Hair Bows. Hair Bows Everywhere

I have two girls. No wait. I have two girly girls. and we have more hair bows/flowers/clips then their little bathroom can handle. So what happens? Pinterest happens. I saw these cool bow hanger things on there and HAD to make my own version. So here it is:

What you need:

wood frame in at least an 11x13

Landscape fabric- it isn't fabric at all, is wire mesh you get in the garden center of Lowe's or Home Depot. 

Picture hanging wire

Small eye screws

2 wooden dowels-.25" size

Hot glue

Wire cutters

I started with cheap WOOD frames from Wal-mart. They really need to be wood or the paint doesn't stick. I did a coat of white spray primer (sorry no pic) and then 2 coats of  paint. Don't ya just love that blue!?!? 

While the paint was drying I cut the landscape fabric to match the size of the glass in the frame. 

Then I used hot glue to sandwich the "fabric" between the frame and the dowels. You have to hold it there for a bit to make sure the dowels don;t pop back up when you let go.  (Don't ya love the picture of my cast?? Stupid broken wrist.)

Then hammer a starter spot for the eye screws. 

Screw in the eye screws and then attach the picture wire. Wrap it up nice and tight. 

And hang your bows!! Easy as pie!

Yummy Tea

I don't remember where I got this. But it is SO good. It's been hot (for Idaho anyway. Nothing like Phoenix) here, and I've made this about 9 times. It seems like I make it and then it's gone. Maybe there's a hole in my pitcher.... ;)

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 tsp. whole cloves
• 6 black tea bags
• 3-4 C. apricot or peach nectar
• Sugar or honey, to taste (optional) I use the Kerns nectar, which is really sweet, so no sugar for me. 

Instructions

In large saucepan, simmer water, cinnamon stick and cloves 15 minutes, covered. Turn off heat and add tea bags. Steep 5-7 minutes, depending on the strength you prefer. Remove tea bags and add nectar. Add sugar or honey, if desired. Strain to remove spices. Refrigerate until cold, or serve warm
