Well, I finally bought what I needed to make hairbows. Actually, I HAD the findings and wire and glue gun for this, but they got lost in the move. Jeffery is going to clean out the garage on his vacation, which means I'm sure they will turn up (plus, I bought more, so that will definitely make them turn up, right? ) but in the meantime, I'm so so so happy to be back to making boutique bows! And you know, honestly- once I have the ribbon and wire cut, I can make three of these in less than 10 minutes. So, they are not at all difficult, and "fancying them up" is pretty easy, too! Just takes creativity!

I've also started making beaded jewelry for myself and my three girls, and you can see pics below.

Hairbows:

This was made to match the necklace (which I did NOT make, and now cannot believe I spent $12 on, EACH!! (so, $36), last Christmas. Well, they did have a letter charm on them, but in hindsight, that does not make them worth $12 each for plastic beads with no real rhyme or reason. I suppose since we bought them at Disney, it should be no surprise, though.) Anyway, at least she now has a hairbow to match it LOL

And here is some of the jewelry I did over the weekend. Didn't get a chance to get pics of everything, but here is some at least:

Earrings and bracelet set for the twins (I am still working with my camera on focusing on what I WANT it to focus on. Stubborn!!):

Something I made my other mother in law:

The earrings to match:

Grandma and the kids, right before they all headed out to Sea World, leaving Jeffery and I child-free! (and Mimi, there are the shirts! LOL)
