Hair Bows!!

In an attempt to satisfy my latest addiction (hair bows), I've been looking at many hair bow and hair bow making websites lately. The more I look, the more I think two things, "I bet I could do that" and "Man, these people are making a killing!!" So, the competitive nature in me had to prove to myself whether I could tackle this feat or not. Much to my pleasure, bow making is not super hard and I had some success (unlike my escapade with the dress I was supposedly going to sew for Sara Grace this weekend--but that's another story entirely!). So, I decided to start big so I could see what I was doing easier. This is a picture of my very first hair bow I made. I still have a lot of little things to tweak and perfect, but I didn't think it was too bad for my first-ever attempt. Since this bow was like 5 inches or so across, it was much too big for Sara Grace's sweet little head, so I gave it to a friend at church whose girls wear big bows. Plus, she's a Georgia fan, so the colors were right up her alley.
So, after the first attempt being somewhat successful, I was itching to make one for my own little honeybee. Here are some pics of the one I made today (it's only 2 inches across--much better size for her little noggin!). And, no, she's not upset about the bow in the first picture...it was just too close to naptime to be doing a photo shoot!!
