Handcrafted Bumpit

Yea, so here is the thing. Bumpits are stupid looking. I have no clue why anyone would spend $19.99 on a hard plastic thing that is going to stab you in your head just so that you can have hair that looks like Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.
That being said, people get really really goofy acting at about 4am with the soothing sounds of 20 screaming babies behind you and we have a whole lot of little baby hats sitting around where I work....so I handmade a bumpit out of a couple stray hats and hired me a real cute pregnant model to show of my handiwork. I will be charging $9.98....limited time only, so get yours now!!

Oh, yea....and if you click on the picture, Courtney's head gets GINORMOUS....it's awesome!!

It's been a CRAZY week!

Okay, I am feeling like I'm being a bit blogger slacky this week so I thought I would give a little overview of the week. I havent been as lazy as it seems. It is the week before Renaissance Festival here in TN and I have been doing alot of finish up costume sewing and odds and ends. I took some pics....

These are the hair falls for me and the baby girl.


Maisie got a new quilt and pillow for her bed.


I went to a thrift store and got these for $3...tell me how you could possibly pass that up?! I have no idea what I am going to do with them, but I like them.


We have new beer brewing or fermenting or something....


Baby girl needed some eggs for her kitchen. I got these wooden ones at Hobby Lobby for $.99 each and we painted them to match our chicken's eggs.


All these costumes are done and ready to roll. This week I had to finish Chris's jacket and make both the boy's shirts....and add about 800 million grommets.


And I have a new book that I want to get through that has been very neglected for this week and now is getting a lot of attention. Hellllooooo, Rehvenge!! I cant explain this except to say it is smut and it is good.


Now, if this unending rain would just STOP already, I would be headed out into the woods for some good Ren Fest revelry.

Fancy Bun

So, yesterday I was in Costume mode and looking up--wait for it--BELLY DANCING HAIR! I came upon this technique that i thought was about the most awesome thing I have ever seen in my life. I thought perhaps this was common knowledge among people who actually take time to fancy up their hair but, upon discussion with my work peeps, I have found that it is not. So, let me be the gal to enlighten you!



And then, if you are full on lazy and cheap like me, you can peruse this little beauty so you can get the donut thingy on the cheap out of your own closet! This video has captions for the words since i think this chick is speaking some Asian language we would not otherwise understand...just go with it. Oh, and use a brown sock for heaven's sake. And one sock is plenty unless you have some super-long hair.



Cool, huh?! Told ya!
