Over at the Nesters place she's always doing something wonderful and creative to promote all the hard work that women out there do! The latest and greatest is she's letting us that make things advertise on her blog to get the word out there to people. I heart Nester. I debated on whether or not I should link up for this one, but figured there must be some people out there that might want to check out my stuff... right? Who knows... maybe I'll even sell a few!!!
These are handmade barrette (bow bows as we call them) holders. They perfectly keep your little ones bow bows organized in one place! I can paint them to match your little ones bedroom theme, or in their favorite colors.
I also make bow bows. Each one is made with an alligator clip and has a no slip backing to make sure that your little ones bow bow stays in place! I do all sorts of different styles and can do custom orders for that special occasion or the upcoming holidays!
Thanks for taking a look! I hope you see something you like! If so leave me a comment.
Happy Holidays and Happy Homemade Shopping!

Funky Cool Halloween Wreath
Sunday, September 21, 2008
I decided I wanted one of those really cute funky feathered wreaths for Halloween last year, but really didn't want to pay the $30 for one. So I decided this year I was going to make one myself. While we were shopping last weekend I found these black and white boa's at the dollar store for $1.59 (I never understood why it's called the dollar store when hardly anything inside is actually JUST a dollar!) and decided I would grab a couple to make the wreath. Went to Michaels and got the styrofoam wreath and found the cute little Trick or Treat ornament on clearance while I was there. I had a bag of little plastic spiders from Halloween a few years ago... So I sat down and less then 10 minutes later...VIOLA! My very own Funky Cool Wreath for Halloween! Not too bad if I do say so myself... and total cost was less then $10!!

Ragamuffin Garland
Saturday, August 23, 2008
In my spare time (insert laughs here) this is what I have been working on! I got the idea here and fell in love with the idea for Little Miss Pinks room. Little did I realize how much work it was going to be! I thought that if I did a smaller version (by smaller I mean smaller pieces of material) that it wouldn't take me so long. Boy was I wrong! I chose to make it smaller so that I could use it for actual garland on her Christmas tree this year. But by doing so I need to make it at least 5 feet to wrap around the tree. Perhaps it will be done in time for Christmas 2009! :O)
No time to be creative lately

I was doing something new almost every weekend and excited to share it all with you... then summer came and all the sudden I had no extra time on my hands! I have all these ideas I am excited to share with everyone, I just have to find the time to sit down and do it! But I've not given up! So don't give up on me!!!
