Curling Ribbon

B is always loves the cute hair ribbons in the stores.  I hate spending $$ on that sort of thing.  So, I make it.  Did you know you can curl your own fabric ribbons?  

We tried it out over the 4th.  

Wet the ribbon with water.  Wrap around a dowel or chop stick (in my case).  Bake at 200 degrees until dry (about 10 minutes).  Unwrap and fluff!  

Ta-dah!

N - boy genius

Just a quick post to make sure you know I'm still here... I'm in the middle of a big painting project and I want to finish to get this monkey off my back!   

N is a toddler genius... not even two.  He put this puzzle together all by himself!  

Can you believe it?!  I know, the universities are lining up as we speak...
