Flower Rings

These flower rings were made by Baylee and her sister, and they are extremely easy to make. And to top it all off, they're adorable.

First you take the flower trinket (or anything you want for that matter) and you glue it to the ring base. Now you're done. It really is that easy. A few tips, Baylee's sister purchased the materials from a website through Artfire, but you could probably find the ring bases at any craft store. The best glue to use E-6000, which can be found at any craft store, or even Walmart. And last, you don't need a ton of glue, just make sure that it's fully dry before you wear the ring.

Boho Like Earrings

Baylee made these earrings with her sister, and they're are super cute, and super easy to make.

First, you need to purchase the earring. Baylee's sister got hers from Pick Your Plum. They're just plain wood. Next, choose some paint that you like and paint the earrings. After they're dry, take some sand paper and sand away at the corners and edges, to give them the old and worn look. Once you attach the earring part, viola! You got a new, personalized pair of earrings. We told you they were easy!

Head Wraps. Times two.

We're back for more.

Sarah sewed some more head wraps, so we now have a total of ten. (plus the three Baylee already owned.) We decided to document them, see what you think. Also, thirteen head wraps is a lot, so we thought we might take a gander at selling some. If anyone is interested, you can contact us at bayleeandsarah@gmail.com or, shoot Sarah a tweet at @SarahMak82. Or just comment. They're all two dollars, unless we have to mail them, then it'll be a little more. (We'll talk.) Anyway, here's the pics.

(see how to make your own here)

please note that we never claimed to be models or photographers. we understand these aren't world class photos, and it didn't help that the sun was at a super awkward angle when we went out. you should just be happy we put makeup on.

Angsty Bathroom Cleaning.

baylee

Hey friends. Sorry there's been no postage from either me or Sarah. Things have been crazy. We've been meaning to post more head wraps Sarah made, but have been pushing it aside due to family activities and illnesses. I thought I'd drop in with a little too doo lou, in case anyone actually reads this.

Today was a bathroom cleaning day. And I wasn't even asked. My mind has been buzzing with song lyrics, and I needed to sing them all whilst scrubbing at my bathtub with Soft Scrub. I love song lyrics. They are the help that we never asked for, yet so desperately needed. They are the friend that can never leave, and with one push of a button, their shoulder is right there to cry on. They are our thoughts and feelings said so much more creatively and correctly than we could ever portray. May I?

(a lot of you smart cookies probably noticed that our blog title is inspired from a fun. song. they're kinda the kings of great lyrics. which is why the majority of these are also from fun. songs.)

"I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked...

...and here they come again to jack my style."

some nights. fun.

"Why haven't you been there for me?

Can't you see, I'm losing my mind,

(this time i think it's for real.)"

be calm. fun.

"Yeah, it's all alright,

I guess it's all alright...

I've got nothing left inside my chest,

but it's all alright."

all aright. fun.

"kiss.

There's a thought so how 'bout this...

Let's pretend that both our lips are made of candy...

...after all, we need sweets every now and then..."

don't you. darren criss

"My heart's breaking for my sister,

And that con that she called love...

Then I look into my nephew's eyes...

Man, you won't believe the most amazing things,

that can come from some terrible nights."

some nights. fun.

"I'm scared that everyone is out to get me."

be calm. fun.

"Some nights I wish this all would end,

'cause I could use some friends for a change."

some nights. fun.

"Well, all this glitter's gettin' dark,

there's concrete growin' in the city park,

I don't know who my neighbors are,

and there's bars on the corners,

and bars on my heart."

where the green grass grows. tim mcgraw

"I feel like an artist,

whose lost his touch...

He likes himself in his art,

but not his art too much."

Alright friends, thanks for that. I'm out now.

"A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous."

And we are both.

When we realized there was only a month left of summer, we decided to do something crazy. And no, we're not going skinny dipping, or having our first beer. We're throwing a party. In celebration of our fabulousness (and class.)

(oh yes. there will be grape soda.)

The details this party are yet to be determined, but of two things we are sure:

1. It will be a black tie event.


2. It will be classy. And fabulous.

So you can bet your bottom dollar that it'll be the party of the summer. For those of you that we actually know, you'll be recieving your invitation via mailbox. (We're that classy.) If we don't know you...you can't come. But don't worry, there will a blog post about it. It's like you will be there in spirit.

Head Wraps

Today we made a SUPER easy head wrap.

We love these head wraps because not only are they easy to make, they're super adorbs. Baylee especially likes them because it's an easy fix for a bad hair day. (She wears them way too much.)

Step One. Gather fabric.

This is pretty self explanatory, friends. Get a strip of fabric, long enough to tie around your head. (We like ours long, so we do anywhere from 2.5-3 feet)

Step Two. (optional) Make the ends pointy.

We think square ends are ugly so we make them triangles. This also makes it easier to tuck the ends in if you want to knot it. (see first picture)

Step Three. Cut triangles out.

In this step, you cut the triangles out. (With scissors, love, Sarah.)

Step Four. Pin where you'll sew.

To prevent the edges of your head wrap from fraying, we're gonna sew the edges under. You take take as much as you want, depending on how thick you want the head wrap. (On ours we did about 1 in.) Repeat for both sides.

Step Five. Sew.

Sew.

And there you have it.

Now you have your own little head wrap to wear. Baylee likes putting her hair up in a bun and put the wrap so it covers her hairline, and Sarah likes to leave her bangs out and wear it as a kitchy headband.

Waving and Sunsets

Happy Sunday.

We were feeling bored and goofy today. You know the feeling, too, right? good. We sat on a bench just outside Baylee's house, and waved to all the passing cars. What did we accomplish by this? Well, we live in a world today where having to talk face to face with someone is terrifying. Technology has made it so easy to say things you don't mean, or things that you'd never actually say. We want to live in a world where you smile, at everyone. When you see someone looking blue, and you just give a look that says, "I've been there. I've done that. You're not alone."

"Be the change you wish to see in the world."

--Mahatma Ghandi

We're done just sitting on the sidelines. We're done smiling at cute quotes our friends put on their pinterest. We're ready to be the change. So we did. On a typical Sunday afternoon, we waved at everyone, and some were more friendlier than others, but everyone got a smile and a wave. And it felt nice. It felt warm and fuzzy. And there were cute bikers. Just sayin.

okay, so in all reality, we were just being goofy. and it was fun. but, why not find deep meanings, out of just messing around? this is life, it's all deep stuff.

Summer Bucket List

No, this isn't some cheesy list that every teenage girl makes, consisting of things that will never happen, such as "Kiss a boy," or "Go skinny dipping," this is fer realsies.

Five more weeks. Five more weeks. Five more weeks to tan. Five more weeks to stay up. Five more weeks to eat ice cream. (Okay, so we always do all these things, but let's be dramatic for a while.) We're not letting it go to waste. We're putting our lives in our hands, cause it's time. We're ready.

• Make rompers
  too cute. and we've yet to find ones that are perfect. (except for sarah. she got one.)
• Make LONG rompers
  so, i know they're not really in style...but baylee wants one. so bad.
• Make head wraps
  we're kinda obsessed with them.
• Make jewelry
  we're fancy pants. (already have made some...pictures and tutorials soon)
• Photoshoot
  we never claimed to be models...or photographers...but why not?
• Make lemon velvet cake (and other interesting yums.)
  we like food too much. enough said.

Loves to everyone.
