Vintage Rose and Purple Headband

I am such a lucky Aunt, I have so many nieces and one in particular I get to see on a regular basis.  One day she came to my house with a cute outfit to wear and I knew right a way that I needed to make her a matching headband.  The colors of the outfit were so fun.

 The headband turned out perfect

$8

And this little cutie was a great model for her new headband.

The Elegant Peachy-Pink and White Headband

This is my all time favorite headband.  I was asked to make a peachy pink headband for a wedding reception and a photo of the dress it was to go with was sent to me.  I spent several hours getting the headband just right and when I was done I couldn't believe how beautiful it turned out.  It was such a hit, that I had 3 more orders of this particular headband and I even made one for my own girls.  This would even make a great Baby Headband.

I am so in love with this Headband!

The Christmas Season of Bows has Begun

I am so excited, the Christmas Season of Bows has begun (actually it started 2 weeks ago).  I loved getting into the Season with my first request for Bows to match Christmas Dresses and an Outfit.  I had so much fun putting each of these bows together.

I am looking forward to many more fun Bows and Headbands this Season.

Navy Blue, Grey and Burgundy Headbands

I just love when people ask me to create bows or headbands in certain colors.  I recently was asked to make headbands in the colors of Navy Blue, Grey and Burgundy for family photos.  The color combination was remarkable and they were so fun to make.

Thanksgiving Skirts and shirt appliques

I can't believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  Our family has decided to do Thanksgiving a little differently this year.  We are going to visit family and have a large Brunch instead of the traditional Turkey Dinner (I will prepare one later in December).

Since my girls are still young and enjoy me dressing them up in festive outfits, this year I am making Thanksgiving skirts and Turkey appliques (that I will once again baste onto shirts as I did last year).

Here is one of the cute Skirts I am making.

I am also happy to make one for you too.  The skirts are $12.50 each**.  You can select from the 6 fabric choices below.

 I am also have these cute Turkey appliques that can be added to your child's shirt.  Each applique is $5** (ribbon may vary).

I also have Turkey Bows available.  They can be found here.

**Shipping is an additional $3.50 for the skirts and $1.50 for the appliques.  

I accept payment via paypal.  Please leave me a comment with your paypal if you wish to order.  

Thanks!

Flapper Headband

I had the fun request to make a Flapper Headband for a Halloween this year.  The costume had come with a simple standard Flapper Headband and the Mom wanted something more original and true to the era.  I looked online for ideas for a true era Flapper Headband and then went to work creating a simple yet fun Headband.

The Headband turned out fabulous (and lucky for me, my baby girl may be able to borrow and wear this costume in a few years).

My two oldest daughters had so much fun acting as models and trying on the headband.

Apple Dumpling Costume

With Halloween coming the end of this month, I am preparing my Children's Halloween costumes.  Although I told myself that I did not have time to make costumes this year and told my kids that we would pick them out at the store.  I find myself making them.  My Husband actually prefers Homemade Costumes over store bought.  As I got out the Halloween Decoration and Costumes, I came across the first costume I had made for my oldest daughter.

I had made her an Apple Dumpling costume.  It was her first Halloween and I really wanted to make her a costume, as my own Mother had made most of our Halloween costumes.  I went to the Fabric Store one evening with my daughter and perused the pattern books and came across an Apple Dumpling Costume.  Being that my daughter was only 7 months old at the time, there wasn't very many costumes in her size to choose from.

I spent several evenings working on her costume, but the end result was adorable.  She was so cute, and I am sad to say that it was never worn again.  My other 2 girls were summer babies and therefore this costume was a a bit too big for a 2 or 3 month old.  Maybe one day it will be worn again.

Elephant Bow

I saw some bows that looked like Elephants one day and I couldn't help but make a set for my daughter.  I had a fun time and aren't they cute?

 I love finding new ways to manipulate ribbon into new sculptures.

$3 each or 2 for $5

Summer Sherbet Bow

Over the summer, I was asked to make a bow to match a fun floral print summer dress.  After much thought on the perfect color combination for a bow to match, I came up with this beautiful Summer Bow.  The top green ribbon, I have had for several years and used on different bows, I used the last of it on this bow and I am not sure if it is still available anywhere.  If I find it again, I hope to make this same bow for my girls.

Ghost and Pumpkins and Spiders, Oh My!

My kids are so excited for Halloween and have been excitedly deciding their Halloween Costumes for this year.  Because of their excitement for Halloween I sat down one evening and made some new Halloween bows for them.  Especially since they have been wearing their hair down more and just want a small clip to put in their hair.

I saw a really cute spider Bow on Pinterest and made my own version.  All 3 of my girls love this one.

 $4

My youngest really loves the Spider and had fun modeling it for me.  

 I found this really cute Pumkin Korker on Pinterest also and it had a link to a Tutorial, so I cooked some ribbon one afternoon and wallah.

$4

Lastly, I made this really cute Ghost Clippie.  I had seen several on Pinterest and so I knew my 2 older girls would love wearing it to pull just their bangs back.

$2

The tutorial for the Pumpkin Korker can be found at: Funky Polkadot Giraffe

Barefoot Sandals for Baby

In the last year, I have become an Aunt to three new nieces.  It has been so fun.  I saw these cute Baby Sandals on Pinterest and decided that since I had the supplies on hand, I would make a pair for my cute niece that comes to my house on a regular basis.  I whipped some up while she was napping one afternoon and when she woke up I tried them on her.

My Niece modeling her new Barefoot Sandals:

  It was so fun and I have since made a couple more.  There are so many color combination possibilities.  I look forward to making more in the future.

$4 a pair

You can find a Tutorial at the Sunshine Shoppe Blog.

Pink and White Onesie Dress

I recently had the opportunity to help plan a baby shower for a neighbor with our Activity Day Girls (ages 8-11).  It was so much fun and I had the pleasure of making another onesie dress.  This time I picked a pink fabric to make the dress. 

 I added a checked pink and white elastic to the waist and then a detachable white flower.  I also added a cute bow and button to the back (but forgot to take a picture of it).

$20

Here is a close up of the white bow.

I finished the ensemble off with a cute shabby headband.

$5

The only sad thing about making these cute onesie dresses is that I have never actually gotten to see one of them on a little baby (in person or picture).  Maybe one day...

Patriotic Hair Fun

 My Girls and I have been having fun together making some new Headbands and Bows for July.  We are very Patriotic at our house and they seem to love wearing some sort of Patriotic Bows the whole month of July.

Blue and Red Glitter Round Bow - $3

My youngest daughter who is just over 18 months old, just started getting hair and she has followed suit of her older sisters, in inheriting their mother's very fine, thin hair.  And she has the added bonus of having the least amount at the soon to be age of 2.  So with this I decided that since we can only get 2 very small pigtails in her hair, that she would need some smaller bows than the ones we have.

Starry Mini Bows - $4 set

Starry Mini Bow - $2.50

And of course we finished off our set with a new headband, that any of the girls can wear (this can easily be made into a regular headband).

Red White and Blue Flower Trio Headband - $8

Don't forget to check out last years Patriotic Fun, as I still have limited quantities still available.

Denim and Navy Blue Bows

Just finished up some cute bows in the Blue Family:  I found denim ribbon to be a bit more expensive, as it only came in spools of 4 yards, yet the same price as most 1 1/2" ribbons in a 5 yard spool.

Denim & White:

$5

 Denim and White Lace:

$5

 Navy Blue and White Polka Dot:
