Making bows

A lot of my entertainment lately has been making bows. It started out as something to do to pass the time in bed and I thought it would be fun to have bows for the little miss if we can get her here and healthy. Well bow making has kind of taken over. By the time little miss's due date, my sister and I figured I could have enough bows made for her to wear a different bow every day of the year. :) I get all my ribbon online at the Ribbon Retreat and they ship it right to my house so I don't have to go shopping. I've gotten quite the collection of ribbon the past couple of years and it's gotten even better the last little while.
This is my latest purchase. I like to get their grab bags because they have so much different sizes and colors and it leaves the "making choicesof what ribbon to get" aspect out of the picture :)

These are some of my favorites that I've finished. I've started doing sets of two for piggy-tails



I've also done a few Holiday ones. This is my favorite Halloween one I finished. 

Now that I have all these bows made, I had to come up with something to display them on. I think it turned out really fun. 

This it what it looks like all loaded up. 
There was only one problem, It didn't fit even half the bows I have made. So I had to make another one. :)

Yes I know it's a little excessive, but it gives me something to look forward to each day as I lay in bed. I know that no little girl in the world needs that many bows, but it's giving me something to do to pass the time and I'm sure I know a few little girls that I could have fun sharing them with.
