Better late than never

As mentioned earlier, there was a third hipster headband made for the big birthday fete of 2008. Sorry it took me eons to catch my favorite organic farming, veg-oil-converting West Virginian wearing hers. For "The Richele," I chose an earthy motif to match her hippie-ish nature. The butterfly adds a girlish touch so she can still feel like a lady even if she's wearing a dirty jumpsuit and is underneath the hood of a giant diesel truck. Purple is her favorite color, so naturellement it played a role.


You may recall I also promised to make a more age-appropriate hipster headband. So for "The Porkchop," I went with princess styling because what 2-year-old doesn't want to be a princess? There's also sequined bling because Layla loves flashy things as I discovered when I gave her some of my Mardi Gras beads back in the spring. (It sounds a lot fishier than it is -- don't worry, I didn't make the poor 2-year-old flash for her beads. For that matter, I didn't flash for the beads!) Perhaps Richele will get some pictures of Princess Porkchop this weekend that I can share next week. Happy Thursday and almost-end to the longest week ever.

Hipster headwear

My shopping guru stumbled upon these amazing headbands not long ago, and I was instantly smitten. Not willing able to shell out $150+ for such a novelty item, however, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Armed with my trusty hot glue gun and an array of random odds and ends from Michael’s, I cranked out three of these lovelies a couple weeks ago for myself and two friends to wear during a certain birthday weekend. Kate’s headband is above, and mine is below. I’ll show Richele’s in a separate post once I get a better picture. And I’ve been commissioned to make one for a more age-appropriate customer, Richele’s 2-year-old niece, Layla. Once that one is done -- Richele, I need her head measurements! -- there will be even more hipster headgear to showcase. Happy weekend everyone!
