Summertime, Bees, and Honeycombs

Busy buzzing bumblebees with their big furry behinds and flower fascinations always catch my eye in the summertime. Sure, there’s that little bit of fear whenever I see one, but I also love watching how determined they are: searching for pollen in every nook and cranny.

In honor of bees everywhere, and in line with all of the honeycomb trendy geometric designs I’m seeing, let’s gather some hexagon DIYs together. There’s even an adorable girls pinafore with bee-shaped wings if you’re ready to get out your sewing machine. Then we can all go buzz around the flowers together!

Homemade stamps are the perfect way to create exactly what you want – and then stamp all over. This stamp is brilliant because it can create a continuous pattern.

I wish I could sew well enough to make this adorable romper, but then again, maybe my 5 year old is too old for it. The bee wings are amazing, don’t you think?
