Showing you Mine

I'm tagging along to Jeanne Oliver's "I'll show you mine, if you show me yours..". This week is my Purse! This is actually not as full as it usually is! There is usually a ton of stuff in there....the lighting is pretty bad because it is cloudy this morning!

1. A Hat...I always have a hat in there.

I have crazy hair, especially when it gets a little humid here.

2. Epi Pen: Deathly allergic to Bee's and Cinnamon

3. Receipts and Handiwipes

4. Makeup pouch...filled with lip gloss and more lip gloss

5. Notebook

6. A little purchase from an Antique shop

7. Mail...always a random piece or two of mail

8. A scarf...never know when I will need to dress up an outfit.

9.  Roses balm...love this stuff. Especially for my fingers...

10. More Lip gloss

11. Vintage Cigar case that I use to conceal my tampons!

12. My Wallet. I love it, orange leather. It's my favorite...

As Jeanne mentioned in her post, I also love random info about people! It's fun!

Now, to be truthful...there are usually more snacks, sunglasses (a few pairs...girl needs options) a random piece junk, My Phone (used to take the picture), ear buds, and my keys are never in my purse!

Tuesday Tute: Bows

Even though Mother Nature is sooooo confused around these parts lately, one day it is FREEZING cold and the next it is BEAUTIFUL and sunny...really doesn't seem to be any middle ground!  It is time update our wardrobes!

Way back in the day, when the Lil' was a baby, I made hair accessories and cute little boutique outfits for her. I LOVED it! It was really fun to accessorize and "decorate" her cute little noggin... Since I have just purchased a few new outfits for the little cutie it is time to make some coordinating hair bows! Seems that I barely have time to shower every day (shhhh...please don't tell anyone...) much less create my own tutorial!  And really, there are some great ones out there...thanks Pinterest for helping me find them! 

I found these two tutorials on how to make bows that seemed pretty easy to follow. I will say that I did sew the bows I made for Lil', I liked them better than the glued ones...now that I am usually creating a hair accessory for her as she is waiting to get on the bus, I have become a fan of the glue gun! I can rip apart a flower and glue it to a headband faster than anyone I know! ....

These are a two different techniques...give them a try! If your little one doesn't like a barrette as much, take the tutorial to a new level. Get yourself a pack of headbands and glue the bow to the headband! I do this ALL the time!

Check out this one...but, please....finish the edges of the bows off! Either cut them at an angle or in a V. Grab a match and lightly burn the ends. Then you wont get that frayed look!

The one below is great for doing a hand sewn bow. They hold up REALLY well!

Go Forth and make something cute! XOXO!

Monday: Photo Insta.Recap

It's a rainy Monday...great day to sleep, difficult day to get motivated!

Lil' and Izzy...Izzy looks a wee bit terrified! 

I tried my hand at making a ring...I was pretty happy about it! Working on new skills!

Hard day on the ball field! The worst of the season for her...and not because of her pitching!

There was a house across the street for a few days...drove my pups crazy!

Last hanshake of the season.... Sad day for my baby girl. #10 is a Senior, and my girl only a Sophmore! LOVED the way the two of them played together and loved the way #10 kept my girl going even in the toughest of matchups!

Playoff Game. They didn't advance and the opposing team left some pretty nasty press for my girl. Haters....

Cleats are even cleaned off yet and she is practicing for her fall sport.

Happy Mothers Day....on the side of a ball field!
