How to store you hair clips

I have recently just chopped all my hair off. But I still love bows and flowers in my hair. I have found a great easy way to store them. In my linen closet I tied a long ribbon to a shelf then clipped all my flowers and bows to the ribbon. This way they hang at eye level so you can see them and they are easy to pick up or put back. One less box of do-dads laying around :)

Not the best pic but you can see how it works

These are just a few that I use and like

garden

My husband Kevin has taken over the garden this year and has done an amazing job. He made two huge raised flower beds and divided 1ft by 1 ft sections. He grew different plants next to each other that would work well with one another. Normal people just plant all the tomatoes next to one another but that willnt help the plants because they are taking all the same nutrience out of the soil.

this is just what I harvested today. My sister and I are going to make pickles with the cucumbers, I made baby food with the squash and a few green beans, I stuffed the peppers, and im drying the basil and oregano.

As you can see ill be harvesting about this much everyday all summer long.

mounted stuffed animals

So Im not all PETA and thinking hunting is wrong. I think if you eat what your killing, its going to feed your family and not just for killing sake. I have always found taxidermy interesting and would love to learn some day. But until them im sacrificing stuffed animals. All you need to start if a wooden plate you can get at micheals or hobby lobby. Any craft store really and black paint. Grab teddy + glue gun and thats all you need.

paint the plack black and then cut off animals head at the neck. Cut at the slant to the head is looking out not down. Also make sure you have alittle more fabric so you can fold the fabrick inside while you glue it. You dont want to see the seam.

Clines antiques

About 3 years ago a co worker of my hubby's told us about clines. I have been a thrifter for years and have become a picker along the way but never have I seen a place so filled with wonder and excitement for a great find. When my son was about a month old I put him in a sling and off we went threw the barns of dressers, old vintage video games, signs, bottles and ect. I just took my sister meg and our good friend amy this week and this is what we found......

These were my finds for the day. alot for owen and his nautical 1st birthday im about throw for him in july

 

Im making our guest room into owens room and i want it to be nautical theme. but not baby nautical but more grown made very stylized. sign $6

I could not pass him up he is happy old sea cap.  $5

ONLY $3 each.  the hook is for owens room and the bottle openers are for the party of course and I thought they would work great for holding down napkins

There was a whole lot of hand painted very folk art christmas decor. Im thinking it was from a play because of the detail and art that went into these hand carved pieces. It was dense blue foam that they carved and painted. The front was much better looking so im going to fix the tops and cut off the two trees you see in the front. I will put if behind my christmas village of just near the tree.

This is the beekeepers quilts that i have fallen madly in love with!

 You can find the pattern from tiny owl knits on ravelry.com
 http://www.ravelry.com/
It is also Ravelry's  Anniversary!

Anyway i fell in love with this quilt a few months ago and showed my mom. She bought me the pattern and i started making popels like mad. I got sick of  them and started working on Christmas presents. I have been going back and forth from random projects to popel making for a while now and I have 152 made. I only have to make a little over 300 heheh. The great thing about this project is that you can pick it up and put it down whenever and you only need scrap yarn for them. if you need a filler project i recomment this one and support tiny owl because she is an amazing knitter and has come up with awesome designs. :)

This is my bag full of them. I have alot of blues and greens.
