Bowmania 2006

So this week was "bowmania 2006"- my friend Jessica makes and sells great little girls bows. She also designs lines for my vintage baby and leopard daisy lines (check your local shi-shi baby boutique for these fab high end items) anyway in leiu of our traditional visiting teaching experience we decided to have bowmania-- we assembly-lined out 30 bows (see bow link- scroll down to spring line pics L side- middle- were the ones we were working on) and had a great time chatting about politics, kids, families, and all our creative ventures. I was in heaven playing with all the vintage handkerchief scraps and concoting one of a kind combos (I am sucker for fun fabrics- I think its in my blood my grandparents used to own a fabric store)-- then there are the swarovski crystals (you already know i love anything sparkly), tulle, denim, ribbons-- I told her my learning how to make bows ensured I will never have a daughter! But watch out because if i do those bags of ribbon I amass on my outings to the ribbon outlet will be made into some rocking hair confections!

I love bowmania nights! I am so addicted to ribbon, it's not funny! There's something soothing about working with your hands to make something so stinkin cute. Good work!

Its not fair that you took all the talent from the rest of us ;). You can paint, make cakes, decorate homes, design desinger clothes and now these bows? sheesh :P.

I so need a girl to dress and accessorize. My first ds had so much hair and dh just didn't appreciate my putting it in pigtails. Boys are cute and have better toys, so I guess that's something.
