My little artist

This is a picture that my 5 year old son Charles drew. He got to ride in a fire truck with my husband in our town's 4th of July parade yesterday.

He is becoming quite the little artist!

Here he is at the parade:

Hope that everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!

Hair Bows

Here are some cute bows that I made for my girls to wear in their hair tomorrow for the Fourth of July.

They are really simple. The striped one was just tied in a bow, then attached to a hair band. The other two were almost as easy...

American Flag Earrings

Here are the American Flag earrings made from my pattern in the previous post.

More Fourth of July Beading Patterns:
