It’s fun to see fashion trends come back around. I’ve watched lots of styles from the eighties show up over the last few years, and it looks like we’ve moved on to the nineties now. I wore overalls in the nineties and I was already an adult then! It’s crazy to think that not [...]
This is a necklace I made while remembering one of my favorite runs: The Rock to Pier 10K. It starts in Morro Bay, California and ends at the Cayucos Pier. The whole run is in the sand on the beach and the view is beautiful. I haven’t run it in several years since [...]

Today’s project is another great way to use old t-shirts. Since we have lots of old shirts and we wear lots of headbands, this project has been done many times around here in many different ways. Here’s the latest version. With Labor Day approaching I thought we could use a red, white and [...]
These button headbands are cute and easy to make. I started with these Goody headbands from Target, but you can use whatever kind you like. These are good (puns follow me) because they don’t feel too tight on your head, and they’re really stretchy, so they fit kids and adults. They come in [...]
