Hairbows!

I really like making hairbows. I think it's so cute when little girls have them in their hair. It really makes an outfit. I used to make them and sell them a few years ago, but stopped making them because I think I was burned out. I went over to a friend's house and we decided to make some bows. It got me back in the mood to make some. I learned a few new ways and really had a good time.

The other day I went to my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby, to get some ribbon and found this awesome zebra print ribbon. I fell in LOVE with it! I paired it with hot pink ribbon and I think they are just eye catching. I loved them so much I had to put some on my Etsy store. Below are some of the bows I made.

My new hat!

This is the hat I decided to make for the twins. I like it a lot better than the other ones. I love how this one looks like a ballerina. I think the tulle adds so much to this hat. It is for sale at my Etsy store!

Knitted Hats and Hair Bows

Baby Hats
I finished the baby hats for the twins, but I don't think they are quite right. They turned out cute, but I have another idea in my head that I think will look cuter. Girls are so much fun to dress up, especially when they are so tiny and actually let you dress them up, that I think I need to make a hat with tulle on it. I'm working on it.



Hair Bows
Yesterday I went to a friend's house and we decided to bust out some bows. I used to make and sell hairbows, but things get crazy and interests change. Once we sat down to make them, I realized how much fun they really are to make. Below are two of the Valentine's Day bows I made. I think I need to make a trip to my favorite store, Hobby Lobby, to buy more ribbon!

Welcome!

I am so excited about starting a new blog! This blog is dedicated to my adventures in knitting, finding fast and easy cooking recipes, fun little crafts and projects I do, and whatever else I think of doing. Some posts may be short (like this one), but hey, I'm a mom with kids, a house, and two dogs.

Knitting is a passion of mine. There are so many babies born every year and each one needs a hat. I'm not a fan of the sock hats you receive at the hospital, so I like making cute hats that stand out and make moms smile. I am currently working on some cute little newborn hats for a mom who just had twins. I will get them posted once they are finished.

Become a follower--it will be an adventure!
