When in doubt...BOW it

So I know I haven't blogged in a LONG while, I know shame on me......but I'm back!!!

To start off the new year I have committed to doing the 365 Project.
What I originally wanted to do was to do something different each month, to focus on a specific craft for a month before I moved on to the next........it didn't work. I'm a person who gets distracted easily, as most of you know, and so after finding something much better to do than knitting for January, I'm doing a whole mix of things.

The most important, and most enjoyable, is making hair ribbons. I love Miss Happ's ribbons and so I thought to try it, being all committed like to this project, and I was instantly hooked!!! To me there is nothing better than to physically make something with my hands, its what I enjoy most. And so hair ribbon making is what I have been doing!

I have also decided to sell them as what will I do with 10+ ribbons a week, I only have so much space on this head. I must say I feel like I'm accomplishing something great by doing this and it makes me feel like people actually like what I'm making, its a great feeling!!

And so I'm selling my ribbons for R 25-00 each and R 15-00 for the smaller ones. So far, jumping up and down being all chuffed with myself like Ive just sold my first glass of lemonade, Ive sold 7 Ribbons and have an order for 6!!! Whats best is that I can custom make them according to how me friends want them or if I have them in mind (for instance Melissa and the sailor clip....which is my fav!!!). PLUS I get to make the ribbons according to how I want them, you know, to match my clothes and shoes!!

But I have not only been 'ribboning', Ive tried painting but inspiration is seldom to me these days and Ive tried photography, which has been a tremendous fail! But all in all I'm loving my 365 project and I'm super proud of myself for committing to something, which is another seldom thing for me ;).

But not only am I proud of myself but also of my dear friends for doing the same thing, you girls ROCK and the work you guys have done is absolutely *FABULOUS*.

With all me Love,
