As my last post stated, I had been having a bad week...Well I have been checking facebook quite regularly the last week and a half or so, though not for my normal gossip. A lady out at my church (mother of two boys herself) and her family had set out about two years ago to adopt a little girl from China. She had felt called and after much prayer they were able to start making the preparations. Well this month she and her husband left to go meet their daughter and bring her home. She was two in Feb and just a doll! So precious! I have been itching to make her something. And I thought I would try my hand at the cute little fabric hair barrettes that look like flowers...YES! I know...make a hair bow. But I rationalize it, it is not really a hair bow with the traditional ribbon. I was sooo set on this I even thought I might do a few and make her a couple shirts to match that had something cute appliqued. The thoughts of a new project got me excited and looking forward to being creative.
I picked fabrics out and buttons and then I got to thinking about the actual process of making this hair barrette...and who knew I would need a glue gun? Seriously? I thought I might not make them. But I was really excited about the over all vision I had in my mind. Then I realized I had to tell Jeff I wanted a glue gun. He laughed as I knew he would.
This was my first hair barrette :-) I no longer can say I won't do any craft that calls for a glue gun...but I am still holding to I will never make a hair bow. I will post pictures in the coming week or so of the outfits I put together...and whatever else I manage to come up with for her! I love getting inspiration :-) Thank you, you sweet little girl!
