Ribbon & Headbands & Hairbows, Oh, My!

It's Memorial Day weekend, and where I live it's reaching 90 degrees. Who's thinking about buying hats? Not too many people! LOL I've been investing in ribbon here & there over the last several months, but haven't had the time to make a whole lot of bows, as I was steadily busy with crocheting until recently. So, I worked for 4 hours last night and made a whole bunch of hairbows! I made 6 for the local soccer club, along with 3 for my girls to keep, the rest have been listed on etsy. Here are some photos of what I've made:
Along with a handful of soccer hairbows, with a portion of the proceeds from these going to support the local soccer club!
There were several people who ordered bows, and one ordered a headband-this is a completely new venture to me, but here's a photo of the beginnings of my first one!
These bows are all "due" in the morning, as the last soccer game of the season is tomorrow morning. Then it's back to the rest of my crochet orders, and a couple of hairbow orders, then I'm all caught up! That will allow me to enjoy the nice weather with my kids, and from the orders that I (may) get & additional hairbow/headband ideas I have, I plan to use rainy days as work days! So, you may be seeing some more hairbows/headbands in the future! I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!

May Days Giveaway!

Wow! My shop has been open almost 6 months now! I've been contemplating starting a blog for a while now, so I thought now would be a GREAT time to start a blog! So, to kick off the start of my new blog, I am hosting a giveaway!

What inspired this giveaway was that I was so honored to learn that my shop had been nominated for a $4000 advertisement giveaway by one of my wonderful fans! I thought hosting a giveaway would be a great way to get all of my fans more involved with my page, while getting the word out there about my business! There is only one mandatory entry for this giveaway, with bonus entries for following via GFC, commenting on the blog, and a HUGE bonus entry for voting for my shop!

It's just my way to say thanks to all of my wonderful fans! Thanks and good luck!
