More new bows!

Here are some more bows I worked on this summer:

LSU football season is less than a month away!! Geaux Tigers!! I have some really cute purple/gold polka dot ribbon, as well as some purple/gold tiger stripe ribbon (stay tuned, bow in progress!) I also have some Saints ribbon for some of the "Who Dats" out there! Anyway here is a bow I made from the polka ribbon for a birthday girl!

LSU polka large bow $8


Navy/multi polka bow $8



Shocking pink/zebra large bow $8


A friend had an "ice cream social" themed birthday party for her little one, and here is the bow I made for the birthday girl.

Ice cream social boutique layered bow $8

I'm baaaack!

It's been over 6 months since my last post, and boy, have I been busy! Went back to work, a trip to Disneyworld, summer vacation, and now getting my little ones ready for school to start...whew! But yes, I am still making bows! And still taking orders, so email me at bow.girl@yahoo.com. Anyway, here are some I've been working on in my "hiatus" :-)

School bows! Several of my friends have little girls starting Kindergarten this year (sniff sniff), and many of them have the same school colors. So we have had to get creative with the oh-so-fabulous colors of navy and burgundy (yuk!) Not exactly the most sought after colors with 5-year-old little girls! Anyway, here are some bows I made for some friends for school uniforms.

Burgundy/navy dot large bow $8




Millenium blue/preppy stripe large bow $8



Burgundy/fall daisy large bow $8



And of course, any of the printed ribbon can be made into a medium bow, if needed.

Matching sets!

Here are some matching bows I did for some Same Monogram shirts. My daughter absolutely loves the Rapunzel shirt, and now wants one for Disney...along with the Minnie shirt and the Jessie shirt, etc. Aimee has so many cute things, it is hard to choose!

Large bow with double ribbon $9

My little Valentine's cutie pie!

Aimee from Same Monogram made my two little ones matching "conversation hearts" shirts for Valentine's Day...as you can see, my little Avery's shirt says "cutie pie" (for obvious reasons!) and my son's (not shown) says "hug me" since he is such a little hugger! Anyway, I have this really cute conversation hearts ribbon, so I whipped up a bow to match...I think it's pretty cute! Although it may be the cutie pie herself that makes me a little biased!

Large "conversation hearts" bow $9

Check out Aimee's other Valentine's creations at http://www.samemonogram.blogspot.com/! Love her stuff!!

Valentine's, Mardi Gras, St. Pat's!

I'm working hard on that New Year's resolution, ha ha! These are some bows I've been working on for the upcoming holidays...and they are on the blog in time for orders!! Yay!! These next few months are so busy for us...not only do we have Valentine's, Mardi Gras, St. Patrick activities, but my birthday is in February, and both kids are in March! And this year, we are throwing in a Disney trip just for kicks! Just trying to take it one day at a time...but anyway, these bows are medium sizes, but of course I can make a large bow using any of this ribbon by layering it on top of a solid color. I made a Mardi Gras bow for my little one last year with the Mardi Gras dots layered on top of a bright yellow ribbon that was super cute! And this year, Aimee at Same Monogram made my little ones shirts with conversation hearts on them, so I'm making Avery a layered bow with the conversation heart ribbon to match (picture to come!!)

Medium Mardi Gras dots $6


Medium Shamrock $6


Medium "heart camo" $6

Medium conversation hearts $6


Medium Valentine stripe $6

Christmas bows...better late than never!

OK, I know I said I would work on the Christmas tree and Snowman clippies, but unfortunately, time was an issue this Christmas getting orders done and playing Santa (as every year) and it didn't get done :( However, I am currently working on Valentine's bows, so stay tuned!

I wanted to come up with cute gifts for the kids' preschool classmates, so OF COURSE it was a no-brainer to make bows for the little girls! I made a variety of bows in Christmas colors and patterns (solids, dots, and stripes)...medium size for the 2 and 3 year old girls in my son's class, and large size for the 4 and 5 year old girls in my daughter's class. I thought they turned out pretty cute! What did the boys receive, you ask? Certainly not bows, right? The 2-3 year old boys received Snoopy Christmas socks, and the 4-5 year old boys received Grinch Christmas socks! Anyway, I hope everyone had a very merry Christmas and a blessed new year! Hope all your resolutions are accomplished! (Maybe I should make a resolution to get my holiday bows on my blog in a timely manner, just a thought...)

Medium lime green stripe bow $6


Medium red stripe bow $6


Large lime/red bow $8

Large white/red/green bow $8

Large red polka/lime bow $8

Happy Thanksgiving!

So here is my Thanksgiving turkey (and it's the closest I'll get to making anything with a turkey this Thanksgiving...hee hee!) I've been wanting to try these little "ribbon sculptures" for a while, and of course I wait until 2 days before Thanksgiving to throw together a turkey for my little one! My next try will be a snowman, so stay tuned for that one...and if you would like to order one, I'll try to whip one up a little faster this time! These are $4. Your little one can wear it solely as a clip, or you can clip it onto a bow as I have done here:

And since it is Thanksgiving, I would like to say that I am so thankful for my beautiful family, my health, my beloved friends, and of course, a gracious and loving Savior, Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with all of these gifts. Anyway, hope you all have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving holiday! Enjoy!

Bow holder for little sis!

A while back, I made a bow holder for Allie, the daughter of a very sweet friend of mine. Her little sister, Kate, is now 7 months old and is becoming quite the "bow girl" herself! :) Anyway, mom loved the first bow holder, so she requested one to match little sis Kate's room as well. This one is a little smaller than Allie's, but made the same way. Mom just told me the colors in her room and I whipped this one up for her! It is $16.

Here is a closeup:

I'm trying to come up with a cute and clever name for these bow holders...any suggestions? "Like" my Facebook page and post your suggestion on my wall, and if I use it, maybe I'll award you a free bow or two, who knows???

Made to Match Monogrammed Bow

I made this bow to match a little girl's dress for a friend of mine...Aimee at Same Monogram monogrammed a pretty cursive "M" on it for me. The center knot is made with a diamond-print ribbon. I love green and brown together...so pretty for fall!

This is a large bow and it is $12.00.

More pretty fall bows!

Here are some more bows I've been working on:

Large lime/zebra bow $9.00. This also looks great in hot pink or aqua blue!

Large layered "trick-or-treat" bow $9.00


Large red dot/apple green Christmas bow $8.00

Small soccer print bows $4.00 ea. I did a set of 2 for a friend whose little girl is playing soccer this fall, and wears pigtails! How cute!!

More monogrammed bows!

I put together a bow basket for a silent auction for an upcoming fundraiser for some friends (their almost 2-year-old daughter is going through chemo treatments at St. Jude for leukemia :( and the funds raised will go toward travel expenses, etc.), and with the help of Aimee at Same Monogram I was able to do some monogrammed bows. I thought they turned out really well!

Large white/pink with monogrammed ballet slipper $12.00

Large gold/purple with monogrammed pawprints (geaux tigers!) $12.00

Large black/sparkly gold with monogrammed fleur-de-lis (Who dat?) $12.00

There are plenty of other options for monogramming, including initials, just let me know what you might like and we can do it! I'm thinking I might monogram a pretty Christmas bow for my little one :)

LSU layered boutique bow

Here is a new layered boutique bow I made for Avery with the new LSU collegiate ribbon...so cute! She has gotten so many compliments on it! Unfortunately, since this ribbon is licensed, I cannot put this one up for sale :( Buuuuttt...I can make a bow with any combination of your favorite team's colors, with polka dots, stripes, etc! A bow like this is $8.00.

Bows that make you go "Boo!"

I know, I know, Halloween is a little less than 2 months away...but I get a head start on everything! I already have the kids' Halloween costumes, for crying out loud! Anyway, these are some Halloween bows I've done...I'm working on a few other designs, so stay tuned!

Large "Candy corn" bow $8.00



Medium "Spooky spots" bow $6.00


Medium "Trick or Treat" bow $6.00

Monogramming!!

I'm so excited to announce that monogramming is now available for my bows! My sweet friend Aimee at Same Monogram is doing it for me, because God knows I am challenged when it comes to sewing! The monogramming can primarily be done on medium or large bows because of the ribbon size, but I am also thinking of some new projects that can be monogrammed as well...stay tuned! Anyway, if you would like to have a bow monogrammed, $4.00 will be added to the price of the bow. Here are some examples of what I have done so far:


The pony-o is $9.00 with the monogramming ($5.00 without). We can also make the letter a little bigger if you like.





This is a large bow (2 1/4" ribbon), and is $12.00 with the monogram.


And don't forget, my 30% sale is still going on!!! You can get some great deals...if you would like a monogrammed bow, the 30% only applies to the bow itself, not the monogram. So a bow like the one above would be $9.60 with the discount, which I still think is a great deal! Take advantage and stock up today!!

More school bows!

These are a couple more school bows done in navy and khaki that I did for a customer. These can be done in any combination of colors/dots/stripes.

This one is a 2-layer boutique bow and is $9.




Boutique layered bow $8

Geaux beauxs!! :)

OK, I know the title is silly, but I couldn't resist. I'm coming up with some bows and other little projects for football season, and since we bleed purple and gold around here...

These are large bows and are $8.00. I can also make them in any other size or in any other combination of colors. So you don't have to be an LSU Tigers fan to place an order! :) Yes, I'll even make a Bama bow...whaaaat?





This is a pony-o I made for my little girl. It is actually made with a yellow ribbon rather than the gold.





Aimee from Same Monogram put a monogram on for me. The pony-o with the monogram is $9.00, without the monogram it is $5.00.

Large bows for Fall!

Here are some large bows I've been working on:


This one is great for back-to-school...I know, hard to believe that it's here already! This is a navy polka dot with khaki knot. I can also do any combination of khaki and navy in any size or style bow. This one is $8.00.




Layered pink/brown dot bow $9.00




Layered brown/aqua stripe bow $9.00




This one has to be my fave...I love green and brown together. :) It is layered, so it is $9.00.



I love this one too...it is also $9.00. There is actually fabric to match this pink floral ribbon at Hobby Lobby! Hmmm...I feel a project coming on for Aimee over at Same Monogram...:)
