I haven’t done custom crowns in awhile, but I always love the challenge when someone wants me to do so. A lovely lady requested that I make two coordinating crowns for her two sons, and they were going to go with a birthday party based on a particular book. Can anyone tell me what book inspired these crowns?
We had a pretty funny Sunday. You see, we go to church about an hour away from where we live, and when we got to church, Ben realized that he forgot his shoes! Ha! To top it all off, he was the service leader for our Sunday gathering. Despite this hilarious mistake, praise God that the situation didn’t deter him and he led Sunday service just fine (thanks be to God) bare feet and all (here’s proof)! After which, we skidaddled to the nearest Rite Aid to pick him up some cheap flips flops. Then, we went our merry way to do some vintage clothing hunting. I came out with some goodies for myself for just a buck, but it was a bust to find anything for Ben! I guess it just wasn’t his luck on Sunday.
How was your weekend? Have any funny stories that might trump the story of Ben forgetting his shoes for church?!!
Where the Wild Things Are! I love that Ben forgot his shoes! God just wants us present… it's okay if we aren't in our Sunday shoes 😉
Where the Wild Things are for sure! They are perfect and I LOVE Max and his crown… so cool.
Those are awesome! Nice work!
Those are the most beautiful crowns I have ever seen. And so much for a boy. LOVE them.
Beautiful crowns, and thanks for sharing Ben's funny story. My weekend was pretty calm (I got to donate a huge bag of clothes that I don't wear anymore at church, which felt really good!). Happy Monday!
those crowns are beautiful!!
love the book where the wild things are (not a huge fan of the movie) so def loving this custom crowns!!
happy monday, girl!
That is too funny! Love it!
Love the crowns!
And, that is so hilarious that Ben got in the car without his shoes…and led the service like that.
Amazing crowns!
haha! I believe it! With TWO kids sometimes I end up somewhere important without something important so I can imagine getting three little girls dressed and out the door can keep you on your toes! no pun intended.
ha!
what a sport to not be too embarrassed to lead anyway.
Where the Wild things Are!
You did a great job : )
Love your Where the Wild Things Are crowns. What a clever idea! I sew with felt also – little purses, bookmarks, cell phone holders…
EEEEeek!! I just about died when I opened your page this morning, seeing as they didn't some Saturday 🙂 They're probably in my mail box RIGHT now and as soon as I finish making/eating/cleaning up lunch we'll have to run down there before naps. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! They're Amazing! I'm sooo excited!

my sunday funny is that i am 30 with three kiddos and in the afternoon a lady rang the doorbell and handed me some fliers for some local politicians and then asked me to give them to my parents when they got home!! i loved it. she was embarrassed but i love that she mistook me for a teenager 😉
love those crowns!
Where the Wild Things Are! Yea! Did you ever see the movie? It made me sad and tainted my own imagination of the story:( Anyway…funnnny about Ben forgetting his shoes – gotta love a church when you can show up despite them though:) Did he make a clever analogy about it, using the negative to drive home a HUGE positive lesson? That'd be cool! Have a great week!!!
THOSE CROWNS! ARE! AMAZING! They are beyond “crafty,” way into the realm of artistic. Wow.
i am so glad the theme of the crown is recognizable! i was a bit nervous! and i loved doing custom crowns… so if you are in need of one, let me know!!!
Yes – very recognizable! Still giggling about Ben's bare feet!
these are fantastic! so whimsical, im sure the boys will love them!
