It's gonna be a bright, sunshine-y day

This cheery California poppy and gilded bumble bee are cheering me up, today! Look twice, it's not a real flower or a real bee. If any of you are locals to the Bay Area, you really should stop by the entrance to the San Francisco Botanical Gardens, and see this and other gorgeous sculptures.

BumbleBee

You can find this fantastic piece of art, here!

These cute and colorful felted posy hair accessories are so much fun to make! A great excuse to use up any bits and pieces of felt.

Here is my version:

felt pony tail holder

floral pony tail holder

I attached (with hot glue) a tiny piece of gold ribbon to hold the rubber hair band to the backside. Simple, fun hair bling! The best part is, it didn't cost me $20!

The kids at the school where I teacher were singing that songs in music class today, and I was truly singing it to myself as I was going through my blogroll, and then your post came up - is that serendipitous or what?
