dear reader...well I am up and running again over here @ maggielucia (my name by the way in other places in time ~~ie: Margaret Louise.)
my 5 year old niece dropped by for a visit yesterday and we spent a quiet Saturday afternoon creating/crafting/sewing and generally having a precious few hours
of
girl time..alone for the most part, 'cause the other little one in my home was a party pooper and went down for a nap until 5 oclock, leaving us to our own devices. We made a fabric flower for her, 'cause she spotted one that I made earlier..."auntie, can you make me a flower like this one?" I said" sure of course and we proceeded to pick out the items we needed.

| fun nail polish |
We went thru a bag of scraps and she chose this Michael Miller stripe and the buttons and thread color as well.

| fabric covered buttons hairclips |
I had purchased some notions for fabric covered buttons and we also made a couple of hairclips in the fabric of her choice. They look really sweet and are sooooo easy to make. They literally took 10 minutes start to finish. I hot glued some clips to the backs, but later thought that for her thick hair, bobby pins with pads for glueing the buttons to would work better, so I went online and ordered some of those with larger clips.
anyway reader, this is a short blog today as we have unexpected company and my kids are throwing together an imprompu and awesome dinner. ( won tons with shrimp and chicken and roast chicken asian style...(that noise you hear is my tummy) and ...wait for it....asian steam buns...( we love Coreys' cooking, he makes it look effortless.)
