Hair Bow Organizer



          Although I wish every great idea was mine, I have to say that they are not.  Most the time I see something I like and I personalize it.  A lot of people have probably seen the hair bow organizers on Pinterest.  I have seen them made with a single large picture frame and ribbons down the back to hand the bows on.  Well, I needed something to hang Kat's hair bows on and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on a picture frame.  I also only had a small amount of wall space for this project.  I found these 8x10 picture frames at Walmart for $3 each.  I bought 3 because I was planning on using two for bows and the one in the middle for hats.  I attached plastic hooks to the bottom so that I could hang headbands.  The only thing I used to decorate the frames themselves was ribbon and hot glue.  I think it turned out pretty good, but my only complaint is that I couldn't figure out how to attach the hats to the ribbon.  This made me a little sad seeing as though I crochet hats and wanted to hang them there as well.  So, if anyone has a suggestion on how I could attach the hats then please let me know.  =)

Baby Shower Decoration

My Baby Shower Picture Holder


Picture Holder Before

My baby shower is next Saturday and I've seen what my decorations look like.  I saw Pink, Purple, and White polka dots!  Well, I had thought of a Valentine's theme myself because i came across a cute little onesie at Target that said "Mommy's Valentine."  Since Kat is due 2 days after valentine's, I loved it (it did help that there was a cute little kitten on the onesie too, but we're not going to talk about that right now...haha!).  For mine & Dale's wedding reception, I had decorated in red hearts since my color was red.  I went digging through our wedding stuff to see what I had.  I came across the picture holder with red hearts pictured above.  At our wedding reception, this had pictures of Dale & I.  I thought it would be cute to put Kat's ultrasound pictures in it.  Well, we aren't exactly doing the "Mommy's Valentine" theme after all, but I still liked the idea of the picture holder with Kat's pics in it.  So, seeing that I love doing crafty things, I decided to make it match the shower decorations.

My Etsy Shop

The Crafty Little Kitty began as just a thought of mine in June 2012. I began posting pictures of crafts I made in a blog. At that time, I had only sold a handful of items that I had crocheted. Family, friends, and coworkers have been telling me for quite some time that I should open my own Etsy shop. With the start of a new year, I felt this was the best time to introduce my new shop: TheCraftyLittleKitty Crochet!
