Addicted

The past few days I've been getting into my other hobby - sewing/crafting. You see, Alexis's head is getting bigger, and therefore a lot of headbands don't fit her anymore. They are tight and I feel bad for putting them on her because they leave quite the imprint on her head. She only has 4 that fit her now. And they are peach, blue, white and pink with a flower permanently attached to it. I have no idea why I bought a blue headband last year. She only has one outfit that is blue that the headband can go with. And peach? Again, only a couple outfits that match it. I don't know what I was thinking.

Either way, I have been having fun making flowers and headbands. I have a pinterest board for girly stuff (flowers, headbands, skirts, leggings, etc.) that I started forever ago in hopes that one day I would have a girl. I've tapped into that now and I'm having so much fun making headbands and flowers for her and trying the things on pinterest.

Here's what I've made so far. (P.S. I didn't buy anything, I had all this stuff on hand in my craft boxes which makes this even better.)

I know, this is blue, but I made it out of Clint's old shirts he was going to throw away. It turned out way cute. And it's the perfect material so it won't fray.

I just need to buy clips for these. I love the big red one. I'm going to be making more of those. 

 Can you tell by this point Alexis was pretty bugged at me taking on and off the headbands. She was sick of it.

By the way, these ribbon headbands I used a stretchy rubber band type hair thing so that way they stretch over her head and will grow with her for a while. Pretty cool! Again, thanks pinterest and all those crafty bloggers out there that share their ideas.

And the last one.  I think I'm addicted to making things for her. I have my sewing machine out and all my material and craft stuff and the glue gun, and it's staying out for a few days. It's kind of a mess, but oh well. It's fun.  I'm going to try making leggings for her. Her legs are so chunky that the 6-9 month leggings are getting a little snug width wise, but they are perfect for the length. Actually, they are slightly longish. So we'll see how that goes.

 Plus, she is getting to the grabbing phase where she grabs at everything, and she grabs at her headbands. I want her to be used to wearing headbands, so she will be wearing one every day from now on so she's used to it. I want her to always wear them. I love them! Plus, the headbands I made don't leave an imprint on her head, so I feel like I can have her wear them all the time.
