Lovin' my life as a {crafty} Mommy and Wife: April 2010

Bow Boards

Recently, I came across a new storage solution for all those cute bows...a bow board. I made one for my daughter and it is currently holding 70+ bows! Contact me if you are interested in ordering one or for more information. I am always accepting custom orders.

Wedding Shower Towel Cake

My sister in law was hosting a wedding shower for a co-worker and asked me to make a towel cake for her. I told her I would give it a shot. Here's how it came out...

I love it and it was fairly simple to put together. I think this will be my new favorite go-to wedding shower present! Thank you to my sister in law for asking and trusting me to make this!

New-Dresses and Shirts

I needed a birthday present for a 3 year old girl, and after some searching found out how to make these cute toddler dresses out of bandanas. I made one for the birthday girl and of course, one for my girl too! They are so cute and just perfect for summer. I also used the same style to make dresses out of fabric and even a waffle weave towel for a shirt. Check out the pictures!

I also tried my hand at an appliqued tie onesie or "little man" onesie. I've seen these online and in boutiques and thought they are so cute. I've never had a boy to make one for but had a baby shower for a little boy come up and needed a gift! Also, I found out just a couple months ago that I am getting a new nephew in August so he will be getting one too!

Custom Printed Ribbon

I found instructions for printing your own ribbon and decided to give it a try. I wanted to make some "big sister" and "little sister" bows. I had fun with it! Here are some pictures...
