Spring and the Flowers She Brings.....

The sun was out for about 4 hours today, with me and my youngest soaking up as much as we can. It has been so rainy here in Salem, I just about grew fins. I went to the craft store and found these amazing Gerbera Daisies that, when I got home, I deheaded ALL OF THEM! :-) Besides feeling better, I created these gorgeous headbands!!

I put a GINORMOUS rhinestone in the center instead of the ugly velvet thingy, and it is sooo stunning! I tried it on Sawyer, well, he took it off immediately, but I got the point! SO EXCITED!! As soon as I get some girls over here (HELLO FRIENDS WITH GIRLDS) I am photographing them and taking my pieces to Etsy.

I used some Alligator Clips, Single Prong steel barrettes, all cotton (so soft for babies) and leather headbands for the Gerbera Daisies. I also used the wool felt flowers for the leather creating some cool stuff for next fall. I have put away all the burgundy, dark green, and other fall colors for next year. I need pastels, bright fuschia, turquiose, and yellow! 

The headbands are only 7$, I am VERY proud of the price because these are up to 16$ online. Serious?? I would never pay that, so I would never charge that much.. 

I am posting pics soon, my mother board crashed on my laptop ($733 to repair, no thanks), so my hubby is sweetly letting me borrow his. The pics will not do them justice alone, so I might have Sawyer model them!!  

HAPPY ALMOST SPRING!!!
