Gettin' Crafty

You all know I love to make a good holiday wreath but this week I focused my crafting in another direction. I spent Thursday working on this little gem, a cute ruffle headband, one for me and one for N. I got the idea from a blog I visit and rather than drop some cash on her etsy site I decided to give it a whirl myself. Just needed a bit of ivory ribbon, some silk and some tulle combined that with my awesome sewing skills and voila! Headband! I also got enough to make a belt too. I rocked the headband already this week and while at my new favorite store in DSM, Back Country Outfitters, I was told that I needed to sell them :)

I also got to spend Friday with the mom and my aunt, which was a much needed day. We hit up West End Architectural Salvage (my other fave DSM store) where I picked up a wire and clothespin frame to be used for an inspiration board in my room, or to hold Christmas cards and I also nabbed some cute rusty stars that I just added some polka dot ribbon to and made them into ornaments for N, Naomi and I. What can I say, I just want it to be Christmas already!!
