Mommy Brag

Actually, I'm not bragging about the kids today, just my super awesome crafting skills.  (So modest right?)  I've become slightly addicted to Pinterest, a kind of crafty version of Facebook but you can organize all the things you like (think of them as bookmarks) on separate boards and they all have pictures so you can quickly see what they are.  (You just have to check it out.)

Anyway, I found this picture posted on Pinterest and figured that I could make my own version. (Click HERE for a link to the website for this picture if you are interested)

So, I made my own Ariel- it is amazing what you can do with some ribbon and hot glue!

This is what the website's Ariel looked like:

Ally liked it so much that she didn't want me to glue it to the headband.  (Although, she did ask where the arms were.)  She ran around the living room (dressed as Ariel of course) with the ribbon Ariel making her swim around.  Then she started requesting that I make a King Triton, Prince Eric, and one with a pink tail.  Eventually, she consented to letting me glue it to the headband, but she did ask I make another that she can play with.


I could not get that goofball to keep the binkie out of her mouth, but she was in bed so I didn't fight much.

Now I only wish that I had some nieces that I could make some Christmas presents for.  I have a plan for a Rapunzel one.  Maybe Ally can give some to friends!
