DIY: gorgeous braided headband tutorial

while baby was taking a nap i realized i was quite bored.

i'm not used to being a stay at home mom, and to be honest, it hasn't been a smooth transition.

so i went online to find something quick and easy i could do with an old mustard cami top.

braided bracelets were the thing that caught my eye.

this tutorial from haute to sew

 was exactly what i needed. something quick that would get my creative juices going.

which is exactly what i did, and about five minutes later... this was created.

so after falling for my new bracelet i searched for a tutorial on how to make this into a headband.

which i found.

here you go. read it. then go make it!

DIY: knitted headband tutorial

my blogging maternity leave officially ended yesterday, july 10th.

YES i didn't blog for THREE months. WOW. what an accomplishment!

i have to tell you, i am completely obsessed with this site and LOVE to find tutorials for it...

BUT i knew that i needed to devote my time to this little peanut, 

so i STOPPED blogging completely. i didn't even visit other people's blogs.

IT WAS HARD.

but now i can look back and know i gave 100% of my attention to our little brynlee.
