Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July I borrowed the star idea from Its a girl Thing. Instead if using ribbon I tried the red, white and blue ponies. I made the hairbow acouple of months ago, not thinking about how I would do the girls hair. I think it all came together pretty well. I should have taken more pictures. Monkey

Ice plants

I planted these ice plants in my front yard last spring. They are so pretty. The ice plant is a drought resistant ground cover. It spreads quickly and is very hardy. I have also seen them in yellow.

New conrainer for ponytails

I have found the greatest container to hold the girls ponytail holders. I have been looking for a while now and finally I have it. I tried using an embrordery thead holder, it works pretty well until it would gets knocked off the counter. Then all of the colors mixed together again. Also little hand think that it is so fun to play with all the pretty colors.

Now I have a Craft Mates Locking Caddy. It has seperates, each with a locking lid, so that I can open only the color that I need. If the container falls off the counter everything stays sorted.

I love it.

I also found these Lock-ups container for my extra ponytail holders

Easter Bows

I used to sew the girls Easter dresses but right no I have no sewing Machine. I found these cute dresses a Costco, Laura Ashley dresses. I made bows to match the dresses and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Monkey and Princess are adorable in their Easter outfits. Little Man got his first tie and Dad got a matching one.

Home Decor

Bruce and I have lived in this home for almost two years. Two months ago we put our first picture on the wall. I know, silly huh? We should have decorated along time ago, the problem is that I'm not very good at decorating. This is why I'm so excited about what I have worked on the last few days. I found theses frames at Target. Then I printed photos from my computer, using black ink only, onto photo paper. I cut out vinyl letters using Robins cricut, that say Families can be together forever. Hurray for me!!

I am so motivated right now that Bruce better watch out. I have already looked at paint chips, and started a new project.

Braids

This was Princess's hair do for church last Sunday.

She is such a cutie.

I sectioned the hair into six sections, then french braided each section.

I continued braiding to the ends of the hair and put ponytails in each one. So what I had was six braids. I took the three braids on each side and braided them together. Then I pulled the two braid together and put in a clear ponytail. After the ponytail was secure I removed the other six. Then I curled the rest of the hair with my hair straightener.

You can then add a bow or pretty clips.
