Wow! Does anyone remember me? I can’t believe it’s been 6 weeks since my last blog post! Yikes! In my defense, I did warn you earlier this summer that I would be busy making memories, and that I have.

Shortly after my Boho Headscarf post, hubby, the kids and I packed up our car and drove down to Florida to visit family and friends. Our trip was originally scheduled to last about 10 days, but we ended up staying a little over three weeks!

If you follow my Facebook page, you will know that my nephews’ infamous “twins shower”, which prompted me to start designing baby gift items such as the neck tie and mustache burp cloths and the neck tie diaper and wipes pouch, finally came to fruition while I was in Florida.

I designed some super cute cupcake picks, a neck tie bunting and mini neck tie “capia” pins for the event. (Capia pins are traditional Latin American monogrammed pins that guests are given to wear at bridal and baby showers.)

After the shower, I spent a lot of time with my mom and sister. Mom and I did some sewing:

and sis and I took our kids to the beach twice, to the movies and to lunch at the T-Rex Cafe in Downtown Disney!

Do you see my beautiful niece sporting her AquaSeventy6 flower earrings?

The rest of our trip we spent hanging out with friends and cousins. We were strictly budgeted, (I mean, really, who can afford a 3-week vacation, even if they are staying with family?) So, our friends in Land O Lakes, Seffner, Town N Country and St. Pete Beach took turns inviting us over for dinner. I can’t express what a beautiful gesture that was, and how much we enjoyed their company! (Thanks to R&M, D&M, J&R, A&L, J&Z, and J&C for your yummy homemade dinners, good conversation and your friendship!)

Since I’ve been home, I’ve started to work on some new items, which I will be sharing with you this week. I also had a HUGE sale in my Etsy shop (another reason you MUST follow me on FB!) I have missed my little blog, and I hope you’ve missed me, too!

You’ve seen them on everyone from Nicole Richie to SJP. Now AquaSeventy6 is going to help you rock out the Boho Headscarf.

My friend Jasmine custom ordered some elastic headbands from my collection. But after breaking three needles and being on the verge of homicide I decided that now was probably a good time to discontinue the line. (Confession: Every time I would get an order for an elastic headband I literally had to coax myself to get behind the machine. If it wasn’t a broken needle, it was tangled thread. I will probably re-imagine them with an easier to sew elastic, but for now they are history.)

After profusely apologizing, I asked Jas if she had anything else in mind, and she wondered if I could make her a bohemian headscarf. I had never made a head scarf before, but I was super pumped for the challenge, and I’m thrilled with the way it turned out!

I pleated the part that goes on the head and left the ends loose. I then stitched it across in sections for a quilted look.

I would have loved to have shown you some different looks with this head scarf, but alas, it is 102 degrees here today, and I had to run inside before dying of a heatstroke! Not to mention that I was still sporting bedhead and morning face…thanks to Picmonkey’s airbrush tool for helping me look less like the undead. 😉
