First, Happy Belated birthday to my MOM!!! sorry you did not get your own fancy post, but my mind has been elsewhere!! I will make a special post just for you!!

And second, Happy Belated St. Patty’s Day! Sláinte!

So, here’s the dress up part of this post…I originally started to make this project for KPA. He wasn’t home for me to take proper measurements so I was just eyeballing it as I carried on. I wanted to make a bow-tie after I read this post, over at MADE. So, I started to make it- not really paying close attention to how long it was going to be. I was just concerned with the bow-tie part. Once the pattern was cut, this was a really simple thing to sew up! I was done in no time. Then after watching several YouTube videos, I came across this one. (If you ever want to learn to tie a bow-tie, this is the one to watch.) After a few tries, I finally got it, and I realized it was never going to fit KPA. Luckily, it was the perfect size for another mister in my life, Jams. He really didn’t mind it on his neck. He wore it around for about 15 minutes. Snapping a picture was the tough part. But don’t worry, he was rewarded for his cooperation! Thanks Jams!
