oopsies or not?
Okay, I found this great site for some new bow designs, really great! So, I'm all excited to make them. I dive in, create a tester or two (how do you think Diana's bow collection is so large already?), then start in making them full swing. I'm about 3/4 way through my colors when I realize I'm doing them backwards. Not that it looks bad, just different. They don't look bad - in fact, I really liked them. Until I realized my mistake and made some the correct way - and liked it a lot better. Imagine that. So now I have a bunch of bows made the wrong way, even though they still look good. What do I do?? Well.... I now have TWO new styles of bows!! =) Here's a picture - the first is the oopsey, and the second is the correct.
I call the first one a "butterfly" and the second one by its correct name, "pinwheel". I did these in 1 1/2 inch ribbon, and now I'm working on a smaller version with 7/8 ribbon. I'm really excited about them - I think they'll be really popular. I can also stack a smaller on a larger, creating endless options! So, which do you like better? The "oopsey" or the correct one?

I think I like the butterfly better! But they are both very cute. Can't wait to see the 7/8 inch ones. . .I'll be your best customer! :)
Actually, Natalie, you already saw the 7/8 inch ones. That's what I had in Diana's hair at sewing yesterday. They're the "small" size.
p.s. - I'm glad you like them. I hope others do too, since I've got a bunch made!! =O
DeAnn - Bob has the screen and trays of slides set up in the basement and we have been looking at old slides of the children. What fun. We really want to put them on DVD. When Martha was a little girl she always had bows in her hair once she had enough hair to put them in, to match either her dress or 3/4 socks. I never thought of the band though because Martha did not have as much hair as Diane does. Diana's curly hair helps make them look good. This really brings back memories and I like both of the ones you made. Luv ya all much. Arlene
Congratulations on your new "bow" website! It is very nice!
You have been very blessed with a precious little girl to try them out on and, thankfully, she enjoys wearing them! I, too, like the butterfly better. Love, Mom
Thanks, Mom! Glad you like it, too! Hopefully they'll sell at shows. I still like the "pinwheel" better. Personal preference, I guess. =)
I like the second one better (the pinwheel) but I would buy either...
