Bows!

I am coaching cheer this year. The girls needed something for their hair. My co-coach/cousin decided to make bows for the girls. It was my !st time making them so it took a lot of time and a lot of glue. We made 16 of them. The girls ended up loving them.

We made the middle part a little loose in the back so we could attach pipe cleaners to put them in their hair.
Mostly followed this tutorial on youtube.

Guess what!

One of my best friends in the world just started law school. I stitched a piece for hm of his favorite inspirational lyrics. I finally gave it to him last weekend. He loved it.

BUT!!! 

The big news is...

I'm ENGAGED!
My boyfriend, uh, fiance [I don't know how to do the accent mark and I'm still not used to saying it!] proposed at one of my favorite parks. We had spent the entire day in Santa Monica then went to the park in the evening. At first I didn't take him seriously when he said he wanted to ask me something. I walked away from him and sat on a bench. He walked up to me and proceeded to tell me how much he loved me. I was still skeptical until he took the box out of his pocket. He got down on his knee. I started shaking. He asked. I said yes.

Good thing I had gotten my nails done a few days before.
As of right now, it's going to be a handmade, 1950s wedding. Pintrest has become my addiction. I will keep you posted on all the fun details.
