DJ was out of town this past weekend for TU's game against UTEP. We won in case you were wondering! (Seriously y'all, it's pathetic how much football has become my life.) Anyway, I was so excited that he'd be out of town! I love my husband, and I have a love/hate relationship with his career, but every once in a while I get so excited that he's going to be away!
Want to know why?

Because, I get to do this all weekend long!
Well, this and take care of our girlies!
So, my craft weekend actually started on Thursday. I took the girls to school, well, maybe DJ did? But I set to work on projects on Thursday, with a brief interruption of a few hours of my real job on Friday afternoon.
My neighbors are wonderful and have been so helpful this year! Mrs. Carmen will come over just to hold a baby, and her kids come over to play with the big kids, and I get to accomplish some task around the house. She also brings me decadent desserts and wine. On top of that, they watch Gretchen two mornings a week when I have to go in early. Seriously, they're wonderful.
She asked me to make her daughter two hair pretties, so P (her daughter) came over and she picked out the satin cluster piece above. It's so adorable for Christmas, but seriously y'all, it can be worn year round!
P is in a wedding in November, and we decided upon a purple nagorie feather for her hair piece. I accented it with ivory loops, and a tiny deep purple bow, and a piece of purple bling.
Fallon requested this satin cluster piece for her daughter when she saw it for sale during a comment game on my Facebook Page.
The original piece had jingle bells and a tiny red sequin bow. I re-ordered the cluster flowers, and when I began working on the piece, I realized I was almost out of jingle bells and completely out of sequins bow. So, I did what any one would do. I improvised.
It's a good thing I did because I love this! I love it more than the first piece! I added the jingle bells that I had remaining, along with pearls (my favorite stone) (Random Fact that all three of my girls have the name "Pearl" somehow incorporated into their name.) then I also added a red bow with a polymer clay reindeer.
I also had to finish up October Bow of the Month Club orders, and I created the above hair bow for Kendra, the newest member of the club!
And for weeks, I've been swamped with y'all's orders (that's a word right? "y'all's") that I hadn't had time to complete these caramel apple hair bows for my own little girls, so I finally finished them!
Y'all tired yet?
Since Thursday was bow day, Saturday and Sunday were applique day.
I first made this little Grinch tie. And, another random fact- I've been told by several people, all of whom don't really know each other, that I may or may not look like the Grinch when I smile.
I shouldn't have shared that with y'all because you're going to notice in all of my pictures now!
And, I appliqued four trick or treat bags!
The above bag is the only bag that is still available, so if you must have it- It's $25.00 shipped! It would be so cute as a teacher gift too, just stuff in some candy and a starbucks gift card, and your child's teacher will have the best Halloween ever!
Love what you see?
