 Here it is, the last part of the diy hair comb series. Quite a journey eh? We went all across the diy board. From wire wrapped crystals to neon nylon cording to feathers. Even though this is the last post of this series, I assure you that hair combs are here to stay... at least on this noggin anyway. Embellished hair combs have always been in my fashion repertoire and always will be. So I thought it would be fun to share two hair combs of the past. One from my bridal shower and the other fr...
I say hair you say comb.
Hair!

Hair Comb?
Yes, a hair comb. It you are just joining us we are in the middle of our hair accessory craft challenge. By we I mean me, and by challenge I mean FUN! Last week I gave myself a craft homework assignment. Create some cute and easy diy hair combs. Everyone does headbands or bobby pins, I thought we could mix it up a bit with the hair comb. All of my versions are easy to make and are complied of average everyday craft supplies. Something yo...
Ready for parts three and four of my mini series? Three is so incredibly easy (but so cute!) it hurts and four is a tad more complicated. (Did you check out version one and two yet? Complicated if you don't have any hands. What is that you say? You don't have hands? And you are a crafter! Wowza!! You could probably teach me a thing or two. Give me a jingle on the jangle k? Here we go!    The key to this diy is the sparkly vinyl. I just love that stuff! I have used it here... and here. You can find ...
I gave myself a mini craft challenge this weekend. A little homework per say. I find that if I get a bogged down with stress or life and I just can't get those creative juices a flowin.. I buckle down and step it up (oh boy...how many cliche sayings did I just fit into that statement???). Any whoser, just like how actors and singers have voice warm ups, we crafters have warm ups too. This was a great mini warm up, as now my creative muscles are are loose and limber. Ready to tackle a few ...

I love scarves and wear them any chance I can. As soon as there is the slightest crisp to the air I am wrapping that sucker around my neck. Here is my dilemma. I have long hair and if I wear a scarf, especially if it is a chunky knit, my hair soon turns into a tangled mess. Right there at the nape of my neck should be call 'rat-ville' for the nest that is created. Ouch!
So
what to do? A sleek little top knot or messy ballerina bun is my go-to.
But that can get a little boring, so here is a...

 This was a favorite at our Halloween Party. It was set up at our 'adult' drink table. Beergaritas was our drink of choice. (Our tweaked recipe to follow! Yummy for sure). This DIY is really simple and more of an idea & inspiration for your own Halloween DIYs. Supplies: Piece of unfinished wood, orange craft paint, black puff paint, polyurethane, rag or paint brush, pencil and bowl Steps: 1. Start with an unfinished and clean piece of wood. Mine is about 12" x 24" and 2" thick. A nice solid chunk...

 So this DIY really falls more under the 'refashion' category, which is co' cuz sometimes you just want to give what you already own a little sprucing up!
I recently picked up this scarf because I really dug the busy fall print. It is huge! Which I love. Who cares what your outfit looks like when you have on a fabulous blanket? Wait, I meant scarf. I mean can you even see my baby spit up shirt under here?! No!
The scarf is fine just the way it is, but what girl doesn't want more bli...

Found myself longing for fall this week. Fall is fabulous don't you think? The weather is just lovely. You can wear coats, scarves, sweaters, boots, leggings and knit caps. Who doesn't love a great pair of boots over leggings with a cozy sweater and scarf?! There are also so many great fall activities like apple picking, pumpkin carving and baking. Not to mention the decorating... oh the decorating! Halloween and Thanksgiving are such fun holidays to decorate for. I already have a huge runnin...

Have some summer fun with a triple bun! I whip up this hair style when I am feeling a little frisky... really boosts the mood! Little kids always ask me about this hairstyle and how it is done... maybe it is the Dr. Seuss-ian quality. It is really simple and fun... that is what hair is all about, fun! Continue reading ...

Felt like playing dress up and doing my toddler's hair this morning. These pics are the result of said playtime. While this was just for fun, I really do always find myself using these hairstyles on Lou. Simple and quick. Quick enough for a squirmy toddler. Enjoy! Supplies: Lots of little elastics, Lots of clippies, a good brush, a couple of headbands and lots of patience.  Ahhh! This is how the princess makes her appearance in the morning. Two little frown lines and one messy head of hair. Wha...

Yoyo flowers have been around for ages and I have always been curious as to how they are made. I have heard that they are simple enough... they have to be right?! Have you seen those yoyo quilts that are covered with them! For this tutorial I made yoyo flower hair pins. I have seen similar ones at Anthropologie (my absolute favorite store EVER.. if I could live there I would :) ) If you find a stash of pre-made yoyos please skip ahead! Hope you enjoy!  *What you will need: Fabric (I prefe...
