As if I need one more hobby

July 20, 2009 in bows,Uncategorized

I keep seeing all of these cute bows everywhere. And tons of people make them.

So, I start thinking, if other people can make them, then why can't I? Sure, I already do blog designs, and have a full time job, but what's one more thing?

I'm not incredibly good at it, but I would say I'm learning. There is no glue showing, so that's a start, right?

This is the first one I made for Izzy for the Fourth. It is red, white and blue and matches her dress. (Please ignore her lack of pose, she's getting quite stubborn lately...what am I saying, she's been stubborn!)

And, the second one I made.

And a couple more I made after my wonderful step-dad sent me a bow maker.

Those little ones sure did look cute on Izzy's pigtails today.

So, since I'm a changed momma, I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of these in pictures lately!

When I have time, of course!

I was suppose to be creative this year too.

Can I blame it on my broken sewing machine? Maybe because I can't find my glue gun?

Your bows look great.

Super cute! I want a bow! You need to send Joe this link, he was a little concerned it wasn't going to work as good as you hoped.

Bow making is insanely easy! Good job! My "business" of bows went up in smoke. Too much competition on ebay! (I don't recommend that, btw!)

okay what is a bow maker? You mean I could have saved the hundreds, no thousands I have spent on millions of hairbows!

Part of me is really, really glad that we had a boy. Otherwise I'd be spending way too much time and money making cute things for a little girl to wear. :)
