Craft Corner

I've never considered myself to be a crafty person and have never really had the desire to learn how to do most crafts but decided one day that I would like to make the girls some bows since I keep buying them but don't really like the ones that they have out there. Well over the past few months I have been accumulating different ribbon and one night just started to piece them together and have found that I really, really enjoy making them. It's kind of addicting that I get to be creative and make each one different and think of different designs, etc. The girls stand next to me and watch and they have picked out a bunch of differend colors of the bows they want made. It's been a fun little project for all 3 of us. This white one is Devyn's favorite and she calls it her 'princess bow'. The first night she had it in she started crying when going to bed because I took the bow out and said she wasn't a princess anymore because she didn't have her bow in.
These brown and turquoise ones turned out surpisingly well for only the 3rd attempt.



This was the result of bows after only 2 days. Too bad I don't have any little nieces that could profit greatly from the abundance produced so far. (hint hint)

Very impressed with your craft skills. Although the way you worked those tinker toys I should not be surprised. - Tracy
