i just killed a roach

i've been really into making these hair-ties lately:

this particular bunch i made for brick-a-brack-a. the best sister anyone could ask for! (for the record ash-tray and nerd-a-lee are also the best sisters anyone could ask for!)
another not-too complicated, but very satisfying craft i've been all about is kerchiefs! i've busted out a couple for some of ambrose's girly-pals.



today i made a batch for little miss faith's birthday and this time i got to use my new fold over elastic, which gave them a more colorful and polished look. didnt know what fold over elastic was until recently and now i'm wondering how i ever lived without it! just kidding... but really, it made these kerchiefs even cuter.


and it made me wish i could make something cute and beachy to protect the heads of my cute little boys, but i havent come up with anything yet. so we just squeezed asher into the baby carrier with a newsies cap:

and threw a baseball cap on ambeast (he was more concerned with bringing a lunchbox full of books along on the adventure):


and off we went exploring!
