Fashion Emergency

What would you do if you had a cute new outfit to wear and no matching hair bow?

Have your mommy make one, of course. (**Details on how I made the bow below.)

The shirt says, "I am berry sweet." I'd have to agree.

For lunch, we went to 5 Guys with Aunt Carly and Jack. Kaylin adores Jack, partly because he thinks she's hilarious. But what baby doesn't think a 3 year old is funny? Kaylin can get Lauren to laugh more than anyone else.

Yes. Kaylin is drinking ketchup. I love ketchup, but that is just a little too much. She had a nice ketchup mustache afterward.

**Korker bow details: After trying a couple of methods over the past few months (I used korker ribbon on the wand I made in December), the one I used today was the best. I simply wrapped 3/8" wide grograin ribbon, without overlapping, on a 1/4 inch dowel. I secured each end with a metal hair clip that I bent to make it stay on. You can use wooden clothes pins, but I don't have any. I also wrapped ribbon around the handle of two wooden spoons, but the handles are slightly larger than 1/4" so the loops aren't as tight. I placed the dowel and wooden spoons on a cookie sheet and baked them at 275 for 25 minutes.

After the ribbon cooled, I slipped it off the dowel. I cut the ribbon into 3" lengths. I heat sealed the end of each ribbon (held the end over a flame). For the bow pictured above I used 4 pieces of red ribbon and 3 pieces of white. I placed them in a row, alternating colors, and tied them together using a piece of elastic cording. I then hot glued the bow to a ribbon covered hair clip.

The clip was easy to make and I think it turned out really cute. I'll probably make more.
