One of my friends from work just found out that she may deliver her baby girl a littler early than expecting. She likes the headbands I made for my niece and I was planning on crocheting some for her. My nieces were just a tad too big for a newborn, so I made these a little smaller. They are stretchy so they will work for her for a little while. I plan to make her a few more in a larger size, since babies grow so fast…

Beautiful Baby Headbands

The top head band I crocheted with lavender baby yarn. Each row had 3 half double stitches and chain 3 on the end. I added a purple and hot pink ribbon flower.

The middle headband was crocheted with a light blue baby yarn. I used 2 double stitches per row and a chain on the end. I adorned it with a 8 petal ribbon flower.

The third headband was made with the lavender baby yarn. I crocheted one half double stitch per row with a chain 3 on the end. It is embellished with a flower made of purple ribbon with white polka dots.

What are you crafting now?

Feathered Headband – A Faux Fascinator

The past few days I showed you the dress I made for the wedding in NC and the faux fur capelet. We’re driving as I post this.

I was going to create a fascinator for my hair. They’re perfect for emphasizing an updo or jazzing up down hair. I found a few tutorials and began to gather supplies; black hair comb – check, silver flower – check, sparkly glitter – check, hot glue gun – check, black fluffy feathers – nada, zilch, nunca, zero. I looked at four different stores for nice black feathers, the best I could find weren’t even worth using in another craft. This craft project turned into a bust!

I had to resort to purchasing a hair accessory. I was actually pleasantly surprised with this cute feathered headband I found on sale. I do plan to make my own fascinators soon in the future, it’s just a matter of finding the right feathers. Hubster joked with me, “Are you going to start making your own pantyhose too?” No, I am not… nor any of my undergarments or shoes…

Inner Jewelry Maker Returns
During undergrad, I made scarfs, hats, purses, ear-warmers for gifts for my family and friends. I eventually sold my crafts to my friends (to use as gifts) and then eventually to other students after much persuading (them persuading, not me). Just before winter holiday was a busy time, I would crochet while studying. One year later, after making jewelry for a play, several friends asked me to make them similar earrings, bracelets and necklaces and that was surprisingly where the profit was. Which totally made sense! After all,  I was an earring queen: I always had a different pair for each outfit, colorful, funky, classic, chic, I had all my bases covered. I liked to make new ones to match my outfits, because I could never find the pairs that were just right at the store. After graduating it was a few years later until I made earrings for my bridal party. I’ve been itching to start my earring making again, so I made a stop at a craft store and restocked a few jewelry making essentials. I had so much fun, I made 20 pairs the first day! I think I’ll set some up during our community yard & craft sale and see how they do…
