feather headbands.

as i have mentioned before, lucy is always looking for a good craft to pass the time.

we found this online and she was obsessed.

i have to say i am a little jealous of the kind of seven year old lucy is.

i would have been way too self-concious to wear this feather headband as i played by myself in the yard, painting rocks and pretending to read old books.

might have something to do with not having an older sister who makes you feel like you are childish and silly (no hard feelings to my own sister, it was my own insecurity that made me feel this way), but i totally dig her independent, imaginative, carefree ways.  

some feathers, fabric, elastic, fake jewels and an old granola box and you are good to go.
