Come See Me!

So as not to leave such a depressing post at the top, I'm adding another one! =)

I will also be doing a craft fair/bazaar (is there a difference in those two terms?) at the Jimtown High School. It's November 14. Should be a lot of fun, so all you Elkhart people come on out and say "Hi!"

On Another Note

Please pray that I get to feeling better soon! (Like, yesterday!) I've been battling the H1N1 for over 2 weeks, and now probably have some sort of bacterial thing going on. Fever, cough, congestion... At least I can swallow again! My family needs their mommy back - and I have too many things coming up now!! =(

Raising the Bar

Now even better - the Bar Bow:

 The larger three sizes are now made on french clips. This way, they lay flatter. I think it's a great improvement. Of course, they call always be put on an alligator clip if you'd prefer.

Also updated - the regular, little mini bar bows that are sold as a set. These are now made with just one looper, so they lay better too. What do you think?

Whoo Hoo Marabou

Finally updated my marabou picture:

Wow! Count 'em - 30 colors! Actually, this picture is already outdated, as I have a soft gray marabou on it's way. Oh well, maybe next year...

What Diana Wore The Other Day =)

I thought this outfit was just too cute - had to take a picture.

These are the 'Luxe Marabou Puffs - way too cute!

Silver Linings

You know the phrase - "Every cloud has a silver lining." Here's a couple lovely silver linings!

Sheer Rosette in Silver

Won't these be lovely with a black and silver holiday dress?

Just Havin' Some Fun!

People often tell me I'm creative, and I just laugh inside. Some days it flows, but most of the time, it's just not there. I have a dirty little secret I'll share - (I copy - alot). Shh, don't tell! I've got quite a collection of pictures of bows that I like, that I've gathered from the internet. The other day I was in the mood to try experimenting a little. So, I opened the file, and a little examination... a little experimenting... I don't usually end up with the same thing. But, that's probably better anyway! Here's a couple results from my messin' around:

Here's a super sweet bow made with double ruffle ribbon with sheer ribbon on top. I have to admit, this one was hard to make. Not difficult, just hard emotionally. See, I'm such a big double ruffle fan, that it's hard for me to add anything else to it. But, when I saw the finished product, I did fall in love with it. It's so soft and puffy, it's almost "marshmallowy"! Don't think that would work as a name though! =O

This turned out so cute! I forgot about this leopard-print sheer I had stashed away. It was fun to do something a little out of my normal color scheme/personal taste range. It's similar to a "Princess Bow," but with a "Gracie Bow" base and marabou thrown in.

Something for Mom!

Inspiration often comes in a variety of forms! I was helping my friend with a project, and it let to this:
These are really fun! They look fabulouse on a blouse, or in the hair. They're kind of a "Shabby Couture" style. Mounted on an alligator clip, just like the rest of my bows, so they're very versatile.

Of course, these don't have to be just for Mom! These are also sweet on your little one's head - maybe even matching set!
Still working on a name for these little beauts - any ideas?
p.s. I decided to settle on the simple - "Shabby Chic" clip
