Fall Decor – Acorns and Spiders

Fall Decor – Acorns and Spiders

Earlier in October I happened upon Thrifty Decor Chick’s They’re Baaaack! post and loved what she did to her staircase.  So I pinned it!  And then I headed to Meijer to get some wooden acorns (50% off!) and then to Michael’s to see what Martha Stewart items were left.  No mice cut-outs, but spiders.  And have

Crafting for a Cause

I’ve been busy working on a couple of Flower Pot Hair Bow “Bouquets”. Both are for gift basket raffles at separate charity events.  Hopefully they will be well liked. But more importantly I hope they will raise some $$ to kick CANCER in the ass.

Hair Bows

My most recent order included some of these cute bows. One was a gift for an OSU fan. Another one for a Green Bay fan. The larger purple one was customized to match a dress for a family photo. And the rest were just random “girl” colors. All were fun to make!

Flower Girl Accessories & A New Hair Bow Holder

This weekend I got to work on a couple of fun crafts (orders!) for co-workers.  The yellow and white bows and headband are for a co-worker’s wedding…flower girl accessories!! I was also asked to do a hair bow holder for a little girl who has a brown, pink and white room.  Best thing about the

New Ribbon Makes Me Happy!

I’m on a girls-only trip and the only sad thing about it is that I got an order of ribbon right before I left.  (Just kidding dear, I miss you AND the kids terribly.)  I love the fun patterns and cannot wait to put together some adorable bows – both for my own girls and for some orders
