You got me twisted!!!

Sooooo.... I finally attempted the twisted boutique bow, which by far is my favorite style. I received my Brilliant Bowmaker Snap templates today and "You got me twisted!!!" Although I am not a brilliant bowmaker yet... I am quite pleased with my first attempt. I definitely think that using non-printed ribbon will be easier to manipulate. I realized one of my loops was bigger but was unable to adjust because the ribbon is stiff from the printed pattern. Well I certainly have a lot more days to practice... 
353 to be exact!

I used 7/8" green zebra ribbon. I like this ribbon because it is solid green on the opposite side.

Here is the tutorial that I will be watching on a daily basis until I get this one right!!!

You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar...

Today I learned what vinegar is good for.... (insert drum roll) CLEANING!!!! Today I tried out a green cleaning mixture of vinegar that I read in Parents Magazine. I thought is was a crazy idea but my floors are shining and my counters are clean and most importantly. I didn't have to leave the room or hold my breather till I was finish. I put my 2 year old in her high chair and gave her some objects to be creative with and started my green cleaning project. The smell of the vinegar doesn't last more than a minute or two. I think I will definitely try this again using some of the tips I found on Vinegar Tips.
