Flower Accessories

I've been wanting to get this started since the beginning of this winter. 


I learned how to make my own flower pins, hair clips, and headbands, and love making them!! It's a fun little hobby, and I figured since its something I really like to do, why not try and sell a few and make a couple bucks. :)


They make really awesome, fun gifts to give to your girlfriends, your sisters, mothers, daughters, and yourself.(You're allowed to do that occasionally, right? Right.) They are a fun accessory to dress up and add character to any outfit, or hairdo.


I can't wait to use them on my Baby Girl (only 4 weeks until she's born. EXCITEMENT!!) 


Here are pictures of a few things I have made right now: I had to use myself as a model for some of these, I'll have a much cuter model to use once Baby is born:)




White Flower Clip
                                                                                            
                                                     White Flower Headband

Yellow Flower Headband


Twisted Yellow Flower Headband (made from a cotton fabric)




These two are 'mini' flowers. They would be perfect in a baby's hair. The clip is covered with a soft velvet, easy to put in and out of soft baby hair.
The headbands are made out of soft, stretchy elastic. They are kind of a "one size for all". For adults, little kids, and babies. Approx. 15"





Just a sample of the sizes, colors, and styles I have on hand right now.
Showing what I can make, any size, color, and/or style with a pin, clip, or headband.

This white flower clip is my favorite one. Its a mini, and is on a clip covered with brown ribbon.


One last option.. a soft velvety clip. Perfect for clipping back your own bangs, or your Little Ones' sprouty hairs. I made a green one, I also have bright pink, and soft lavender colors on hand.

I apologize, this was quite a picture-y post!
But just so you know what I make. And also, if you like a certain style or color that I haven't put together you can most certainly request whatever it is you like.  You can also request any size flower...mini, regular, and I don't have a picture of one, but I can make them over-sized.

I also have black fabric on hand, just didn't have any made at the time to post a picture.

I will update again when I make more varieties, so keep checking back!


Prices are:

Headbands $6

Hair Clips and Flower Pins $5

Mini Flowers Clips or Pins $3

Plain Velvet Clips $1.50 or set of 3 for $3


*No worries if you live in another state, I'm more than happy to ship an item to you.

Just Feel The Need

Yes, I just feel the need to type some things out, before I become a sloppy mess of too many thoughts and emotions running through me.

First of all I just wanna sing my praises to my AWESOME GOD!! In Him I know I can trust, and I know He will take care of all of my concerns and worries. Because He is true and just, and full of LOVE and GRACE! Under His wings I rest, I don't need to stress and fear...I just needed to PROCLAIM that in Jesus' name. 

I'm learning that proclaiming things in Jesus' name is such a powerful thing. As His children we have the authority to do such things. Because He LOVES us, and He wants us to be free in Him, and He wants to move in us and take us to places and wants us to experience freedoms we have never ever dreamed of experiencing and going to before. Cause He is just that awesome. 

A wonderful girl from my church sent me this text this morning: "You will not need  to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you. Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go against them, for the Lord is with you. 2 Chronicles 20:17

Absolutely beautiful. I love how God gives us just what we need when we need it. 

ANYWAY: Onto a few other happenings in my life.. this afternoon is the "Big" Dr. appointment. We will find out of my precious little baby girl has turned herself into the proper position. Since last Thursday things have been feeling a lot different. And oh my word was she ever active over the weekend. Squirming and kicking and pushing...Then on Sunday I felt a little bulge on my right side that I could push in and down, and I'm about positive it was her little tush!! Which is a very good thing :) This morning though, when I woke up I could feel a hard little ball at the top of my stomach that unfortunately felt like her little head again...BUT, I could be wrong. We shall see! 

I'm still resting in knowing that God has it all under control. He knows the desires of my heart, but He also knows the best way for her to be born. And He has a plan, He doesn't ever just leave things to chance, and whatever happens, happens. No, He is so much greater than that. His ways are higher than my ways. 

I'm just so ready to have my baby girl here. I'm nearing the end of this pregnancy, and I can just feel it. The time is coming. And Oh man do I ever feel emotional! I could just burst into tears here and now, but the sun is shining outside so I don't want to be sad. I choose to be happy, happy happy!!! Haha 

Yesterday my  Mom came over and painted this  mural on the wall in the babys' room..she did such a super amazing job! It's not completely finished yet, all it needs is little 'ribbons' hanging off of the branch with each letter of her name hanging from the ribbon. We are keeping the name a secret so that is going to have to wait to be done until after she is born. Here are some pixures:

She drew and cut out this stencil




Ta-da!! (isn't she just a beautiful woman??)

The almost finished project :) I LOVE how it turned out. I will definitely be posting pictures of the finished room. We are still waiting on the crib and changing table to be painted, and Mom is going to help me make the crib bedding.(which mostly means Mom is making the crib bedding for me) :) hehe Love you Mom, you truly are the greatest!!

Hope you all have a super day!

Check out this video of Kim Walker performing How He Loves. Powerful song, I get chills everytime I hear it.

Baby

This morning I went to the Dr. for a routine check- up on my Baby Girl. She's doing great, her heartbeat sounds good, she's measuring on chart. The only thing is the little Bean is sitting straight UP! I knew for sure she was breech two weeks ago when I was at the Dr.s office. In the past two weeks we've been talking to her, telling her the time is here for her to have her head down, so she can make her grand entrance into the world through natural birth. But must be she is stubborn. :) Or just plain old comfy right where she's at. Or maybe there is another reason, possibly she can't turn. Who knows? All I know is that its all in God's hands. I'm not giving up on the possibility of her turning. Trust me I'm gonna be getting in the "downward dog" position for a half hour every day (yes, it does look funny!!) But I just have a peace about everything. The thought of maybe having to have a C- Section doesn't scare me. I'm resting in knowing that God knows in which way she's going to be born into this world, He won't be surprised by a c- section..He already knew before she was even conceived. Either way....the day she is born is going to be the most amazing day of my life!! I'm excited. 


I took some pictures this afternoon of my belly..Wow that thing is sticking way out there!! 


34 Weeks today








I already love the little munchkin...can't wait to experience the feeling when I get to hold her in my arms. It's gonna blow me away for sure!

Ooh I found the coolest diaper bag ever..I'm totally ordering it this weekend when I have some extra cash...

 
Eek! It excites me! It's green, and the interior lining is pretty sweet too.
Anyway...I should go and take my neglected little dog on a walk on this gorgeous sunny, southern day.
Have a great one!!
