Blast 15 :: More barrettes...just 'cause

3am barrettes to be exact. So quick, so easy and so cute on certain soon-to-be threes...

By the way, posting at 3am Friday morning (although you want it to be Thursday's post....) shows up as a Friday post (as I suppose it should...)
So, my new strategy? Make a backup craft earlier in the day, every day, for those just in case moments when you are busy doing this...

that you get home so late and wiped out that you literally crash out 'til 3 am.

Note: The barrettes are a 6 inch piece of ribbon folded over and over and glue gunned into place.
Time:: approx. 20 minutes (those folds were extra tricky!).

Blast 11 :: do dads..hair thingies... barrettes! (and a winner!)

And,  as you can see, (or not) my camera battery charger is still MIA ..I think we are at the point of ordering a new one. Any day now, please..please...pretty please?
 
Last night was another one of those nursing the wee one, getting cozy and so very (yyaawwwnnn!) sleepy. So there I was again, 1:30 am this time (I think I have a biological clock for this kind of thing) and not a craft to be done. There was a quick urge to sew (yes! I have one machine working now) but, it being such a late (or early) hour...I thought it best to wait on that impulse.

I stumbled into the studio (literally, since the doorway was/is blocked with crafty goodness) and found ....barrettes. So simple....so lovely and perfect for birthdays coming around the corner. The basic barrettes came from here  and I used my handy glue gun to adhere some of this fun and super cute Kokka linen ribbon to (also from Etsy).

Viola! 15 minutes from the stumble to completion - and back to bed.

P.S. I will try to post how long each blast takes to complete so folks can block off time for something they may be interested in :)

and PPSS?

Our Winner of course!

Who would be.... Marisa!!
What a great challenge you are putting yourself upto.... I have a plethora of girls (ok, 3)who would look lovely in a crown. :)

Thanks so much for playing along Marisa! Hope one of your girls (or all!) will enjoy this! My wee one (well, she's almost 3 and not the wee-est one...) drew your name :)

Shoot me a message at writeus4@yahoo.com with your address and I will send this out this week :)


I hope everyone plays along again this Saturday for another drawing!
xoxo

(Charger now found...hallelujah!)
