First, let me say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beautiful, talented, smart & funny Little Sis! {We love you so much!}
My Sister is so sweet & supportive. Here, she is helping me pose our newest little nephew for his newborn photo shoot (I’ll be posting some of those adorable photos soon too). And now, some Handmade Fun…
My Aunt gave me this beautiful brown dress for Baby O, back when she was a brand new baby…I remember thinking at the time that it seemed like it would be lightyears before she would be able to fit it! So, imagine my surprise when I went sifting through her closet this weekend and…voila! It fit perfectly! I was inspired to go back to my pile of felt and ribbon scraps and put together this little headband to match.
This little headband was really fun to put together. I plan to make several to go with different outfits. It’s probably pretty intuitive, from the photos, but if you want to know more about how they’re made, just let me know. 
Again, I’ll have to post some more photos soon! I’ve been a busy Mommy today!…
This past week we had our wonderful friends in town from Philadelphia, as well as my adorable Cousin, who is a Freshman at Duke (we’re so proud of her!). Just to be silly, I made her these “Strawberry Pins” because strawberries are one of the symbols for her new sorority and, well, I wanted to make something small and simple. I glued a pin to the back with Fabri-Tac, so that she can pin them to her bag. Another cute idea would be to glue magnets to the backs so she could put them on the mini-fridge in her dorm room…
Happy Monday.
Is your cousin a ZTA by chance? I'd recognize those strawberries and white violets anywhere!
Oh that might be it! I’m afraid I didn’t recall the name, just the cute symbols

Hey Jane – did you get instructions on how to make the headband from somewhere?
Hi Marcy,
No, I made it up, but I think that it is somewhat common. You use felt and cut several layers to the flower, in increasing size. I stitched them together with hearty thread and also stitched two \”leaves\” to the bottom as well. I then measured her head and sewed a circle of elastic together. I stitched the flower to the elastic and then glued a piece of very soft fabric to the bottom, so that it doesn\’t itch Baby. Is that clear or completely confusing? Let me know, perhaps I can do a quick tutorial here on the blog.
Have fun crafting!,
Jane
