the first post! headband stand!

 so, i figured i'd start this blog out with bang/real live pinterest project. i'm not saying i'm crafty, but i pretend to be sometimes. oh, and this is not a craft blog. i really only do a project every 6 months or so.

i'm pretty much obsessed with pinterest, but i'm very particular about what i pin. it goes through an extreme process in my mind before i deem something worthy to pin. yet i accidentally have about 15 monogram necklaces pinned...those must've slipped through the cracks.

one of my favorite stories involves my friend leigh's boyfriend, randy. i had a housewarming potluck party in february, and leigh had made a bunch of recipes from pinterest to bring to the party. randy was so sick and tired of hearing about the website that he was like, "omg pinterest this and pinterest that. anytime anyone says the word 'pinterest' everyone has to TAKE A SHOT!" i think we all abstained from the game, but if we hadn't, our livers would've been on the floor in an hour.

onto my personal pinterest project:

INSPIRATION IMAGE

 

 MY VERY OWN HEADBAND STAND!

 

it's literally just an oatmeal canister wrapped in wrapping paper. that's it. sure, the inspiration image has it adhered onto a stand, but let's not get carried away here. let's keep things g-rated.

i found that in making this project that i have an obscene amount of headbands. before this, i had them stashed in random places -- in the baskets in the bathroom, on my dresser, in a dog food bowl, just wherever.

so, happy first post to me and happy crafting to you!

xo.
