A couple weeks ago, the dandelions were in bloom.
Yes, "bloom". Because dandelions are flowers.
Obviously, dandelion crowns were in order. I tried three different versions: the cut stem variety (hated it, required tools), the French braided way (heeeey, I'm all thumbs!), and the woven way (so visual! so easy!).
Just about every day now, I get to practice.
We go out for a walk (princess garb is optional).
We gather dandelions (long stems are NOT optional).
I follow the illustration above while we walk .23 miles per hour.
I jerry-rig the ends together to form a circular, crown-y thing.
A happy princess dons her tiara and is Queen of the Backyard/Kitchen/Everything.
I haven't come up a great way of finishing off the ends (connecting the start to the end in a way that will hold), so any suggestions are welcome.
And if a dandelion really looks like this when it's set on fire? I'M SETTING THEM ALL ON FIRE.
Happy Thursday, yo.
