Spring is almost upon us. With flowers popping up everywhere on campus and a few rare but wonderful days of sun in Eugene, it's all this little cat can think about! That's why, in the midst of studying for finals, I had to whip up a few spring inspired headbands. They are similar to the ones I did for Valentine's day, with vintage lace and flexible headbands for those of you who are tired of having your poor little skull squeezed to death by evil, rigid headbands (I know I am). What gives these a springtime twist is the translucent pink and blue acrylic flowers from Joann's. The colors and the way they catch the sun just says "spring" to me! Perfect for an Easter picnic or spring vacation, these headbands will give any outfit springtime sparkle!

Dreaming of flowers and sunshine,

Romantic Vintage Lace Headbands

These headbands are inspired by, though very different from the some of ones I have seen at Camp Hollyhock. I love how they take fabric and lace scraps, flowers and bows to make their beautiful, one-of-a-kind headbands.

 I have also been trying to make better use of cute hair accessories since I cut my hair even shorter a couple of weeks ago. This gave me the idea of designing my own headbands.

The base is a plastic headband covered with some beautiful vintage lace Plushy gave me and decorated with hot pink felt hearts and buttons. I only made two for starters, but I loved making them and am really happy with the way that they turned out, so if you love them too I would gladly make more! These two will be on Etsy soon if anyone wants one for Valentine's Day. In the absence of a suitable manikin, I am modeling them for you.

Love,

Etsy Update

I recently had some trouble with our Etsy shop, LaughingCatCreative, but it is all fixed. If you tried to buy something and couldn't, it should work now. Also, I am working on some more scarves which you can expect to see soon, as well as a new idea for headbands which you will see if they turn out well! I am working on getting a fun variety of things up on Etsy, all of which I will blog about here as well.

That's all for now, sorry I don't have a fun new project to show but I wanted to let people know what was going on with the Etsy shop, and I will have new stuff to show you soon!
