Ordering Info

Welcome to Holy Craft! I'm currently working on my website, but in the meantime, this blog showcases much of what I do. If you're interested in ordering blocks, click on the "blocks" link on the right. Same goes with any of my other products :) I love custom orders, so if you can think it, I'll do my best to create it! Feel free to contact me at holycraft33@gmail.com with any questions, comments, or to start a custom order. I can't wait to hear from you!

Matchy-Match

As we prepared for our family vacation to Palm Springs, I got a little carried away with the "details" of Ashlyn's outfits :) It all started with the bathing suits because, you know, all little girls wear bows while they're swimming, right?! Ha ha! After making the bows to match her swimsuits, I decided to make some for a few of her other shirts/outfits. So much fun!

Does your little girl have an outfit you'd like to have a matching bow made for? I'd love to do it for you--just send a picture and I'll do my best!

Every year when we go to Palm Springs and/or when my almost-4-year-old cousin, Lisa, and almost-3-year-old cousin, Nathan, come to MI to visit, we get the kids (Lisa/Ashlyn, Maguire/Nathan) matching suits. To make it even more fun for the girls I made them matching bows. Sorry boys, no bows for you!

Interchangeable Headbands

I've had a few requests for headbands, so here are a few. The top one is just a crochet-style headband I picked up at Meijer (or Wal-Mart, Target, etc.). Any of my bows can slide into the holes for a cute and versatile look.

These next headbands are ones that I've made. They're also interchangeable with any of my bows. So simple to change up the look! The headbands will fit girls from newborn to toddler...and often older!

Calling all bow girls!

As suggested by my "marketing director" (and former college roommate), Courtney, I'd love to get pictures of YOUR girl(s) wearing my bows! I think this will be a great addition to my booth display and will show how the bows work/look in varrying amounts of hair--from fuzz to long luxurious locks. So, if you have pictures of your little girl--or could take some--and could email them to me at holycraft33@gmail.com, that would be fabulous! Plus, I just love seeing pics of your little cuties :)
**The pictures can be head on or from the side, as long as they show the bow off pretty well.**

Biting the bullet!

I've decided that 2009 will be the year that I do at least one craft show. I'm excited and a bit nervous about this decision. Mostly I was excited until I got the application for my first show. They require a picture of my "booth" since it's a "juried" show. Trying to figure out my booth setup is, quite frankly, stressing me out! Here's what I've got so far...not too exciting. I'm not totally sure that I'll stick with the cardstock idea. And obviously I haven't filled in all the table space (don't worry, I've got PLENTY more bows to fill in the empty space!), but I need to add some more interest to my display. Do you have ideas for me? I'd love to hear them!

Bows, bows and more BOWS!

I'm quite obsessed these days with making bows! It's just soothing for me to sit with my glue gun and ribbon, curled up with my blanket (yes, the nasty torn up one I've had since I was a little girl!) and a good show (preferably recorded on my DVR). {sigh of contentment}

Just taking an inventory of what bows I've got on hand. If you'd like to order, please use the letter/number combo (A3, for example) when you contact me. If you'd like to see more detail, click on the pictures to enlarge them. Most bows can be recreated if you'd like more than one. I also love custom orders!

Baby Baldy Snappie Clips

Here's my latest batch of Baby Baldy Snappies. I've been having a lot of fun creating these little cuties for my friends who are having baby girls. The clips are 1" long and they are perfect for the tiny bit of fuzz that most newborns are born with. They're super grippy and won't slide out easily at all. I wish I had thought of them when Ashlyn was born! She had quite a bit of hair and these would've been darling on her :)
I've been slacking big time on listing things in my Etsy store. If you see anything here on the blog that you'd like to order but don't see a listing in my store, email me, leave me a comment of convo me (through etsy) to let me know. I'd be more than happy to work on whatever you'd like! Colors, patterns, themes...you name it and I'll do my best to make it work. Make sure your little girl has the right hair accessories for all the holiday parties and events coming up!

Autumn Blossoms!

Tell me these flower hair bows are not gorgeous! Ok, don't actually tell me that... ;) Autumn is by far my favorite season of the year, so creating these hair blossoms in beautiful fall colors is so fun for me! The only thing more fun is to put them in Ashlyn's hair :)

Two of my favorites. The colors are so rich!

Covered Button Crazy!

Set of 3 (1-1/8") magnets

Sock Monkey snappie clip!

Set of 4 mini (5/8") Halloween thumbtacks

Cute as a button ;) cupcake earrings (5/8")

Turquoise and chocolate earrings (5/8")

I just love making things out of fabric covered buttons. They're so fun to make and just so darn cute when they're finished! I'm listing a bunch of new things in my Etsy store, so check them out!

I think it's time...

...I post something that I've actually made :) Sorry about all the giveaway posts, but I just adore those items and would love to win them! Last night I made two new sets of bows--let me know what you think!

New blocks, new fabric, and new snappies, oh my!

I haven't been so great at keeping my blog updated with my projects lately because I'm too busy listing them on Etsy :) I got a few new fabrics the other day to add to my stash for custom albums or whatever. So much fun to look at fabric! I got some funky zebra print to make a pillow case dress for Ashlyn. Can't wait until I really have time to work on it! Check out the new fabrics in my flickr album.

I also finally got around to working on another set of my custom baby blocks. These turned out so cute! I plan to send them (along with a smaller set) to Baby Swags. I was recently contacted by Baby Swags and they're interested in possibly including my blocks in celebrity mom gift bags! I just have to submit an actual sample for final approval.

I've also been working on some more snappie clips. The Baby-Baldy clips are perfect for newborns and have been hot sellers! I made up a few "starter sets" and listed them on Etsy. If you're interested in purchasing any of these sets, click on my Etsy store on the right side of the page!

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!

Bow/headband set price: $8.00

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!**
