No Heat Loose Curls

Here is another way I tired with no heat curls. 



I am not to sure about this one. I did not like the 
way it felt around my neck all night long. I had 
strange dreams and did not sleep well. 

Here is what it looked like before I went to bed. 

Here is what it looked like after I got up in the morning. 
Sorry it is blurry. I did not look to see how it turned out. 
Can't concentrate that well that early.
It stayed in really well. 

As I was taking it out. It did not give me much curl. It was more 
of a wave. Either I did not put enough water on it or well my
hair is not as long as hers. 

I do like the wave it gave me.

Link to video I got it from:

2 Minute NO HEAT Loose Curls 


If you try this or any of the others one I post about. I would love 
to hear about it. Well I am off to crochet a wall clock for 
my kitchen. I will post about it when I am all done.

Shooting Star with Flower

Shooting Star with Flower

This is a look I came up with. 
My hubby loves the look when I put braids 
in and then take them out. Tonight is date night. 
So last night I sat down and watched tv and braided
away. I wanted to do a little something different. 
So I put part of it up in a bun and some sides up. 
All I had was kiddy clips to hold it. So I put 
a pretty flower in, that I made. 

So here is what I do. 
Out a bunch of braids in. I had 15 this time. 

I then hold them back with a clip when I am up. At night
I like to braid them together. They do fall out but it holds
it back for a bit. 


Here is the look when they come out. This time 
I put a bun in half of it. Pulled up a bit from the sides
and put a clip in. I only had little kids clips. So I put a 
flower clip in and love this look.


This was my first time doing this one. Hubby came up with the name 
for this style. 

TGIF!!!

Braid-Wrapped Chignon

Oh I really like this one too. It was not to hard to do. 
My hair is so long I had to wrap in under and then out the middle 
and then back up again. 
Here is what mine looks like.

 I need a bit of practice. 
But for the first time I am happy with it.
Sorry for the picture. My hubby is sleeping and this is the best
I could do right know. I will have to have him get a better one 
when he gets up. 

Here is the link to where I got this idea

Elegant Updo

Elegant Updo

My friends bridal/bachelorette party was this last weekend. 
I wanted to do something cute and different for her 
party. So off to youtube I went. I found this really cute 
updo. 


I added a cute flower I had at home. I had used it in 
some photos we took with one of our little ones. 
I just took it apart and made myself a barrette.

Sock Bun Curls

Sock Bun Curls

I can not seem to find the orginal one I found a long
time ago. So I use this one for how to put the bun on.


Last night I use two buns. I put one on the top of my head and 
then one on the bottom. I think next time I will do one on each side.  
 

Here is how it looked this morning. I forgot to use my 
gel to keep curls in. 
Catwalk - Off the top of my head I can't remember where I got it

It is 10am and humid out. So you can 
guess what happened to it already. 

 

So I decided to do the video today and I will wear it all day
and sleep in it tonight.


 

 I think it is really cute. I did use a few bobby pins to keep it in place a bit.

I took it out tonight. I decided to try something new tomorrow.
But here is what it looks like right know. I am in love with it.
I love side ponytails.

Brownie waffles

Yesterday at my friends Bridal Shower. She got a waffle maker and we all
started to talk about recipes. Someone mentions brownies in the waffle. 
I thought what a great fun idea to do with the kids. 

Brownie waffles
I just used a box of brownies this time. Next time I want to 
make homemade brownies. 

My girls thought it was so fun and cool to make brownies in 
the waffle maker. They asked if we could make them in the 
morning for breakfast. 

I thought we could even make some frosting and make 
brownie waffle sandwiches. 

I need to look around and see if there are some other kinds
of different recipes to use with waffle maker.

Use aluminum foil to sharpen dull scissors!

My scissors I use for all my creations was getting dull. I 
saw this on pinterest. 


So I decided to give it a try. 
All you have to do is fold aluminum fold 
several times.


 Then start cutting away


As I went along after many cuts. 
 I started to notice a difference. 


Then I went on to just have a bit of fun. 

I went and got some scrap yarn and tested it out. 
I was very surprised at the difference.  


So if you have a pair of scissors that dull. 
Get out the aluminum foil, fold it up and
start to cut away. 
 
Thank you Pinterest and This Old House!

Tutu Dress

I saw a picture a while ago of a crocheted top with tulle attached. I thought I could do that and how cute is that. I went looking around for a good top to use. But just could not find one I really liked. So I made up my own pattern. 


First I worked on the top.
I just came up with a simple tub top look. 


I added some loops to add the tulle to. Then I went
on to cover that part up. 




I added a slip stitch around the edging. I really like the 
look it brings out. 

Here is the top part with out the straps added.


Since this is my first time and did not think about it. 
I did not add in a special element from 
stretching out. So next time I will remember to
add that in. 


The tulle was then added. I just used one layer 
of tulle for this one. My next one I want 
to add two layers for a fuller effect.

I just rolled some tulle up to make a flower on the side. 

This was her first time wearing it. So the tulle was a bit to long. 
So she sat down and let me get some pictures of her 
in it. 

I love coming up with my own patterns. My next one I have a few 
other idea's I would like to do. So keep your eye
our for another Tutu dress coming up.

Tuxedo Set

First is just started out as making the top hat. I was making it for a friend.She is a photographer and needed some boy props. So in exchange for me making her this cute set and a couple of others. (Which I will have up soon too.) She then took our family photos and a few others.



Come and take a look at her site: Tweedle Dee Photography


So as I said before it started out as just a Top Hat to do.
 I also offered a bow tie. So thought how cute
would that be together.
 Well my imagination went on more. 
So I did a diaper cover and......
 ..... tie. In the end this is what I ended up with. 
A cute Tuxedo set. I am know wanting to do booties too. 
But I am on the look for the right style to go
with this cute set. 
 What I like is there is more then one way she 
can use the set.




 For the tie I could not find a pattern.
So I just looked at a picture of a tie
and made up a pattern for it. 
 This bow tie is a knitted and the thing around
the neck is just an added piece I made. 
With both the tie and bow tie. You can take that
off and put a paper clip onto it and attach it 
to a shirt.
