Hair Bow Holders

I've previously mentioned that I was going to make hair bow holders, and ta-da! I have two complete.

On my Etsy storefront, I have listed, under the Wall Plaque, an option of adding ribbon to the bottom to create a hair bow holder. My very first Etsy sale was this option for a lucky little girl named Olivia! :) I thought it turned out great!

Embroidered Hair Bow Holder $24

This next hair bow holder is an experiment. I wanted to do a fun and whimsical hair bow holder for a more playful room. This is a 12" diameter circle cut from multiple layers of chipboard--very light weight.

The edge is finished with thin ribbon (you can barely see the light purple ribboned edge), and the initials and background are cut from paper. The back of the piece is also covered in paper.

Holes for ribbon placement are finished with nickel grommets. Ribbon is tied in a way so that the holder is flush with the wall. Coordinating buttons and thread top off tied ribbon. Price would be $20.

So--what do you think? Is this hair bow holder worthy of an Etsy listing?

This last image is another bucket hat I just finished for a friend. Just wanted to show that I can do short names, as well as the initials you saw last week. I'm hoping I get a few more new things finished this week to share with you next Tuesday. Tuesday is my unofficial update day for this blog, so check back weekly!

Have a great rest of the week!

Freedom Bows • Red, White & CUTE!

I have always loved celebrating Independence Day.  Not only am I thankful for all those who helped give this country her freedom, but getting together with family and friends in the heat of the summer, and around good food and drinks, just makes it that much sweeter.

So to honor the upcoming national holiday, I wanted to make something for you to adorn your little girls sweet little heads.

Baby Showers Bring May Flowers

So, I've been on yet another temporary hiatus, but now back--and hopefully in full swing.

This past weekend, I helped hostess three, yep THREE showers (and yes, in ONE weekend).  Two of those showers were Baby Showers for two very dear friends Jayma & Cacey.  You've seen a few things I already made for Jayma's baby, Molly, but we kept Noah's momma Cacey in suspense.  Haha!

Remember if you want to order something, just email me at the address listed on the right side-bar, and we'll make it happen!  Everything is custom-made to you and your needs!

NOW AVAILABLE--HAIR BOWS!!!

YAY!  I am now offering bows, and I LOVE it!  They are SO FUN!  Makes me want a little girl that much more.  :)

I can add personalization--names can be added to ribbon that is 7/8" wide or greater, and initials can be added to covered buttons.  I may incorporate some appliqué patches into a few.  I can also add cutesy buttons--just let me know what you're wanting.

The first few photos are of a super cute outfit I made for my BFF Tiffany's baby girl, Norah (SURPRISE!)  I thought she needed a cute little outfit to wear this fall to support her favorite college team.  RTR, baby! :)  I made a matching bow with houndstooth and red ribbon, so her outfit would be complete from head to, well, bottom!

This is a skort, with full skirt around the shorts--perfect for presh little girls on the move.

I wanted to do something other than satin stitch around the edge, so this has a blanket stitch around the edge.  Can do either one though!  I kinda like being able to see the raw edge (it won't fray--it's been treated so that it won't)

This is a "naked" view of the houndstooth and red bow.  All alligator clips will be finished like this.

Inside has a no-slip velvet ribbon, for added staying power!  And I know my nails look rough.  :(

Molly's first bow, though she'll have to be a little older before she can were this small french clip bow.  The green and pink are little off in these pics...

Caroline is 4, so this bigger french clip bow will fit her sweet head perfectly.  This is 7/8" ribbon.

Girly Girl Birthday Wear

Andrew, from the previous post, has a sister, Abby, whose birthday will be a week or two before his. Her mom wants to give her sweet little girl a girly-girl birthday outfit--a pink leotard. I REALLY hope she has one of those fabulous little homemade tutus to go with it! I was quite nervous when I started this one, since it was my first embroidery on spandex--YIKES! Lots can go wrong, but thankfully, it didn't! I even made Abby a sweet hair clip to match the butterfly on her leotard. :)

Bella's Birthday Gear

One of my sweet sorority sisters asked me to do some clothes for her daughter first birthday, which I gladly completed.  The cupcake appliqué is an original design, that was first done by hand, but now I have digitized for my embroidery machine.

Bella's birthday theme colors were red and pink--namely red with white polka dots in leu of the Mommy & daughter's love of Minnie Mouse.  I'm thrilled with the fabrics I was able to find for her.  Meredith sent me the bloomers to embroider, and the little cupcake is a hair clip!  How cute?!  I'm so proud of myself for that one!  :)
