Bow-tiful

 So with the start of my ETSY shop (shameless plug: please visit http://www.etsy.com/shop/MeganHolding) I have realized that I am not as crafty as I thought. In fact, I would call myself craft-less after seeing how talented the rest of the population is. Nevertheless, I shall persevere and endure. 

I realized that my meager boot socks 
and sweater pillows 
that I upcycled from sweaters were not going to cut it in Etsy land. 

SIDE NOTE: I never wore the sweater(s). Most of them I bought while I was pregnant thinking I would somehow give birth and magically become a size Triple Zero Extra Small. 
So that's what size I bought. 
Never worn, naturally. 
Just thought you oughta know. 

LIKE I WAS SAYING, though, my craftiness paled in comparison. I needed to up my game. 

It started with fort kits (http://www.etsy.com/listing/87976214/fort-kit). These I found on another blog and borrowed. It's not stealing if it's on the internet, right? Right? I wouldn't say they are going like hot cakes, more like the syrup that comes with the hot cakes. I've sold 2 in the 4 days they've been listed. 

but it wasn't good enough.

I needed to be more Etsy-ing Fabulous! 

Hello hair bows. 

Even if these little delightful confections do nothing, teaching myself how to make them is going to save me a bundle - a heap - a ton of cash. I really love putting gigantic bows on my baby girls. 
I really really do.

Hello, my name is Megan and I am addicted to hair bows.


Now I can make them, not buy them for $15 a pop (serious?) and Paul will stop shaking his head at me. 
Maybe. 
Ok, probably not. But it's a step in the right direction.
