I have to practice a lot to get them to turn out well, but I really love doing it. <br /><br />I found <a href="http://tencowchick.com/2011/11/14/rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-hair-bows/">THIS</a> tutorial on Ten Cow chick and was so excited to make a christmas bow for MZ.

I was SO excited about this because the tutorials were printable - which is good for me because my computer is not in my craftroom (and I don't have a laptop), so I'm always looking at the first couple steps, then going to the craft room, then coming back to the computer for the next couple steps. THANK YOU <a href="http://tencowchick.com/2011/04/27/printable-bow-tutorials/">Ten Cow Chick</a> for making them printable.<br />I varied a little by adding another layer of ribbon in each bow, but I did all the steps in the tutorial.<br /><br />MZ's bow was the exact measurements TCC used<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--ow8gTWK3xA/TdqNmRd1c_I/AAAAAAAAAUk/FhPAa1C_Qr8/s1600/downsized_0522111242b.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--ow8gTWK3xA/TdqNmRd1c_I/AAAAAAAAAUk/FhPAa1C_Qr8/s400/downsized_0522111242b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609951974506460146" /></a><br /><br />N's bow was an inch smaller<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZU-c23Xffls/TdqNl2PehhI/AAAAAAAAAUc/uH2YJbZQwWQ/s1600/downsized_0522111241.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZU-c23Xffls/TdqNl2PehhI/AAAAAAAAAUc/uH2YJbZQwWQ/s400/downsized_0522111241.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5609951967198479890" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://s200.photobucket.com/albums/aa12/mommacarlisle/?action=view¤t=bratsignature.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa12/mommacarlisle/bratsignature.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Emby The Brathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07922394932817159744noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179249022057369380.post-56616328645975804792011-05-20T12:28:00.000-07:002011-05-20T12:43:08.777-07:00WreathI'm finally back into the swing of things.<br />This little princess joined our eternal family almost 7 weeks ago and i'm slightly obsessed with her.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R2delz5bb-4/TdbDu_pS-cI/AAAAAAAAAUU/skAbBEGiCBg/s1600/wreath%2Bproject%2B008.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 322px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R2delz5bb-4/TdbDu_pS-cI/AAAAAAAAAUU/skAbBEGiCBg/s400/wreath%2Bproject%2B008.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608885598062574018" /></a><br /><br />During naps yesterday, I realized that I needed something for ME - I had missed crafting like crazy.

I LOVED it and begged my husband to buy it for her. He had complete faith that I could turn it into something beautiful. It was a dirty yellow color.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU2h-7CsI/AAAAAAAAANo/VFnE4RmDq3s/s1600/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+003.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU2h-7CsI/AAAAAAAAANo/VFnE4RmDq3s/s400/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492795991343696578" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU2OqnKoI/AAAAAAAAANg/1uboFbJC4uY/s1600/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+002.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU2OqnKoI/AAAAAAAAANg/1uboFbJC4uY/s400/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492795986158234242" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU14CZ8NI/AAAAAAAAANY/m54xo2qaJl0/s1600/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+001.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpU14CZ8NI/AAAAAAAAANY/m54xo2qaJl0/s400/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492795980084015314" /></a><br /><br />While the hubby was taking off the hardware and taking out the drawers he stumbled upon a black bra - back behind one of the drawers. I wonder if the owner is missing it? We thought it was quite nasty!<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpVkn5WPUI/AAAAAAAAANw/fseG-iTmDHY/s1600/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+006.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jcvW4gB5JNg/TDpVkn5WPUI/AAAAAAAAANw/fseG-iTmDHY/s400/MZ+furniture+and+July4th+006.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492796783204908354" /></a><br /><br />I cleaned the pieces, and painted them white. I spray painted the bed because it was metal.
