Look! I did my hair!

I only ever wear my hair down either straight or curly. Sometimes if my bangs are bugging me, I pull them up. But I have been reading the blog My Yellow Sandbox lately and have seem some amazing hair ideas. Abby is wearing 30 different hairstyles in 30 days. I tried the bohemian twist. It was surprisingly easy. I even went out in public with it, which I never do with my hair. I don't know what it is, I just like wearing my hair the same most of the time. And when it's the least bit chilly I hate to pull it up because then my ears and neck get cold. But maybe Abby can change my mind!

Bridesmaid Belts

I made these belts for my brother's upcoming wedding. They are for the bridesmaids dresses which are a really pretty shade of orange. The wedding colors are orange and hot pink.

I am so pleased with how they turned out! I think they are so pretty! And I am one of the bridesmaids so I get to wear one!

I used about 2 yards of ribbon to allow for a bow, but we didn't want the ribbon to hang too far down in the back.

This isn't a great shot because I took it of myself. But I did want to show you how the belt looked worn. Here, I just have it over a simple black cardigan. The wedding is next week and I will take a picture of the belt and dress together to share.

I made extra hot pink flowers for hair clips or pins. You can pick one up for yourself here. : )
