All tied up

So, what have we been up to lately (since it obviously hasn't been blogging)? Well a few weekends ago we had our multi-generational family garage sale. Here is what that looked like:

And this last weekend I went to a community fair in Jackson, GA with my mom, grandma, and kiddos. The one thing that I saw that I really liked were hairbows for Clara, but man were they spendy. And being as crafty as I am, I said to myself, "Self, you could make bows for Clara at a fraction of the cost" and after spending about 3x what a bow costs on supplies I've managed to make this:

But on the bright side I have tons of left over materials and will be able to make many more; both for Clara and possibly to sell at the next consignment sale I participate in.

Mom painted my hallway for me during the garage sale...we sort of hid out in the house while Dad and Grandma worked the crowd... the painting (and the kids) gave us a nice excuse to stay inside.  And speaking of kids, they are still doing great.  Growing, playing, laughing and learning.  I may be going crazy trying to keep up with them, but we are having a fun trip to the nut house.
