a few unfinished projects I have laying around. I’ve been meaning to make more hair clips for A so I used up some scrap fabric and made matching flowers for me and her. I used this pattern and instructions found at this blog Wise Craft. I sewed the flower onto a snap clip and tada, instant hair clip.
