All Things Ribbon Satin Headband GIVEAWAY!

My mother made my girls the most beautiful dresses for Easter this year. I made this adorable headband to match~ It was perfect! I think I might be having too much fun with satin; is that possible? We are loving the wide headbands so I used a one inch headband for this one. They seem to stay put a little better. When my youngest wears the thin headbands they tend to slide down her bangs and it drives her crazy! The wide headband is comfortable and stays right where she wants it.








The gorgeous Brown and Ivory Satin headband is available in our Etsy shoppe!




I am excited to get these new headbands added to our shoppe~


But before I do...I am going to give a few away!~

Yes it has been a while..

I can't believe that summer is already winding down. I have to admit, I love fall. I love the colors and the temperature....I am a fan of soup, you know the crock pot kind you fix in the morning, smell all day and don't have to do anything at night after a long day kind. You know what I mean.

Well I haven't done anything on the blog for a while because my computer got sick (sounds a lot better than crashed or died) and I am waiting, and waiting for it to be fixed. So in the meantime..


Here is a fun giveaway. All week, 9 giveaways per day. Very exciting! Watch for mine!

Things I love

I love Spring! I realize it is almost over for most of you, but it just started here!

I love it when my kids take my camera.

And. I love new dress shipments! I think I love them as much as Goose does. She is always so excited to get the huge boxes open. She loves every style we carry. Last year she even "bought" a dress for her Raggedy Ann. You can imagine how excited she was to see the new Navy polka Dots and Stripes Sundress. She of course wanted one for Miss Ann but I said "Not this time Goose" We need to send one to Aimie.



Aimie said...
Oh my gosh!! These dresses and bows are fantastic!! All of my girls would look stunning in them, but if my oldest got one, then she could share it with her younger sisters :)

Aimie - mom to 5 girls under 7 :)

Congratulations!!

Now, I don't envy you the decision on who gets the dress. 5 girls! (I have 5 sisters-I think I would have got the dress being the oldest).




And believe it or not Goose is totally excited for you! (I just have to keep reminding her)


Huge Thank yous to everyone who took the time to blog about this giveaway! I really appreciate it.

I still have to post the follower prize winner and the referrer winner....Congrats to Babes in hairland! I have a code for you! And the lucky follower. CStoddard2 Email me!

Shamrock Korkers! A square korker tutorial

Here is the list of supplies you will need to make our shamrock korker hair bows:

wooden dowels

clothes pins

ribbon (I love to "kork" 1/4 in. ribbon)

wood burner

glue gun

needle and strong thread (I use DMC Floss)

lined alligator clips

a little bit of time :)

Attach the ribbon to one end of the dowel with the clothespin, tightly wrap the ribbon around the dowel. I am using square dowels and it is very important to get the ribbon as tight as possible. (I love the square Korkers, the turn out so cute. They do take a little extra time)
As soon as your dowels are ready, put them on a baking sheet and place them in your oven for about 25-30 minutes at 250 degrees. Now this works perfectly for me and the korkers stay korked. You need to watch them, however. Nobody likes burned ribbon. :)

Let them cool, and very carefully unwrap them. HINT: If you choose to use round dowels the unwrapping will be much easier.

Now I couldn't take a picture of myself cutting the Korkers with my burning tool, that would have either been extremely dangerous, or I am not that talented....yet. For these particular bows I just eyeballed instead of measuring the ribbon out. For a set of 2, divide the ribbon into 2 piles.

And begin loading your needle. Place the middle of the ribbon length right through the needle. HINT: Load the entire korker on the needle before you pull it through, it will be so much easier to tie off and the Korker will look a lot better.

Here I have finished loading both needles and am ready to tie off. BIG HINT: When you take the thread through the top of the Korker, put the needle under the top ribbon onto the second in the stack. This will ensure you do not pull the thread all the way through and have to begin again. Just added security.

I was going to add the shamrock ribbon to the clips, but I ran out of time. I love the polka dots, and nobody will see them.

The finished product. I love the squares and the rectangles. So fun and different. These just might bring in the Luck O the Irish!
