Custom Headband

my hair was crying please, help.  I am at an in-between stage with my hair, and about this time in the growing out process any weak moment could push me to my stylist.  I will not give in, not this time.  I must let it grow, I cannot give up.  My hair is longer in the front, and short in the back where the layers are growing out.  While it is still above my natural hairline, I cannot wear a full-circle type headband yet.  I have always loved wearing my hair back, and headbands are the greatest invention ever.  However, I can't find a single one that doesn't cut the circulation off at my ears.  Big problem.  Especially while I charge through this frumpy stage.  I came up with a grand idea to use up supplies I had around the houset o make one, somehow, someway.  I had to find some wire or something flexible yet sturdy in my stash, or maybe even in the garage.  You see, I have been locked in my house with a one-yr-old who caught the measles and I cannot leave this house.  Not for the rest of the week.  I am desperate.  I can't even get my haircut in a moment of weakness if I wanted to.  My stylist will thank me, if she ever forgives me for not calling back to make the appointment for a little trim last week.  Sorry Becky, you don't want this at home, trust me.

The best one yet!

I saw my first hooded towel when my sister was expecting.  I purchased one from a friend for her baby shower gift.  It was free from any major embellishments aside from a ribbon around the hood.  It was her favorite color; lime green.  It was neutral.  Very functional.  After all the positive feedback, and gasps of how darling and useful this was going to be, I gave it a good look and began sewing them.  Hooded-towels became my new go-to gift for babies.  I began sewing one for every baby shower I was invited to, and each one became a bit more detailed, more personal.  Each time I gave one away, all the mother's in the room raved on how functional these were, and how it is the ONE thing they still use, years later.  I had no idea I could have such an impact, I wasn't a mommy.  The new owner to this hooded towel was born yesterday.  She's her mommy's first born daughter, and though we didn't know if it would be a he or a she, I think this one will fit her just perfectly.  After all, pink isn't the only color she can wear, it just may be the best color, but not the only color, in my opinion.  Welcome to the world, baby Elise.  I hope you like your bath-time as much as your mommy likes to wrap you in your towel.
