What I do in my (not so) spare time..

Once upon a time, I actually used to be pretty crafty. Over the years, all of the kids have taken away my free time, and I pretty much used the excuse of being too busy to make anything. I would just pay other people to make all of the cute, crafty stuff. However, being a family of 6 with a dad that is in college I no longer have the luxury of paying other people to make things like this. Now I have to find time to make things myself if I want them...so, here they are. My first attempts at some bows and flowers for the girls hair. I think they turned out pretty cute, and were incredibly CHEAP to make:)





This one is my favorite so far-
Kendal has been wearing her valentine bow, and I obviously need to make hers a little stronger to withstand a 2 year old constantly pulling and messing with it!







I have a few other cute bows I want to try out. I'll post them once I get them made (assuming they look half-way decent:)

They turned out so cute! I am impressed that you found time to make them... working, four kids and everything else you do. Let's get together before we move.

How cute, but I don't think they'd go over too well at my house :)
