Bows in Waiting

I have bows in waiting... they're waiting on my dinning room table to be posted here and to be put up on etsy for sale. I've made a new decision though: I'm not "backing" my bows till I sell them and the buyer tells me how they would like their bow - on a headband, pin, hair tie, or clip. I think that's makes them more useful and people can have exactly what they want. I like using the bows for Avery's collar, and I think they're perfect for dogs, but I understand some people want them for other things.

I'm working on baby headbands for Kristin's special request. It's been an interesting journey trying to make these ones. They're a little bit more challenging than just putting a pin on the back. Coming soon!

Whooooo's Bow?

Whooooo's bow is this?! It's Jenn's (or Timmy's?) of course! She doesn't know it yet, but it's for her. :) when I found this owl ribbon I couldn't help myself. I almost started jumping up and down in the isle of the store! And of course I had to find the perfect button to add to it. This button is made of wood and I really like it!

And please forgive me for being late - this is yesterday's bow but I haven't been able to post it till now. :)

Sweet Pup

Another sweet bow for a pup

Sweet Treat

Today I did TWO bows... I know... stop the bus! Someone's going crazy! The one I like most I'm calling "Sweet Treat." I really like my Halloween bows. This one is especially sweet :)

And if we were talking food... corn and ham?

Up And Running

That's right, the etsy store is up and running! Woo hoo! With 3 items listed (those you previously saw in the photos). Check it out! www.etsy.com/shop/stephuren

Such a Ham

Today's bow is called "Such a Ham" (I'm sure you can see why). This one was made with a very special someone in mind - my leettle seester. She loves piggies, so I special ordered some piggy ribbon just for her. :) Something else special about this bow - the white ribbon on the bottom was on a gift given to me for my high school graduation (2004).

Sew Too Cute Etsy Store

Inspired by the pup running around our apartment, I've recently started making bows. Originally I just wanted to put a bow in her hair or on her collar to let everyone know that she's a fancy GIRL, but all the bows available online were just so darn expensive. I decided that I should try making my own bows... then my obsession grew and I couldn't stop the bow making madness (I loved thinking of ribbon and button combinations and "trying it out"). I've put pins on the back of them so that they can be pinned onto collars, harnesses, leashes, etc. I decided that since I'm making more than any one dog could ever wear, I would start selling them on etsy.com (and give those other bow-sellers some competition!). Right now I'm working on building up a little bit of an inventory. My goal for the rest of this year (hee... ambitious, I know) is to make one bow per day. So far...

I'll try to post most of my "bow-a-day" pictures here for you to see.
