Wedding band...

...haha!! NO!!! i'm not engaged! i'm only sixteen for heaven's sakes!! :) so technically, this is like, a wedding HEADband...but i betcha you looked twice, right? okay, probably not, considering nobody has called a wedding ring a "band" since the 1940's..... :) i made this headband for my brother and soon-to-be-sister-in-laws (there has to be a better way to say that...) wedding. 

her colors are gray, robin egg blue, light yellow, and creamy colors. so all the bridesmaids people (me) have these cardigans that match and then we're just doing our own gray skirt. so. me being the little crafty person that i am...there's gotta be somethin' in the hair, i mean, who doesn't wear stuff in their hair? um...lots of people...wait? seriously? okay, sorry, so i went to jo-anns (i could be happy for life if i lived there with an endless supply of "cheese-its"...don't ask...) and bought a string of pearls (which i ripped apart as soon as i got home... :O) and a lovely spool of creamy lace. (p.s. excuse the somewhat nasty looking girl there...i was at volleyball all day :))

the gray fabric for the flowers is *SPOILER* the fabric that i'm using to make my skirt for the wedding...hehe! so, i just kinda whipped this one up and took some pictures...i always kinda forget to take the pictures WHILE i'm making it, so mostly all i have are finished projects...oops! so, i am afraid of commitment, i know that seems random but i just couldn't SEW or GLUE this baby to the headband so as you see in the pictures, i used sticky velcro (bless the soul that invented it!) so now if i ever want to change what's on top, i CAN! yes! i'm so cool...sorry. by the way: did i mention that except for the band, band, this is a no-sew project? hehe! i'm addicted to hot glue! haha!...no seriously. okay, well, tootles!

Secret Sister pillow

For girls camp, we do secret sisters and I decided I wanted to make a pillow for mine. I searched "cute pillows" in google (my bestest bud in the whole wide world) and I found one that looked cute. I didn't want to buy a pillow form so I sewed my own with some fabric that we had laying around (there's more where that came from!).

 Then, I measured my pillow cover based on that. I cut out some circles from extra fabric (toldja there's more! :)) and then pinned them on. I just sewed a straight line vertically through the circles. Pinned some more, sewed around the edges of the three pieces (the back has two over-lapping pieces for the pillow for to go in) and that was that! Easy as pie! :)
