Bigger is RIGHT

Here is an order shipping soon.  Just have to finish the final touches, but I TOLD you these just keep getting BIGGER!  Here are some 4 Loop Boutique Bows that are made with 1.5 inch ribbon.  Just gives it a little more thickness.  These beauties are just $5 each or 2 for $8.

Later on, maybe this weekend, I am going to try and make a layered boutique using some different color combos.  I can't wait to see how they turn out.

What colors would you like to see?

They just keep getting BIGGER...

The great thing about making bows {and basically anything creative you do} is that you can change simple things and end up creating something that looks totally new.  That is what I have been finding out lately.

You really can change ribbon size or the number of loops and come up with a bow that looks totally different.  I am finding now that I really just need people to tell me how they want their bows to look and then go for it.

The whole creative process is something that is so much fun to me, no matter what it is I am doing - scrapbooking, bow making, doodling, etc.  Every single time I sit down to make something I learn a new way or come up with something different.

All that to say I have been asked to make bigger bows lately, so I ordered some 1.5 inch ribbon.  Here they are.  I am playing with loops and designs, tails or no tails, etc. {Might possibly be making some bows with 2 inch ribbon soon, so who knows}.

The whole process is a blast.  See something you like, hit me up.  Think of something you want to see, hit me up, too!

Happy Tuesday All!

The Wait is Over

Remember the package I was eagerly waiting on this past Friday?  Well, after a spontaneous trip to Nags Head, NC (Outer Banks), I came home to find my package of ribbon in my mailbox!  Its sort of silly how some colored ribbon can make me giddy!

I am looking forward to some much needed "quiet" time, making some boys for some special little girls this week.  Hoping to quickly catch up on all the chores that I had planned on completing this weekend, so that I can get to work on some new creations!

Hope this post finds all of YOU doing well.

*** Don't forget to make sure you order some St. Patrick's Day bows {or something green} so your little princesses don't end up getting pinched in a few weeks!

*** Also don't forget to keep sending in those "BOWS in Action" photos.  I have some I need to get posted soon, and you can tag yourselves in them now, too. {If I don't do it first!}

Instagram

Not sure how many of you out there have the app -- Instagram --- but if you look at my Facebook Page for any amount of time you will see that I LOVE THAT APP!  99% of the time my photos posted are through that app.  I love how you can edit and post so quickly.

All this to say - follow me on Instagram if you have it, and I'll be sure to give you production pictures and sneak peeks to what I'm working on!  You'll be first to know! My username is lba_coveredinBOWS ... look me up and follow!  

Social Media

So I don't know how many of you know this, but I have a VERY INTELLIGENT brother!  He has been giving me some tips on how to use social media to build this little hobby/business of mine.  He's going to help me get all my links on my blog and make them easily accessible to you all, and of course, for you to share them with others!

For starters, I have created a board on my Pinterest account (which he is going to help me link up), of all the products I offer.  Now YOU GUYS have just ONE MORE WAY to share my bows with those you think might be interested! So head on over to my Covered in BOWS board and start re-pinning! 

Look for more fun changes to the blog, courtesy of my smart brother, coming soon!

Color Charts

You can now use this chart when discussing ribbon colors for orders. Sizes (width of ribbon) available in 3/8, 5/8, 7/8, and 1.5 inch so far.

Here's to being more efficient!

I'm working on making a chart for the other ribbon I have available. Should see that by the end of the week!

I just returned from a wonderful Anniversary/Birthday/Valentine's Day Vacation with my husband.  

Great time of relaxation, yet so excited to return and see some email and get some comments from those of you enjoying my bows!

Don't forget to take some pictures of your lovies in their Valentine's Day bows so they can appear in our "Bows in Action" album on the Facebook page!
