Hats, haircuts, and washi tape…

I could have just titled this post random but where would the fun be in that?

hat

First off, I made a hat from a sweater!

Usually these sorts of things are epic fails for me but this one worked out!

sideslouch

I actually mashed together three different tutorials to make this.

This was another reason I was surprised that it turned out.

For the sizing part, I used this one.

For how to cut it into a slouch shape and how to connect the top, I used this one.

For how to sew the top, I used this one.

I did all of the sewing by hand since I do not have a machine.

slouch

I like how it turned out but if I did it again, I would probably cut it in more of a rectangle like the last link.

clips

I wore this all day and really liked it!

Score for being to cheap to buy a new hat!

In other news, this boy was in dire need of a haircut.

upsidedown

We were hanging out at their fort and I was thinking how nice it would be to cut it outside.

I then remembered that the extension cord was still out by the fort because Nick is still working on it.

hair

So this wild haired boy went inside and got the clippers…

silly

It’s gone!

No more wild hair!

Plus, no mess to clean up!

after

I think he was happy to be rid of it.

Too much maintenance.

Also, I gave up on washi tape for my family wall.

I tried two different kinds and it peeled right off.

I am still too cheap to buy more white picture frames right now though so I just hung some of the prints with these clips I found at Hobby Lobby.

Has anyone else tried to hang things with washi tape and it failed?

Mohawk’s and Curls

My youngest wanted a Mohawk like his brother usually gets.

His hair is really fine though and shows mistakes!

Since I am their barber right now I know that mistakes will happen!

I finally gave in though and it is not too bad.

From a distance…

curls

This one will not let me cut much off his hair.

He wants to be able to do superhero hair.

That is okay, I really like how his hair curls when it is wet.

He is just interested in one curl though.

A superman curl…

My 5 and 7yr old already have an opinion on hairstyles.

When did that happen?

Going to Miss This ~Haircuts

I have so many memories of sitting on a stool in my parents kitchen while my mom cut my hair.

Usually there was a line of us waiting for our turn.

I have 4 siblings so I wonder if at times my mom felt like she had her own salon…

I will not always get to cut my boys hair.

They might want someone that actually knows what they are doing or even have their wife do it for them.

I am going to cherish these little haircuts.

They are fleeting and precious.

Have you stopped to cherish a fleeting moment today?
