 My last post was almost 3 ago. During the time off, I have competed a second masters degree, bought our first home and changed jobs twice. The only portion of my business that I kept up an running was the face paining. Well I am not planning on changing my day job any time soon and my school books are list on half.com for sale!!! When we moved, I was forced to face all of the buying and lack of sales, in the form of boxes and containers filled with ribbon, tulle, elastics and the list goes on. Now that I have some time and clear vision about what I want in my business, I am back to give this another try. Future posts about parties, tutu's, face painting and y ups and downs as  working mom with a dream that just won't go away... so let's make the dream come true!!!

bitty Blue

bitty Blue is a special request bow for my munchkin. Using 5/8" navy blue grosgrain ribbon, I attempted my first 2" bitty bow. I have been using the Brilliant Bowmaker snap templates and I am starting to really love them. I would love to be authentic and hand fold and crease all my bows but... some have talent and some BUY IT till they can MAKE IT!!!

LOL!

Forgive the lighting!

Rickety Rac

Someone posted a really cool link to create a Rickety Rac flower  and I was inspired to follow the tutorial. The only ric rac ribbon I could find was orange but I really like it. I had trouble finding a center for this but I used a fuschia flower center that actually looks orange against the ribbon. This was a quick flower to create. The tutorial added the flower to a snap clip but I haven't decided which kind of backing I'll use for this. I might even make it a brooch.

Wear your heart on your...

Wear your heart on your... head. A cute little clippie set for Valentine's Day. I attached 3/8" red ribbon with white hearts to a single prong alligator clip. I think these are best without a center or an applique.

2 Hearts

2 Hearts become 1 set. It seems I am late jumping on the Valentine's Day wagon. But here is a simple clippie set for the munchkin to don during the month on February. It's a white partially pre-lined white (single prong) alligator clip. I used a sequin heat applique. I arranged it so one can be worn in each side.
