DIY Fun

We've been enjoying a few crafty things around here lately. 

Project #1:  Bows!

The orphanage workers shaved our beautiful Bella's hair a few days before leaving the orphanage.  It was a bit uneven, and they claim it'll grow in nice and thick when they're older if you keep shaving it when they're babies.  Well, I'm hoping that day was the last day our daughter's hair was shaved and that from now on it can grow long.  It's currently grown to about one centimeter.  So, she needs beautiful bows.  My mom sent me this little headband, and I made the bow below!


Project #2:  Wall Art

We saw this  at IKEA:
 And we thought, "we can do that."  So we did.


My projects usually start out with me thinking, "It shouldn't be too hard.  I can do this."  And then I can't do some part and I have to ask Mark to jump in.  He really has an artist's eye.  The placement of the butterflies and the troublesome part of cutting them all out was all him.  Thank you for saving me once again, my dear! 

They look pretty good, don't they?

Great job, looks great. Better than Ikea.
