Inspiration

I am always on the look out for fabulous color combinations. I love fabric. I wish I had a room full of bolts just to look at. I am not much of a seamstress, I am more of an instant gratification kind-of gal~which is where the glue gun comes in handy. I will say that one of my favorite ways to come up with new designs/color combinations comes from fabric. I see something that instantly catches my eye and then I must create something with the same color scheme. These three fabric pictures are just plain fun. I am thinking the Big Stacks out of these colors...they are just yummy! AND who doesn't LOVE big bows!

Made to Match

I am in love with Gymboree! See this outfit here I love to match the outfits with adorable bows that add to the outfit~not distract from it or over-power it.

Can you imagine these two beauties together? I love blue, I don't think it is used enough. I think this will be in my little dd's wardrobe this year, it is so cute! If only it came in a little bigger size...

Grosgrain: SILHOUETTE MACHINE GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!!

A giveaway is on it's way

It's coming! We have decided on the new styles for our Fall/winter collection! I love this time of year. It wasn't hard to chose which one was going to be "the one"! I was drawn to this dress instantly. The stripes, the colors~I want one for me! I can see this one in Megan's Closet along with a couple others.... Stay tuned! I will post all the info!

Ribbon Blossoms

Sherelle took these fabulous pictures of Miss Megan and Miss Lani. Both are wearing our adorable white dresses, with coordinating Ribbon Blossoms. I love the headband, you can add it to a simple hairdo and it looks adorable. The single satin Ribbon Blossom is perfect for a touch of color and looks gorgeous in Lani's dark hair. Love it!

For the love of Satin

I first fell in love with ribbon over sixteen years ago, after I had my first daughter. One of my particular favorites is satin. One of my vendors was shocked that I liked the satin better than grosgrain; I guess most bow gals like grosgrain. I love our new Ribbon Blossoms. I can't believe how many possibilities and different color combinations are possible. To see our Ribbon Blossoms click here These adorable new Ribbon Blossom bunches are perfect if you are looking for something a little different and totally classy. You might not even share these with your little princess. :)

But it's my favorite..

I was so excited to get my first shipment of dresses in. They arrived, we opened the boxes and there it was. I fell in love with this adorable pink dress with cap sleeves. Of course I put two aside for my little darlings and they love them too. Nothing is better than a little girl in a dress that makes her feel like a princess.

Now for the bad news. They have discontinued this little dress. I have seen the same style, but different fabric~~Oh well on to bigger and better things, right?

Well, I have two left. A size 2 and a size 8. They are up for grabs at the shoppe, click on the link to take you right to it...Hurry, I know you will love this dress as much as I do. Did I mention it is machine washable~gotta love it!

Marabou~~

This week we have been experimenting with marabou. I have to say it is not my absolute favorite thing to work with~because of the mess. I kept the vacuum close and went to town! These adorable new clips have our new ribbon blossoms in them and I think they turned out absolutely adorable! I attached the one Megan is wearing to a metal headband that I put a tab of felt on. The felt is nice and thick and keeps the clip from slipping off. You can check out all the adorable Ribbon Blossom creations from All Things Ribbon right here! Coming up...New M2MG! I am in love!!

Back to Bloggin'

I found this adorable ribbon that I just fell in love with. I love having an accent ribbon to top of the Big Stacks! We made this bow to match a newer line from the Children's Place, I think it turned out adorable.

Help!

I am so excited for Spring! ~~I just can't help myself~~ I found this adorable ribbon that had spring written all over it. I love green and pink together so naturally I had to have it. It is a darling lady bug and flower ribbon, I used it for the base and I accented with double ruffle ribbon, polka dots and a darling gingham.

Coming up with new styles is the easy part...giving them a name, now that is where I have some difficulty. I think I am running out.....So help me out and let me know what you think I should name this darling new bow! If I pick your suggestion, it's yours! Leave a comment with your idea or find All Things Ribbon on face book and post it there! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Spring Flower Clips!

I found some fun new flowers for our Spring Collection. I love the new glitter buttons for the center of the flower! A while back I did a tutorial on how to make your own flower clips check it out here. They are fun to make and easy enough you could make some with your little princess. (I always supervise my gals with the glue gun). I love the stage when they want to do their own hair, we have a bit of that going on at our house. Add a clip they made for themselves and Viola! Let's call it Independence in Bloom! Have fun!

Stylin Giveaway

My little sister Judi is having a fabulous giveaway over on her blog. She made two of theses adorable bags and is giving one of them away! I have two of her gorgeous bags and I love them both. I will admit I didn't make them but if I ever wanted to I would snag the pattern here.

I wonder if I can use my gluegun? Don't tell her I said that.

Judi is an award winning long arm quilter so you know the quilting is going to be incredible. She also is an amazing designer and has a ton of quilt patterns, darling fabric and quilt kits etc. available at her shoppe.


I wanted in on the fun too so...I am giving away this adorable Valentine's Day Set. This is one of my favorite hair bows. Loving the pink and red combo! So hurry on over to Judi's blog and enter! Ends Friday.....

Little Braids n Stuff!

Needless to say Meg was not in the mood to have her hair done today. She loves it, "down, just down." I insist on a lovely hairdo if she is going out and today she had piano lessons. I parted her hair down the middle (harder than it looks) and braided both sides. With a small curling iron I curled the ends, then brought them up and attached with an elastic the bottom of the braid to the top. Pretty simple, which works for me! I pulled the curled hair around the elastic so it would curl over just right. Added some bows and curled her bangs. She wasn't thrilled, I thought it turned out great and so did her piano teacher! :) The first thing she asked when she got in the car was when she could take it out. Reminds me of this. Everyday. Happy New Year!
