ENJOI ME BOUTIQUE

by Joi

This is what I do when I am not busy being a full-time mom & wife, working a part-time job at a court reporting agency, and doing projects for this blog.

  

Click on the banner below to go directly to my shop.

Here is my daughter and I modeling the goods.

Here are some new bows that I've been working on.

Come get the ones you want while they last!

These are one of a kind designs (compliments of my talented sister - Erin) and everywhere we go, people ask where we get these cute bows. Of course, I say that I make them, but you can get these too at Enjoi Me Boutique. I make some of the bows with genuine Swarovski crystals and natural shell buttons. If you message me on Etsy and mention that you saw this post on Heck Fridays and you are a Follower, you can get FREE shipping! I also do custom orders!

Hope to see you soon!

MAY GIVEAWAY: Little Lady Deisgns

MAY GIVEAWAY

Hi everyone, I’m Tara from Little Lady Designs.  I’m so excited to be hosting a giveaway this month on Heck Fridays!  I love this blog. Erin and Joi do such a great job!

I started crocheting 14 years ago while pregnant with my first son.  I crocheted for about 2 years then got totally addicted to SCRAPBOOKING and never looked back.  Last year for Christmas, my sister in law asked for a hat and scarf.  I found a cute scarf at a store, but could not seem to find a hat that I liked that would keep me within my budget for her gift.  I wished that I could knit because it seemed like everything cute I saw was a pattern for knitting.  The next day, I was looking at another craft blog and saw a link to crochet patterns for sale on Etsy.  What?!! I thought?  I didn’t know that people sold crochet patterns on Etsy.  I bought my first two patterns that day, and started making hats for gifts for Christmas.  I think I made about 10 hats as gifts, and I was so excited to see my friends and family open the presents.  They all loved the hats and every single person said, “You should sell these hats”.  I thought about it, and Little Lady Designs was born.  I opened a shop on Etsy 4 months ago and haven’t stopped.  I love crocheting!

My shop is teepers1.etsy.com and you can also visit my blog at taraslittleladydesigns.wrodpress.com.

I make hats for people of all ages, from newborn to adult, boys and girls.

My giveaway for this month is a hat of your choice of design, size, and color.  Go to my Etsy shop and start dreaming! 

Thank you so much, Joi and Erin, for letting me host this giveaway, and good luck to everyone!!!!



Girls Week: Rosette Flower Clips Tutorial

Rosette Flower Clip Tutorial

It's all about girls this week. I have made some easy rosette flower clips.

All you need is some fabric, hot glue gun, a small amount of felt and a barrette clip. I used some left over quilt binding fabric. You need a long strip about 22 inches long and 4 inches wide, for big rosette's. If you want to make smaller one's then just minus a few inches.

Take the end and fold in a few times and glue all that together.

Fold that onto it's self and glue that together.

Keep folding it in half to create a circle, and keep gluing it on it's self. While gluing, you are twisting it around and around. I couldn't get a picture during that part. You kinda need both hands. On a side note; be careful, I had the glue gun set to high and burned my finger. Make sure your glue gun is on low. Don't worry what the back looks like you will cover it up with felt.

This is the back. Not a pretty picture.

This is the front. I did this one loosely. You can make it tighter if you twist the fabric more tight. 

Cut the piece of felt and glue it to the back.

Glue the Clip to the back. I cover my clip with ribbon.

I like to secure it even more with felt over the clip.

Here is the front.

 And here is the Back.

And there you go. Rosette flower clips.

You can do any fabric and any size. This one is my favorite. I made it with leftover upholstery fabric. Super cute colors.

And here is the back of it.

These are really fun to make and you can put them on clips, headbands, clothes and any thing you want. Even as a gift for Mother's day. Just don't tell her how easy it was.
 XOXO-
