Tutu's and Hair Thingie's


Here's the picture of the tutu. I worked on it all night and Ev was so excited to try it out that she's wearing it with her pajamas. And I found this big bag of flowers at Wal-Mart for 50 cents and decided to make, you guessed it, more hair things.
So, I've been slowly becoming obsessed with this bow-making website. The link on my page hasn't been working right but it shows you how to make girls bows and they are free! So, if you've ever bought bows at a boutique or shop they are expensive! So, I have been obessed with making bows.


And I also saw a thing online about making these tutu's. They are super easy. And you guessed it, CHEAP. You just take a yard of two different colors of tulle and cut them into 2-3 inch strips. Then you sew together a thin bit of elastic for the waist. I used a 1/4 in. elastic and measured it around Evie's waist and sewed it together. Then you tie the strips of colored tulle in an alternating fashion. Then I went even further and glued some rhinestones on the end. I'm telling you. I feel like I've lost it.

I also colored my hair. I'll post pictures and you'll have to tell me what color you like better.

Busy Week!

We have had a busy week so far and it isn't even over! Keith came to visit on Sunday and stayed until Tuesday afternoon. He was on his way to Mexico. It was great to see him. Also on Tuesday Ethan started his first official day of school! I can't believe it. It's great. He loves school and as you can imagine, if you know Ethan at all, you will pity the teacher because Ethan loves to talk! He hasn't gotten a pink slip yet so he must mind himself. Thirdly, Ethan's birthday was yesterday and we are having a pirate party tonight! I can't wait. I love parties! I love planning them. I just wish that we were able to afford them more often! I'll post pictures of the party later. But here's pictures of Ethan's first day of school and Uncle Keith.
