Shameless Bragging

Well, lest you think that I've done nothing on my many days of rest, I thought I'd prove that I've been a busy bee... at least part of the time. When we were still in NY I was looking for head scarves for Ellie. Her winter hats are too hot, but Ellie still likes to cover her head in public. So... I went off in search of some cute and cool little head scarves - preferably fitted. I finally found a gorgeous one - silk and perfectly tucked in all the right places. It was $48 for ONE scarf! (Even if I could have found a way to justify spending that - and I couldn't - there's no way that an 8 year old can be trusted that much.) I continued my search to no avail. I finally found some inexpensive cotton handkerchiefs at a little store in the mall. So, for the last few days I've been sewing head scarves for Ellie. I got four different colors and I only needed half of one to make the scarf. All that extra fabric... what's a girl to do? I get bored easily, so making four identical scarves was just out of the question. (It becomes like doing housework - my feeling on that is that if I've done it once I should never have to do it again. Been there, done that!) I just finished that last one this morning and ironed them all up. Then I made Ellie try them all on and do a little photo shoot. I thought you might like to see the results. (Thank you Reni for the work you did putting the pictures into such pretty collages!) I'm so pleased with how they turned out, and Ellie looks like such a model. She makes bald look stylish! (Actually, she's starting to get some hair - I'll get a picture of that soon and show you. It's so exciting!)
