Girls Night Out

Every month some girls from church get together and do something fun. They go out for dessert, have dinner together, make a craft or go to a fun activity. This month I am in charge of a craft for Valentine's Day. I put together these blocks that are so CUTE. I am very proud at how they turned out! I used different sizes of wood blocks (thanks hubby for cutting them for me), spray paint, modge podge, scrap booking paper, and vinyl letters. Very fun.

If you would like to make this project on your own and you just need the vinyl let me know. The letter sets are only $5.00.

Feel the Love

I know, I know... Christmas just ended and I hate it when I am shopping for Christmas presents and I see Valentine's Day gifts out at the stores...but I had to share.

These are some of the items I will be featuring this coming "Love" Day.

This bow is one of my favorites. It is made with several colors and patterns of red, pink, and hot pink ribbons. In the center are red feathers and a giant hot pink rhinestone button! I am definitely going to have to make one of these for my daughter, and find an outfit to match.

"The Love Jar" is a great addition to your Valentine's display...or even a great gift for a friend or special someone. You will be able to purchase the vinyl label and ribbon bow on my site soon, so you can make your own! The vinyl measures 4.5 inches X 12.5 inches. This apothecary jar is from the one and only WALMART. They have a variety of sizes and they are very reasonable.  I filled mine with a lot of kisses. You can fill it with reasons why you love someone or any treat of your choice.

I hope you enjoyed these, cause I really enjoyed making them!

XOXO,

A Hard Days Work

As you can see...I worked all day today to get my bow stock up. Solids, prints and Valentine's bows coming soon. This was the easy part, adding backs and finishing the edges is much more tedious. If you have any suggestions for colors or styles you would like to see more of let me know.

New Items for the New Year

These are some of the new items I am selling for this new year. I am very excited about some of my new creations. I know it is probably strange to many of you how excited I get over bows and hair accessories. I get excited about anything new but especially things I or my daughter can wear. As a child I used to love to draw clothes. I had once dreamed of becoming a fashion designer and somehow lost that vision along the road of life. I think this small business allows me to fulfill, in a small way, that dream.

These new items are already up for sale on my ETSY site. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions about them. I am also on FACEBOOK now under Potpourri Patch.  This is a great place to view my new items and custom creatons as well.

Don't forget to check out my new SHABBY ROSES, POTPOURRI POMPOM FLOWERS and EXTRA LARGE BOW BANDS. These are some of my favorites.

ENJOY!

Custom for the Holidays

This is one of my Satin Holiday Poinsettia's in black but instead of feathers and tulle I added gold ribbon and a large rhinestone accent. This was made to match a black and gold Christmas dress.

This was made to match a cute turquoise and apple green baby outfit. I think from Carter's. Made with a mixture of grosgrain ribbons in a variety of sizes. Again with a large rhinestone accent center.

Matching Mom & Daughter Bands

I made these for a friend of mine for Christmas. Her daughter and her have matching outfits and she wanted twin headbands to match. I am sure they are going to look adorable together.

The headbands are made out of a teal chiffon fabric, with button, jewel and pearl centers. Then I attached them to black metal headbands. These headbands are very comfortable and don't pinch behind the ears as some headbands do. They fit most heads, child to adult.

Creating these headbands has sparked my interest in making more matching mom and daughter headbands. I hope to offer more colors and styles, like these, after the first of the year.
