sickie sunday.

i am alive right now thanks to mucinex, ibuprofen, and nyquil. yes, friends, winter has finally found me. all i want to do is snuggle with my puppy and go to sleep, but i thought it would make me feel better to make some treasures. so here's what i did today in my cold/flu drugged stupor:

green floral corduroy / yellow yarn & beads band.

 i used a band that one of my friends donated to the hair treasures cause. it's a heavy duty plastic scalloped band circa 1990something and looks sweet with the yarn. i pulled apart a crazy multi-colored necklace to get these matching yellow beads and strung them together to make the flower.




green & white buffalo check mountain band.

the only reason "mountain" comes to mind is because i tried a new technique, and it is 3D like little hills. but "hill" band doesn't sound as cool as "mountain." right? sorry, it's the drugs talking.



vintage doily applique / aqua linen band.

i wish i would have taken a before/after picture. the "before" would be a hideous short-sleeved blazer with shoulder pads. i've already used the buttons from the blazer and some of the aqua fabric on some other pieces, so i figured it was about time for the doily to make its debut. it wraps most of the way around the band, and the aqua adds a special subtle touch.




i can't wait until i can stop blowing my nose with a roll of toilet paper. even my eye sockets hurt. woe is meee.
