Back In The Saddle....

The crafty saddle that is. I felt half decent yesterday (hurray!!) so instead of doing the right thing, cleaning, I got my craft on. It felt so good to do something creative again.

Aubrey has been asking for a headband for a while, something I find quite hilarious because she absolutely hates having things in her hair. But I thought, what the hey, might as well make her one and see if she actually keeps it in.

Well she actually does and has not taken the head band off but to sleep since I made it, victory!

I used elastic lace for the headband part and made a simple yo-yo flower with a fabric covered button to hide the seem I had sewn. Aubrey picked the fabric(or fagric as she calls it) and loved that I involved her! The elastic lace makes it super comfortable to wear, I'm assuming that's why she actually keeps it on:)

As usual the photo shoot got a little crazy....

I'm just thankful that she was cooperative this time, better than her usual hide-my-head-behind-something-until-I-know-the-camera's-put-away. I'll take it!

{side note, I'm pretty sure the owner of this house planted weeds instead of grass, because there is nothing but weeds in the back yard. Just turn a blind eye 'mkay? Or even better yet, pretend they are lovely flowers that I lovingly planted...thanks}

ummm yeah. She's my daughter through and through :)

And this morning she thought she was extra cool and put the headband on herself. She wont let me do it, so this is going to be her cool look for the day. Awesome.

The rats-nest, I mean back view.

And to further prove that my child's a genius (no, I'm not biased at all)....

She's working on her letters....by herself. She's all self motivated 'n stuff, so not from me--that would be Zach. But seriously, she's writing her name already. She gets the letters all out of order when she does it on her own, but when she has reference point to work from? She nails it!
