Didn't name my bow... and the post is late! If nothing else is clear. I have to buy a camera of my own! So for the quality of today's photo. It just doesn't do the bow justice. Both the cameras I usually use were not available. Boo hoo!!! I created a layered bow. the bottom bow is solid blue 7/8" grosgrain. The top is 7/8" white ribbon with blue printed flowers. I folded the solid blue grosgrain in the center for the knot center.

I promise to post another picture of this bow with my new camera... when I get one.

Bow without a Name

Day 63

Ok... so i pride myself in coming up with snazzy names for each of my bows... i know I already have a Madame Butterfly but when i look at this bow, that's what I see. To avoid being redundant this is the Bow without a Name. The original plan was to make this a pinwheel bow... then i decided to add some spikes... then i couldn't get the edges cut properly... then i remembered this is a project that is under construction for the next 302 days... so it's OK if i am not pleased with each and every bow right now... its' OK if my plan doesn't go according to plan. It's about the journey. i have joined some wonderfully supportive groups and i am learning each and every day how to perfect this new love i have for crafting hair bows and accessories.

My Lucky Bow

I don't have many friends who really celebrate St. Patrick's Day but I thought I dabble in a little green in honor of the upcoming holiday. Of course, the munchkin won't be wearing my creation on St. Pat's Day because as I have mentioned before she doesn't like to wear a bow for too long. Today I sent her to school with two bows and when I arrived there were 4 parts. So this creation... My Lucky Bow goes to the bow holder so the munchkin can't take it apart!

A Cheetah Never Tells

Day 60

Which bow did I buy at the craft store?

Well...

a Cheetah Never Tells...

but I do!!! 

The bow on the bottom is a part of a 4 piece set that I bought. The brown cheetah like ribbon is the bow that I created. I think my bows... well some of them are major store quality. It's moments like this that keep me learning this craft!
