My family gift exchange (on my husband's side) included a list that asked for hair accessories [insert happy dance here].
I love making bows, but every time I pull the stuff out my husband says, "Do you have room to store that?" And the answer is no, I don't. Even after the adorable ribbon holder me and the girls made last year, I have no room because it's already been filled- maybe that's an excuse to make another holder, and therefor more bows...
Anyway, it was on the list of 3 year old, so even though she hasn't received it yet, I'm quite positive she won't see this, and even if she manages to see it- she won't know they're coming her way.
Honestly, I could have made her dozens of bows, but I settled on one for each month.
Here's the final bows:
Jan: A simple gold and white- fresh and clean like a new year
Feb: Purple and pink with plenty of hearts, for V-Day of course
Mar: A 4-leaf clover ribbon sculpture for St. Pats
Apr: A felt Easter Egg, even though Easter is in March next year
May: Blue floral bow, because April showers bring may flowers, right?
June: I wanted something fun but decided red, white, and blue for Flag Day also
July: A red, white, and blue bow for the 4th
Aug: A couple felt butterflies, just something summer-y
Sep: A cute fall colored bow
Oct: Orange and black for Halloween
Nov: Cute turkey for Thanksgiving
Dec: A felt tree for Christmas
And here's a close up of the turkey, because I think it's absolutely adorable:
I may end up sewing together a few headbands to throw in there also, but she's also getting some coloring stuff and nail polish. So, it's an "if I have time" idea.
That's all for now,
Jo!
