adventures in headbands

This headband is for a grown up girl :)
Laura asked me back in June if I could make something for her to take to a music festival to keep her hair out of her face.
So when she sent me a text saying she was leaving in 2 hours I was a little surprised that I'd run out of time! Haha, typical me.
I thought I had tons of time when really my deadline had come around. Matilda and I were laying around having a post name tickle-fest, so I had to jump up and get busy!

In about an hour and a half  I'd gotten it done!
I made two of the bows detachable so that Laura had a few more options. She can wear the headband with all three, or two or just one. She can wear the bows on their own.

I prefer to have a few options, especially when I'm having one of those days when everything is too tight or clinging to the wrong spots when PJs and a tshirt are the most comfortable options!

Have fun Laura! If you'd like your own headband or one for your little lady or a little OR grown up girl that you know just get in touch :)

Bow Very Busy!

Since we last spoke I've been on holiday in Tenerife, my Mom came over from the states for a visit AND I started making again!!!

It all started with passing on a couple of bows I made for Miss Mouse that were a bit too small for her. I brought them to our toddler group. The mum that I gave them too offered me some pennies, but I said I'd rather she told people I can make bows if they wanted them. 

So, she did! In the few months since then I've been bow making mad!

A mother daughter duo!

This leopard print lovely was for a grown up girl!

Peppa Pig is super popular!

Minnie Mouse is also in high demand!

I've been having so much fun! So far everything I've made is by request, so each bow is bespoke. I'd love to make something for you! I'll ship anywhere on the globe! Just wait until you get your peepers on my ribbon collection!

Not Really Up To Much

 We had such a lovely Christmas as I told you about last time.With the exception of an ill-advised trip to Liverpool  I've been properly taking it easy and Mr Woo has been out for the count with a cold. Besides going to the hospital for my checks I've only ventured as far as the village shop. I know lots of people recommend walking as much as possible to help baby get into position...I just can't go very far. My whole bump gets rock hard and feels full of cramps that won't stop until I sit down. SO the walking option isn't a great one for me. 

Check the size of my 37 week bump and me with no makeup, at least my hair is clean!!!

Changing pad cover all cut out! 

I've tried to stay busy with a few little projects like a cover for the changing pad & some hair bows for Baby Woo. 

Baby Woo HAD to have at  least one leopard print bow! There's a little leopard accent on the silver bow too ;)

 Do you see my fab Union Jack pincushion??? It was a gift from Vicky,  from Alexandra's Wishes, for receiving my spouse visa a couple of years ago! She is so talented and so thoughtful! 

The gingham one is Baby Woo's Dorothy Gale bow! Like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz's dress and a red vintage button to hint at the Ruby Slippers :)
There's also the bright green one a nod to the Emerald City. 

 I must also show you the gorgeous bows Auntie Lindsay sent! I'll have an excuse to play with my new camera again! 

some more handsome poses by our little man, I know I'm a bit prejudiced, but he is incredibly cute!  

On my way to the shop! Oh my swollen nose & face....I've been assured it does go back to normal....right???

And it won't be long til my mom comes to visit!
