My new little hobby: Bows for Bailey

I have become a bit obsessed with crochet hats and bows for Bailey. Since I have attempted and failed at crocheting, I unfortunately can't save money by making my own hats for her. After looking on various websites, people sell bows for way too much! So, off to the store I went... to buy some ribbon. I got home to look at videos and instructions online and ended up making a few bows. Some of them I am not completely happy with and still have to work on, but some I am completely happy with! I have been having fun making these so that is all that matters. I hope to get good at them and maybe give some as gifts. Here are some pictures of the first ones I have made...

Ooops sideways pictures... turn your head and they will be right side up!




Nice drool Bailey!



These are my favorite bows...
It was upside down...oops

Here it is the right way...

So those are some of the bows I have made so far. I do not make the headbands, but have them in about 12 colors (with more to come!) :). I make the bows, put them on a clip and clip them to the headbands. So if you see pictures of Bailey with bows on in the future...most likely they will be ones I have made! It is a fun little hobby. As Jen Jen told me the other day...motherhood has made me crafty. I have been having fun with it, even if I am not very good at it.
