I learned to make korker ribbon recently, and have been having so much fun!  What's better than an outfit that has a matching hair ribbon, right?  Take a look at my photos to see my korker ribbons. :)  I can't believe how easy they are to make.

If you've never done them and are interested in making your own you can find a great tutorial at www.theribbonretreat.com/....

They have other ribbon tutorials too!

I am so excited! CreatedbyMom.com, the blog, launched their Haute Mama [pick of the day] today!  My tutus with ribbon are the first to be featured!  Go have a look!  The link to their blog is below!

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a great holiday season.  I had a very busy holiday season with birthdays going on along with the regular gift giving season.  My youngest turned 3 this past Dec 22nd!  I can't believe how big she's gotten!

I 've also been busy making tutus, and adding new options to them.  Rose's bday tutu is one of my favorite new tutus.  I love the way the bright pink and orange compliment each other (and there's a hint of bright green underneath too!).  To accent the whole thing I added a great big orange peony to the waist.  You can see lots of pictures of my tutus with flowers at the waist in my gallery.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and can't wait to see all the great craftiness coming out of everyone around me!

Happy New Year!

My daughter's dance class is having a Halloween party this week, at the end of class.  The teacher said we could bring treats of our choice as long as we checked out allergies.  I thought about making some sort of really cute Halloween treat but in the end I thought of something much better than sugar.  Wands.  I've been wanting to make wands to offer in my store, for a while, but I like to test out things first.  What better way to test a product than to give it away to a gaggle of little girls?  Tomorrow is the big day --party day.   You can see how they turned out in my gallery.  I'd love pointers on taking better pictures of things like that.  I know that these are full of things that little hands love to pull apart but I've let Rose run around the house for the last week playing with hers (and she took it out yesterday to the trick or treat thing downtown here) and she's yet to destroy it (wish I could say the same thing about the phone book).   I'd love to hear what ya'll think of them!

This has been a very exciting week for me.  To think, just a few weeks ago I was only taking the first steps to plunge into the world of actually selling my creations.  Today I can say that I am a vendor for Created by Mom .  I keep a blog over at blogspot and I'm part of the The Secret is in the Sauce.  Last week they had posted they had a new sponsor, Created by Mom, and that they were maybe looking for vendors.  I emailed the lovely ladies at Created by Mom and, long story short, they loved my tutus and offered me a spot as a vendor.  Needless to say, I'm thrilled.    So, if anyone is interested in taking a look, go see what the gals over at Created by Mom have going on.  Just click on any of the Created by Mom's I've written here and if I've done it right it should take you right over. :)
