Expanding Hobbies






For the past year or two, I have been making bows for Sophie. As I've previously mentioned - I love dressing up my little girl! It's become quite an investment though as I've acquired ribbon in nearly every color imaginable, so when a friend suggested that I make some to sell I thought, why not? And ever since I have been cursing her name because now I've added a whole new realm to my hobby by entering the world of retail. The bows I made that first time all sold and I had orders for more. So now I'm doing some of that, but trying to keep it small scale for now. There is a season for everything and my season for adding things to my to-do list really didn't come with my fourth child. I do really enjoy making bows though! So I do it here and there and just have fun with it and I'm actually glad my friend put a little pressure on me. And if anyone needs a bow, let me know! I love making them for friends and family!

Imagine my stock of bows with THREE girls. Your bows are amazing. But then again, I would expect nothing less from you :)

Cute bows! Having more hair would make it easier for Elliet to wear cute big ones! For now, she is good with the small ones you made her! Loves!
