flower headband

i am officially the worst sick person. ironically, i am like a reverse hypocrondriac (this is ironic since i am overly neurotic about all other aspects of my life). when i get a cold i refuse to see a doctor until it is completely necessary (aka i am passing out due to lack of oxygen during a coughing fit). i hate taking medicine. i never "go to bed early and nurse my up and coming cold"; i think i actually believe that i can fight it off with pure will power. so obviously, when i am sick i refuse to stay home from work unless i am sent home which was the case today...

some people may like staying home from work sick- lounging around in their pajamas all day, eating comfort food and watching horrible day time television, incredibly happy that they are getting paid to do nothing. i think i too may like this if i wasn't the worst person in the world at "sitting around and relaxing". i get too bored too quick, especially when the only thing on tv are god awful day time soap operas. anyways, about two hours into my "healing sick day" i got a brilliant idea...

last year, my girlfriend, christa, bought this amazing flower crochet headband from anthropologie for some exorbitant amount of money that i was incredibly, incredibly jealous of. ever since, i have been looking for a cheaper knock off and have sadly been unsuccessful. well, thanks to youtube and my new basic knowledge of crochet i made my very own... hopefully my sickly germs don't stay alive in the wool...

my pretty flowers

the headband
(yes, it is supposed to be wider on the right side - that is where the flower goes)

finished it off with a pretty purple button i had lying around
