Quiet Books

Sorry for the unexpected hiatus from my blog! I didn't realize how rapped up I got in the fabulous weather! Needless to say that it is SNOWING right now!! That's right SNOWING! So here I am back on the ole' blog-a-roo.
I found the most fabulous blog today as I was getting my Pinterest fix. It caught my eye because I have started looking for quiet book ideas. Boy, oh boy, does she have ideas!!!

I had a quiet book my Grandmother made me and I remember spending tons of time playing with it. Especially during Sacrament Meeting. It always seemed to pass the time quickly {as I am sure my Mom loved having me occupied}
To this day I am not sure where it ended up and have been wanting to make one for my kids. Now the task doesn't seem so daunting with this fabulous blog!
I think I might even have to try my trusty Silhouette with this project!

Felt flowers...how do you wear them?

We had extended family pictures this last weekend. 

Was I ready: NOPE! 

I was especially stumped on flowers and headbands for my girls. 

I was just tired of the same old bows and flowers they wear. 

So I started searching around blogland for new ideas...

we all know it didn't  disappoint! 

Jamielyn over at I {heart} naptime always has amazing ideas!

And I totally fell in love with her felt flowers

OR 

maybe her darling little girl! 

Follow her super easy, pictures and all tutorial to get some for your darling little girls!

We were all wearing bright colors and I thought her shirt was just too boring! 

So, I grabbed some snaps and attached them to the shirt and the back of each flower. 

I love how it turned out! and super inexpensive too! 

I might be doing overkill, but I just love these! 

I attached them to the elastic headbands for adults. 

I usually wear them when I workout or am out in the yard to keep my hair out of my face. 

They fit her head perfect and the non slide sticky stuff on the inside keeps it in place.

p.s. totally noticed the water spots on B's shirt after I posted the pic's. haha

How would you wear them? Let me know what creative way you come up with to wear these darling flowers!

felt rose balls Part Uno

Hilary over at Spending Less Living More was my inspiration behind these cuties. 

She has a super simple, easy to follow tutorial with pictures and all! 

I used Styrofoam balls my MIL gave me. 

I didn't realize how crazy expensive these babies are,

for an awesome alternative

use Hilary's gossip mag creations. 

Super simple and cheap! 

These hang over little B's bed and More are in the making! 

Ciao!
