I have had a love of art my whole life -- I've always been drawn to anything involving imagination and creation. But, I attribute my latest 'artistic flare-up' to my daughter. When I found out our first child was going to be a girl, I immediately went into a tailspin of ideas thinking if all the wonderful things I could make for her room, her clothes and....her hair bows! My neighbor at the time, was also expecting her first child, a girl, around the same time I was due. She was actually the one to fuel the fire, by cluing me in on how to make baby hair bows, and for that I am forever grateful, because that is where it all began....hair bows turned into burp cloths and blankets, which turned into rompers, which then turned into quilts....
Now that my daughter's head has grown, it has become the perfect backdrop for the most obnoxiously girly hair bows you have ever seen!! Here is my latest creation from a scrap of tule I found in the fabric store's discount bin and a giant decorative rhinestone (also from the discount bin). When my daughter first saw this bow she said 'oh.my.gosh. I looooove it!' Ah, the things that make me smile :)

This was the first bow I had made in a long time. I stopped making hair bows when my daughter was about 2 years old because she was in the 'I'm going to do what I want to do just to make you mad' phase and would rip all her bows out of her hair and stick them right into her mouth and proceed to chew them to shreds.....yeah. So now that that phase is well behind us, and my daughter is actually excited to wear things in her hair, I think I might get back on the bow making train!
