Insta-Friday: 2

 This is where I tell you about my week in pictures.  Here we go. 

1. I got a membership at The Y.  This is my face after my first workout since Baby E was in mah belleh, the size of a blueberry.  Work it, girl.

I've been going a little crazy making bows out of the St. Louis Cardinals ribbon I got in.

I've also been working on some newborn headbands.  We decided to omit the sequin bows since they're for everyday wear. 

Baby E somehow got the strap to my tote bag over her arm and head.  That's how I wear her diaper bag.  I like to think she's a genius. 

I made some teeny bows for an order this week.  They're just about 1.5" across. 

This specimen.  You wouldn't believe the hipsters that filed out of this.  On their way to Taco Bell.  Doing weird things with their arms.  Just like a hipster.

That's all, folks!

St. Louis Cardinals Bows

Maybe you knew that I grew up in St. Louis.  We used to go to Cardinals games every summer.  I'd try to convince my dad that suntan lotion was an acceptable form of sunscreen (come ON, Dad! It has an SPF of 4!) and we would get those Whoppers ice cream cups that you ate with a little wooden paddle.  Also, when our elementary school treated the 4th & 5th grade patrol officers to a game, I caught a wild hare and kissed William Duncan on the cheek.  Yep, I was a 5th grade floozy. 

So it should come as no surprise that when I found some St. Louis Cardinals baseball ribbon, I snatched it right up!  I got to work on it this weekend and have posted the first few bows from my Limited Edition line of St. Louis Cardinals bows over at Hair Bow of the Month Club!

Head on over to check it out.  I'm posting them as I finish them and when they're gone, they are gone!

Anna's Flair - Boutique Set

Wooo, Buddy!  We are neck-deep in first birthday plans over here!  I did finish up a "Flair" set for a friend's daughter.  The set includes a boutique initial onesie, a stacked boutique hair bow and a matching tutu.  I love how it turned out!

I'll be pretty scarce around here for the next week, but check back in next week for the party posts!

A Strawberry Bow

I'm knee-deep in hair bows, so I thought I'd pop in and show you one of my recent creations!  I designed this with the help of a friend for her daughter's Strawberry Shortcake birthday party. :)

Macy Goes to the Fair Pennant Dress

I am so glad I made it through to Week 3 of One Month To Win It!  I love, love LOVE this dress and am SO glad to know many others did, too.

Let me tell you, I have been most excited about this week since we got the list of themes.  When I saw "Bunting and Banner Week", this idea immediately popped into my head!  

Start with a simple white dress and add a tiny pennant-style banner and you have:

The Macy Goes to the Fair Dress!

I am beyond excited with how this turned out!  If you're anything like me, you know that ideas in your head don't always translate well into real-life items, so when it does, it's like hitting the jackpot!

I started out with a pillowcase dress and altered the pattern to work for my idea.  I added box pleats to the neckline which make me think of a Big Top at the fair.  Then I made a mini pennant banner and trimmed the neckline with it.  I finished off the neckline and arms with bias tape I handmade.  

But of course I couldn't stop there!  I cut out approximately 1 MILLION little bitty triangles (really, about 250) and stitched on 5 rows of the tiny pennant banner to the hem of the dress.  I love it so much!

This dress is a great stash-buster project!  All the little triangles were made from my scrap bag.  The bias tape was made from fabric left over from another project.  I love using things I have on hand!

Sidenote: The whole time I was working on this dress, "Macy" kept popping up in my head.  This dress really did name itself!

You might have also noticed The Macy Bow in these pics.  I had fun with this one!  I added a few more elements than I usually do and love how it turned out. 

Next time your favorite little girl needs a dress, don't run to the store!  Go grab a pillowcase and a handful of scraps and see what you can come up with! :)

I want to add a very big thank you to my friend Cheryl from

  NC Life Photography 

for taking beautiful photos of the dress for me!  If you live in Florida and need some photography done, check her out!  She does family shoots, engagements, weddings, you name it!  We've had family photos and baby pics done with her and they have all turned out amazing!

Linking up to these lovely parties!

December Bow Sales Benefiting Cap Haitien Children's Home!

I love December!  There are decorations to put up, gifts to buy and sweets to bake.  Christmas shopping is one of my favorite things to do.  It's so fun picking something out for someone that you think is perfect for them.  

In all the hustle & bustle of the season, it's so easy to forget how truly blessed we are.  I'm halfway through December and I have not yet made charitable giving a focus.  That stops today!  

Our friends Hunter & Jillian moved to Haiti to run the Cap Haitien Children's Home almost a year ago.  They went there on a mission trip with no intentions of moving there and within months, they had quit their jobs and were headed to Haiti to save an orphanage.  If you have five minutes, grab a box of tissues and head on over to their blog to read their story.  You will not be sorry!

Hunter & Jillian with some of the kids

So, all that brings me to this: 

For the entire month of December, I am donating 50% of the proceeds of every bow I sell to CHCH.  This includes EVERY single bow, EVEN the Hair Bow of the Month Club.  

Also, today is the last day of this week's giveaway, so hop on over to enter!

Bow Display Fall 2011

I just realized I hadn't shared my display from the consignment sale yet, so thar she blows!

I mixed things up a little bit, added in some flower clips and the headbands I've been posting about.  I love consignment sales.  Love.  For less than 100 bucks, I've gotten TONS of clothes for the wee one.  Several footed sleepers, about a dozen outfits, 6 pairs of pants, sweaters, onesies, shirts, dresses.  It's crazy.  When I go shopping now, I think about what I could get the same thing for at a consignment sale.  It gives me anxiety to pay full price for something.  I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing!  What are your tips for not spending a fortune on kids clothes?

Bowin' Up!

Hello!  I've been busy lately making bows for our consignment sale at church. If you're in Nashville, stop on by! 

I'm adding in a lot of new colors in the large bows.  I'm also working on a few new things - here's a little sneak peak at some of the materials!

Pretty, right?

Once I finish all these bows, I'll be back on with some other projects and perhaps a giveaway! :)
