Life is getting hectic

I can really say that it doesn't surprise me because I tend to do it to myself. Have you noticed how your life can be crazy one minute and calm the next. School starts Monday. Bow making is ongoing. My part time job is seeming like it may be more full time than anything, and with my kids' outside activities, its getting a little nuts. I will say this, I will never complain of a dull life!

Today I worked on a new hair bow with some templates I purchased. I'm always trying to expand my abilities and there is nothing wrong with getting tips from the professionals! I bought a set of templates from a company called No Bow No Go And the above photo is one of my newest creations. What do you think? I stacked a twisted template, with a double layer surround bow, with some "streamers" below. They are attached to one another and anchored to a lined clip.

Tomorrow I will be immersed in rebar plans, the flea market, my children, a Saturday of house cleaning, shopping, and getting ready for Monday. I'm hoping to be able to get some time on here to share some of my tricks to doing little fun projects.

Until then, I hope you remember what a blessing each and everyday is, and that you make the most of it. Don't forget to thank the Lord!

Spark of Creativity

I have had a spark of creativity, and I'm pretty proud of myself because its something I haven't seen yet. Before you say... And?.... I will tell you that usually a lot of my ideas come from the inspiration of others and their gorgeous work. When learning to do hair bows and head bands, I invested in tutorials to learn the proper techniques to produce quality items. I didn't want my handmade homemade to look thrown together, I wanted it to look professional. There really is a lot to know and to learn how to do to achieve that too believe it or not.

So, why am I excited... because I came up with an idea of my very own for a bow design. Has someone somewhere already done it? Maybe, but I don't think so. If they have, I haven't seen it... I've got to build a template to make what I want, but as soon as I do I'm going to get them posted on here... I'm so excited, and the possibilities are astounding really.

I sound like I'm writing in code.

In other news today, I joined as a follower of several blogs from those in the hair bow business and hobby land. I love to look at people's work. No, not to steal, to get inspired. These ladies really do inspire! Check them out and get inspired too!

Have a great day! I hope to post some pictures soon
