I have evolved!

First I started making flowers and clips and they looked like this.

And I found an awesome ribbon site and ordered ribbon and found instructions to make bows and they looked like this.
Then I found another website with better instructions and I practiced more and
they looked like this.
Then I made some bang clips and they look like this. (and I still need to make more).
And I seen these on the internet and had to make them too.
Then...

I finally (after lots of practice) figured out how to make my boutique bows look better and now I can make these. And the layering is so cute!
And you can add embellishments and they look cute too.
And I was practicing with wider ribbon.
And I made up a few others after seeing some cute bows on the computer
and they looked like this.

I am so excited about the new hair bows and clips for the girls. I have a lot of neighbors that are doing a big ribbon order with me and I am going to teach them how to make hair bows. Anyone else can join us if they want to.

Such cute bows! I love the knitted baby hat. I have been wanting to try to make one that is really long to put babies in for photos - is that even possible? And are those things easy to use? And do you think I could use one to make that?
And I totally forgot you had a personal blog - so much for staying on top of my blog hopping :)

Oh and I love the purses - you crafty little thing you. Go Austin!

You could totally make it longer to put a baby in or whatever your going to do with it. They have different size looms. Go buy the Knifty Knitter Set at Walmart (it's $3 cheaper there than at Michael's). They are so easy to use. I Just finished a hat for me and I am working on my matching scarf. With the biggest loom I think I am going to make the girls little knitted skirts.
