Like I said... I love to craft :)

Okay so, I love to craft and create. As if bows aren't enough, lol, I have come across something else that I love a whole bunch, too! Waldorf-Inspired dolls! These little cuties are handmade with all natural materials. The outer fabric used for the doll's skin is 100% cotton. They are very tightly stuffed with pure wool stuffing. The hair is merino wool that has been handspun and hand dyed with natural dyes. After obsessively looking at other people's creations for a month, I decided I would try my hand a making one of my very own! I wanted a funky little Diva, so I shopped around for the perfect rainbow colored yarn for her hair. No, I did not dye it myself! I am totally not that crafty, yet! Here is my little creation. I have not named her either, so offer suggestions! I hand embroidered her face and blushed her little cheeks myself. I didn't make her clothes, but I bought them from some extremely talented ladies on Etsy. So everything you see here is completely handmade :) I have a niece coming into the world in just a couple of weeks. I am planning on making her a very special friend who will last a lifetime :)

And the Winner is....

I numbered all of the blog comments and all of the extra entries taken from the Offer game 1-82. Then I used random.org's random integer generator to randomly select one number. The number chosen was 73! Congrats, Dena! You win these awesome bows!!

Best Offer Game on 1/27 at 9:00 pm Central Time Zone

I am hoping for a fun time and a big turnout for my first ever Best Offer Game over on Facebook. I have 12 bows, all made in my deluxe 4 layer style with my handmade clay centerpieces and plush embellisments up for grabs. These are all ready to go, awaiting clip preference. How the game works is like this: I will upload the album. You can submit your best offer for each item you are interested in. I will only take offers for ONE hour. You can come in with a heavy offer right at the beginning to scare off others, or you can hang back and come in like a sniper with your best offer right at the end. Your strategy is completely up to you! The only catch? You can only submit ONE offer per bow. You must have a paypal account to play, since that is the only method of payment I accept. For every offer you make, I will post an extra entry of your name into the drawing for the Giveaway bows!

Hello BowVine Fans! I am so excited to have you all.

These super sassy, uber girly bows will be sent to the winner completely FREE! The only requirement is that you are a fan on my Facebook Fanpage, and a follower of this blog.
