Made to Match

Have you ever searched in vain for *the* perfect bows to match the perfect dress for your princess? This is how my bow making began, I would make bows for Megan's special occasion dresses when I couldn't find one in the stores (or when I couldn't handle paying more for a bow than a dress!) This is our latest Made to Match- this is the dress Megan picked for her picture day. I made these pink and navy bows that I think are adorable. It's a new style for me, any great ideas for naming it? Spiky & Loopy??







I would love to make a bow to match a dress for you! Email me with the colors you need and we can discuss a style choice.

Are you ready for some Football?!


These are obviously done to match the colors of my favorite NFL team, but could certainly be done to match the colors of your favorite team. Your princess can be ready to watch her favorite highschool, college, or NFL team! (I may have to charge extra if anyone feels delirious enough to need Cowboys bows loL!)

Bow Plaque

Another idea for bow storgae and display. Obviously this would be made with the letter of your chosing, and in the colors to match your darling's room (we are still in our pink and purple phase). Please note: most letters will have space for only 2 tails of ribbon.

Bow Board


If you love bows like I do, you need a place to hang them! Here is your solution, a ribbon adorned board. Can be made to match your princess' room!

Butterfly Ribbon Clips

How cute are these?? I went with pink, but they could be done in any color combination.

Pink Princess


Navy Nautical






Made to match gymboree Bon Voyage Line. This was my princess' pick to wear for her first day back to school.

Butterfly Snap Clips


A bit more subdued than the large ribbon bows. I love these colors for fall!
Two different boutique style bows. The first shows the surrounding loops and the contrast center knot. This has the patterned ribbon directly on top of the solid ribbon.
The second bow is done with the patterned ribbon made into its own bow and then attached to the larger bow. We'll call this the double layered boutique bow.

Baby Headband

I am currently offering 2 styles of baby headbands and 4 interchageable bows. The bows are all on fully lined alligator clips and will work in baby's hair without the headband as well. If you are interested in the lace headband, I must have a measurement of baby's head circumference. The crocheted headbands are a standard 13" unstretched (this is big enough to fit around my head when stretched).

Too much?


maybe, but I think it's adorable, and I'll bet that Miss VP does as well when she sees it in the morning.

Yellow and Purple

So, after a trip to the local consignment sale, I've decided that my daughter Megan will be the VP of Marketing for this bow business. Here's how the conversation went:
Random Nice Lady (to Megan),"OOh, aren't you cute, I love your beautiful bow!"
Megan, "Thankyou, my mommy made it. She made these socks, too, see!" (Lifting up her little foot so that the lady could more easily see the pink ruffled socks she was sporting today.
I love that little girl!
