Bow Making


For the past couple of nights after Caroline has gone to bed, I have been experimenting with making bows. I studied a few I had, and tried to copy them. After about 50 burns and a couple of bows later, I think I might have the idea down. I am not very good yet, but I went and bought some really cute ribbon that matches a few of Caroline's new outfits and made some bows. I am proud of myself because if you know anything about me you know I have not an ounce of creativity or craft making ability, although I can crochet you a lovely blanket.

Those are awesome Allison! It's so weird because last night I was making little bows too! Of course I only ended up with 1.

I miss the long crocheting nights in the dorm, ah such fun. Those are really good, and I am proud of you because I know that kind of stuff doesn't come naturally. Nice work.
