Bows Bows and More Bows

So you see I have a ton of "southern" nieces in my life right now. For those of you aren't aware of the term "southern" auntie or "southern" niece allow me to give you a brief explination. In the South when your best friend (in my case cousins too) have a child boy or girl you automatically become a "southern" auntie. We are just a very close knit community and everybody is related to everybody somehow and if you aren't you grow up thinking you are because you have called him or her auntie or uncle your entire life. 


I am the proud "southern" auntie of 4 nieces and one nephew and another niece on the way due in May! I considered myself very lucky to have two of those nieces living within driving distance from me and doubly lucky to have an actual amazing aunt who works for the airlines and allows me to use to her pass to fly to Dallas. Dallas is where my bestest friend from high school lives with her two adorable little girls as well as her younger sister whom I have adopted as a younger sister along with your little boy whom of course I consider my nephew :) I really do love all of these little ones as if they were my own and somehow one way or another I am going to get them all to move to one state so I can see all of them all the time whenever :) It's a work in progress....


Ok so back to my topic at hand! BOWS!! One of my adorable nieces Anna Claire (I have two nieces named Anna) wears bows literally every day of her life. She looks so stinking cute in them too. Well, her bows were stuck in her dresser drawer which was hard to rummage through when trying to find the perfect bow to match the outfit of the day, so her mom and I came up with a brilliant idea of making a bow holder for her. I of course was thrilled to make one as it is my new years resolution to become as crafty as I can. 


This bow holder was easy and simple to make and fairly inexpensive. I (actually Anna's mommy) bought everything needed to make said bow holder from Hobby Lobby. Below you will find the before and after picture of the bow holder. Anna truly LOVES this thing. She really does look at it every time she is in her room and smiles up at it which of course makes my heart happy! 


Stayed tuned from my next delayed blog entry about more tutus...
