I've also been working on Bow Tie style headbands. They measure about 2.5 inches across... and are attached to skinny 1/8 elastic. Great for little ones. I'll have pics up soon, but they come in just about every color and print available.

So on to "real life"... it's Monday morning, weather is yucky, but at least it's not snow... and I'm starting to get ready for a spring craft show.

Any feed back on anything... would be greatly appriciated.. oh and my site will be ready any minute now...:)

Picture Day - And some new things

So today I'm going to attempt to have my daughter model a few of my hair accessories. I have a vision... but as always things don't always go as planned... so my agenda for today is to make a few new accessories for her to model, take pictures... hopefully some that are usable and go from there... we'll see how that pans out. I'll post pics tomorrow!!!


Here are a few more things I made. This is a Stephanotis  flower with bead centers with either a french barrette back or a flat alligator clip.... Great for weddings and communions. A lovely addition to any special dress or outfit! Check them out at my Esty Store.... links below!!!
