Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Crafting for Boys with Ribbon!

I love crafting with ribbon for my girls, but can you find a ribbon craft for a boy?


Apparently you can! Count on me to figure out a way somehow. :) I did some ties for a friend who is having a boy. The first picture is a tie out of ribbon. Just tie the knot, cut it to the length you want, and then cut the neck part in half and put elastic there instead. (I did a REALLY small neck and just added a lot of elastic.)

The second picture I did just a little differently. The one on the left I made out of some scraps I had. The one on the right I stole one of Nathan's ties (Thank you, Nathan, for your sacrifice.) and made a baby tie with this tutorial. Although, I made a small change or two to it, so I'll just have to do one big tie tutorial with a couple of different ties. So fun to figure something out yourself. I wanted to be able to share with others how to make a tie, so I didn't want to spend 6 or 7 dollars for a pattern/tutorial, so I did it myself! No worries, I'll be ready to share soon.
