NEW!! Stacked bows

I had made a small butterfly bow to go with Ciara's Easter dress and it would have been fine for any other occasion, but I then decided I wanted something fancier since it was Easter. That is when I decided it was time to learn how to make the "stacked bows". So, this was my first attempt (my spikes are a little short), but they are getting better. The fun thing is, you can use as many colors as you like!!

Small stacked bows (3" or smaller) $4-5.00 (depending on how elaborate they are).
Medium stacked bows (4") $7.00
Large stacked bows (larger than 4") $9.00

This is a medium. IF my spikes were right, it would measure just shy of 4".

Ciara in her Easter dress and new stacked bow on the way to the car Easter morning.

A simple small stacked bow $4.00.

New project photos as promised!

Here is Ciara's newest pillow! Great for Easter, yet it doesn't scream Easter, so I chose the wording "Happy Spring" and plan to use it for another 6 weeks or so.

Pillow case $10
w/ embroidery $15
w/ pillow $18

This is the first burp rag I've done with ribbon and it turned out great! It also has a strip of ribbon on the back at the bottom.

Embroidery only $8
w/ ribbon $9

For this, the request was for ribbon that was hot pink with black polka dots or vice versa. I had trouble finding 1 1/2" ribbon, so I got creative and used 7/8" and made 2 strips then added the little black ribbon to dress it up more. I LOVE THIS ONE!!!!

Embroidery only $8
w/ ribbon $9 (add'l small bows 50c ea.)
I also made a made a bib to match this (no ribbon)

If you know me very well, you know I'm always looking for a bargain! I found this little long-sleeved t-sirt at Target a few weeks ago for 75c!! I then made it an Easter shirt for Ciara. She has jeans with little flowers all over the front (sorry, didn't think to take a picture of them). Sorry it's wrinkly, she had it on all evening, then I took a picture of it after she was in bed for the night.

Embroidered shirt $8

Valentine's Day is upon us...

Valentine's Day is only a little more than a month away & yes, I would know! I will be 30!!! Not real sure what I think about that...

Anyway, here is a cute heart shaped bow. I can make it in any color combination of pinks, red, black, white. I think it's adorable that it even looks like it has an arrow going through it!

Heart...$3

Not sure you have a pink bow to match that one particular outfit or need a bow that you can use for Valentine's Day, yet it's versatile with other outfits as well.

As always, Medium $4, Large $5. I even have a mini for $3 (good for baby with small amt of hair).

Then, of course, there's the Valentine Pillowcase, great for crib or travel.

$10 for case only, $15 w/ embroidery, $18 w/ pillow.

Christmas ideas!

Matt's sister gave me the idea of doing a potholder set. It's hard to find potholders that don't have a pocket on them though, so I am pretty limited on colors.

I gave these to Michelle for watching Ciara this past weekend while Matt and I were at a convention. They look great with her black and tan granite counter tops!

Price dependent on cost of potholder and towel, as well as number of pieces.

I know it's hard to tell what this is in the picture...

Ponytail holder $4.00

Ponytail streamers $3.00

I am also working on some pillow cases, among other projects, so be sure to check back often!

Christmas is in the air you know!

Christmas Mini Mania !!

As part of last weekend's Bow Mania, I also made a lot of smaller Christmas bows too!

It's hard to see in the picture, but these 2 are made of ribbow with the opposite color stitching.

These are $3.00 each and would be super cute in pigtails (I'd use 2 of the same color though).

These are small bows (~3" across made of 5/8" gross grain ribbon)....$3.00 each.

They'd be cute stacked in the center of a larger bow you may already have or that I could make for you.

Also a ~3"...$3.00

Also ~3"...$3.00.

I will be putting this on top of a medium sized black bow to go with a Christmas dress Ciara has!

Any of these can be interchanged with the centers of the larger bows you see in the previous post. Just let me know which color combo you like!!

Christmas Mania !!

Last weekend was Bow Mania at our house! I don't even know how many bows I made! They were mostly Christmas bows that will be on display at the shop where I get my hair cut...Leanna's Hair and Tanning in Poseyville, but I can sell any of them to anyone interested, or make more!

In this post, all the bows are large bows that measure about 4" or more!

This is 2 separate bows put together which gives you more flexibility since they can be worn together (as seen below) or unclip the small bow to wear separately!

Large bow, w/ separate center bow $8.50.

Large only is $6.00.

Small only is $3.00.

I can also do this in a medium size for $7.50.

Same thing, but colors are reversed.

Large red bow (or green) $6.00 (seen here)

Medium $5.00

Christmas polka dots. Large $6.00, medium $5.00.

Embroidery as a Gift...

Embroidery makes GREAT GIFTS!! Here are some recent gifts I've made.

A bib and burp rag set for a friend.

Matching set $15

Finally, a gift for me!

Embroidery on a shirt...$8

(plus cost of shirt, or you provide shirt)

Upclose of the above

Bib, burp rag, receiving blanket...email or call me for pricing, as it will depend on the complexity of the designs.

Christmas Already!

I know it's a bit early to be thinking about Christmas, or is it? My sister convinced me that if I was going to sell any of these at my garage sale booth at church a couple weeks ago, I was going to have to have them made up, so here's my start on Christmas and it's only May...

Christmas tree, your choice on star color $3

Reindeer (black nose) or Rudolph.

Can also do blue snowflake bow (like background paper)

$4

Ghosts???

This cute little ghost is sure to complete your little one's Halloween outfit.
$3

4th of July

Unique bow with Star Spangled ribbon in the back with navy blue overlay. Trimmed in white.

The Star ribbon would also be pretty alone in other style bows.

I could probably do this as a 4 leaf clover for 4-H also!
