Flower Headbands

So I'm in Target the other day and I was in the hair accessories section.  I saw some really cute flower headbands and thought, "I should get one of these" until I looked at the price.  They wanted $6.50 each for them.  So I bought a 4-pack of plastic headbands for $3.00 and got to work that night. I have only made two so far but I have two more headbands screaming my name.  I'll take step-by-step pictures when I do the next two but as for now, these pics are all I got.

First I wrapped the band in ribbon using a dot of hot glue every so often to help it stay on and stay tight.

Then I made the flowers out of fabric scraps I had laying around.  

For the white flower I just layered different sized flower cut-outs on top of each other and glued as I went.  I think it turned out cute but it looks a bit stand-outish in my hair.  It might look better on someone with blond or red hair.

The brown ones I just twisted fabric into little rosettes and glued as I went.  That one is my favorite...I think it turned out the cutest!  I'm still trying to come up with some ideas on what to do with the other two headbands...any ideas?

Taggie blankets and animals

I'm finally out of my crafting/sewing slump and I'm ready to share what I've been working on.  Since there are three of us in my family pregnant right now I've been doing a lot of baby stuff.  I made these taggie blankets and little taggie elephants to go with.  I just made up the blanket pattern but I used this pattern from Homemade by Jill for the elephant.  I think they turned out SOOO cute!  And the best part is that you can hang them from the carseat or attach them to the taggie blanket because they have that nice tag on the top.

I make my taggie blankets small so they're easy to stuff in a purse or diaper bag without taking up too much space.  We all know there are way too many things we have to carry anyway!
