Shear Fun...

My little sister had a birthday recently, and we had a Shaun the Sheep
birthday party for her.

I made her this purse with some felt I that I had. She uses it every day! :) 

   An idea on Pinterest inspired me to make these adorable cupcakes for the her party. They are really yummy and easy!

I also saw a idea to make these fun sheep ears... my little sister wore them with her sheep costume for her "Baa-day" celebration. :) 

Using a repurposed Christmas headband to start with,  I made some ears with some old pieces of felt and attached them, folding slightly to achieve a curved, "sheepish" look. 

Then I dug madly in my drawer for cotton balls... when I found them there was just enough! 

I was excited that I had made a headband without going to the store, or even ordering online. ;) Have some fun trying to make something out-of-the-ordinary with things you have in your home... you just might be surprised at what you can do! the hope maiden
