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.

Wedding order

About a month ago (see how far behind I am), I had an order for 8 of the Sheer Princess Bows with spikes for a wedding. I was pleased with how cute they turned out. Wish I could see all those pretty little girls with their bows!

Sheer Princess - Stepped Up

I have a friend who's great at coming up with new combinations for me to try out! She liked both the sheer princess and tailored bows, and was having a hard time deciding. We finally came up with a sheer princess with spikes! I was really pleased with how cute it came out:

So, thanks for the inspiration, Rachel - too bad I already have a Rachel bow, so I can't name this after you! =)

Sheer Princess Bow colors

I've added to the selection of sheer princess bows, because of their popularity. Available in-stock colors are:Light Yellow, Light Pink, White, Aqua, Pink, Orchid, Brown, Black and Ivory.

Is this "princess" or what?

Here's another brand new style! This one seemed to say "princess" to me:

I think this one is just gorgeous! I'd love to see it on a baby's head! It's made with two layers of sheer ribbon, with a satin rosette in the center. The only issue I have with this one is how to seal the ends. I can't use the flame, because the ribbon just curls up, and the fray-check leaves a white line. I think a wood-burning tool would work, just haven't tried it yet. I'm also thinking of marabou behind this one - I'll definitely have to try that! =)
