"When I was born, I was so surprised
I couldn't talk for a year and a half." ~ Gracie Allen

He, he. Cute. In the nature of surprise and suprises, I have a special grab bag of barrettes. I was organizing my studio {yes--you need pictures, I'll get on it!} when I came across a box full of snipits of fabric. I felt bad just throwing them away, so I decided to make little clips out of them instead. These are ridiculously fun to make. In fact, I would wear my bath robe until dinner time, let the kids starve, and never clean the kitchen and just make barrettes all day--they're that fun. But don't worry, I did get dressed, feed my kids, and... well, two out of three is not bad.



It's been in the hundreds for quite some time here *ick,* so I took the kids to an indoor playground while I photographed these on the concrete outside, despite dirty looks from other moms. Hey, in my defense, I was maybe 20 feet away and could see them through a wall of glass. It's not like I took the monitor and went for a five mile jog while they were napping, though I know of a mom that does that. Anyway.....






The set is $16.50 and includes 4 barrettes; you can purchase 2 for $30, just use the code 2FER in the notes to seller. I haven't done a giveaway in a long time, so the first person to leave a comment gets a FREE set! {Be sure to read the listing description to leave your one word.}



I have so many things to blog about.... pictures, ideas, interesting happenings. For a long time now you have probably heard me talk about a "big business project;" well, I'm getting very close to sharing that with you! It's a very exciting but very busy time.... all while I am going out of my mind having my kids in the heat and unstructured nature of the summer. They are writing on the walls in sharpie, super gluing fabric to my sewing machine, cutting their own hair. Honestly, it's crazy. Aidan has also taken to repeating me, so I hear questions from him like:

"You hungry, sweetie?"

"Can I get you something to drink?"

"You look tired, sweatheart. Do you feel tired? I think it's time for a rest."

The other day he asked me if I needed a cup of coffee. I didn't even realize that I was using those terms of endearment. Sweet heart, do I really say that? Well, it could be much worse. I hope I can get to the rest of my blog posts soon. Hope you are well and enjoying your summer! *smooch*
