It's all about the BOWS!

I love making hair bows. If you have a little time, making your own boutique hair bows can be very cost efficient. We will definitely need some bigger boutique bow very soon since my daughter has more hair than I know what to do with... but that's another post.
After making a few bows, you will have a very extensive ribbon collection. Before you know it, you will need some type of ribbon storage or hair bow holder.  Sometimes I just purchase bows that generally match most of her clothing. Whether the bows are handmade or store bought...A GIRL HAS TO HAVE BOWS!!

I have been look at different polymer clay hair bow centers and decided to try making one. Here are my first polymer clay clippies. I tried this design because it looked simple. Circle and triangles...I love basic shapes! It doesn't get much easier than that!!

What type of hair accessories are you making?

Love is in the air!

I had some time to practice embroidery with the sewing machine. I embroidered Kay's initials in this zebra print dress. The hair bow was made with some ribbon scraps and a heart shaped button.

This is a little valentine outfit for Kay. I sewed the heart, letter k, and bow onto a plain white t-shirt. The bow is made from valentine ribbon. I love the tulle skirt! That might be my next project.

This is another version of the same idea :)

Winter Wonderland Part 2

Here are a couple sets of winter themed hair bows that I made for my daughter. The snowflakes are buttons that I have sewn on the ribbon. The snowman bow is made from glitter ribbon and glitter craft embellishments. I love these, but I can't wait to try some for Valentine's Day.  

Well Hello There

Hi and welcome to my blog. My name is Christina. I'm a wife, mother, and teacher. I started this blog to share my journey through crafting, cooking, and my new Pinterest addiction. If you haven't heard of Pinterest... (STOP NOW and click this link NOW!) The rest of this will make no sense what-so-ever. Let's continue...My husband A is a great husband and terrific dad. KayBear is my lovely daughter and model for most of my crafts. Thanks for tuning in...

This is where all the magic happens...my craft/ guestroom. It's not much, but it's MY space. I like having an area to craft, gather ideas, and just unwind. 

The Beginning... Bows, Bows, and MORE BOWS!

This is how it all started. My good friend Abby gave me hair bows at my baby shower. She took the pictures for our newborn shoot. (SN: Check out her awesome blog...she ROCKS!) I started with a few bows and now I have 2 craft tables, 2 sewing machines (thanks ma), and more ribbon than I'll ever know what to do with... So I would like to share with you:
