Large Boutique Bows and Bow/Headband Sets

Each of these bows is about 4" across and is on a partially lined alligator clip to allow you to slip the clip in close to the scalp. The bows that come with a headband are removable for versatility. The bow can be worn on the headband or alone. For babies with "barely-there" hair, a no-slip strip can be added to any bow for no additional charge!
Single bow price: $6.00
Bow/headband set price: $8.00

Don't worry--if you haven't placed an order yet, you can still get in on the referral deal!

More bows and snappies!

I went on a little bow-making tirade again last night and stayed up WAY too late! Fortunately Maguire slept in this morning until 9:30 :) Here are a few of my favorites and, as always, check out all of the bows/snappies in my photobucket album!
**When ordering, please use the "call numbers" that are the titles for each bow/snappie clip. Thanks!**

Faux Babylegs

Black & Blue Argyle - size Baby Long

Maguire graciously agreed to be my model. I wasn't so sure what I thought of them for boys, but I think they're darn cute! Although, probably a lot cuter with a onesie, not showing his diaper :)

Pink Sparkles - size Toddler

Turquoise Sparkles - size Toddler
Black/Silver Sparkles - size Toddler
Christmas Sparkles - size Toddler

Here's my version of Babylegs - aren't they adorable?! I just wish I'd figured these out while my kids were babies. Oh well, they can still use them :) I'm anxious to try them out on Baby Maddy when she's here Thursday afternoon. I'll try to get a good picture of her modeling them to post.
**I'll DEFINITELY be adding to my inventory of these! I'll post pics when I finish more.**
PRICE: $8/pair

Korkers!

This smart and sassy korker hair bow will be the perfect addition to your little girl's outfit for any of the upcoming patriotic holidays! Clip is a partially lined alligator clip, perfect for sliding into a ponytail or holding back hair to the side. Measures approximately 3".

Hooded Towels

This darling hooded towel is made from a full-sized, 100% cotton towel. This way you can maximize the use you get out of it--it'll work for toddlers, children and even teens (if they'll go for a hooded towel - hee hee)! The light blue towel is embellished with chocolate/white polka dots grosgrain ribbon. It can even be tied at the hood - like a cape - so it stays on. I can make this towel in just about any color/ribbon combo you'd like!
**Personalization is an additional $5

I've made the jump...

...to Etsy! After enough people asking if I'm on Etsy, I decided to just do it. A lot of my bigger things (not a lot of bows) are listed there. If you're interested, check out my store. I'm working with Shauna (she does fabulous work!) on the appearance of my store and possibly re-vamping this blog a bit. Eventually I hope to have my own site up and running. I've purchased a domain, but I'm still S-L-O-W-L-Y developing the website. If you have any skills in website development, I'd love help!

Baby Bibs

I love these super-cute bibs! My kids have a few that they've used since they started on solids (4-6 months). At 16 months and 3 years old, they still love to use them! Ashlyn routinely asks for her "Ashlyn ladybug bib" :)
Price: $15 (includes personalization)
*Styles available depends on current inventory

Contest!

I'm contemplating a contest to give away some "Holy Crafts" :) To enter, all you'll have to do is leave a comment on the upcoming contest post. From there, the winner will be chosen randomly. In the meantime, leave me a comment letting me know what you'd like most to WIN! And keep checking back for the official contest post ;)

A few more...

Once I got rolling on these things, it was hard to stop! Here are just a few of my favorites. As always, the rest are in my photobucket album.

This is the baldy-baby snappy clip. Each one measures 1" - 1.25" and is lined with velvet to really grab onto fine wisps of hair or even just peach fuzz.

* most Snappies measure approximately 1.5" - 1.75". Baldy-Baby Snappies are 1" - 1.25" and large Snappies are approximately 2".

Introducing Snappies!

Snappy clips are great for just about any length of hair--even barely-there-hair!
