Yes, we've made a lot of the curly bows too! It's fun.

I know you could make these sandals for her - - they really get a lot of attention and they don't fall off!

This is what my dining room table looked like for a couple of weeks. I've sold several pairs!

Did you locate a tutorial I could give her? She probably would have fun making them.

That's a project! I tried to tell her to wait until Hobby Lobby had things 50%, but she wouldn't listen. She will now after our son talked to her.

No, just saw a picture of them (the ones like the flower ones) and figured it out.

Just use some stretch ribbon and basically make a figure 8 - sew in the middle of the 8 and put embellishment in the middle.

It takes 10-12 inches for 6-9 mos. old, but having the baby there to measure would help her fit your grand daughter perfectly!

Exactly - -that's what I did - - got most of that stuff from Hobby Lobby and caught it on the 50% off time - - which is usually every other week.

I showed her the fuzzy sandals and we thought it was probably a figure 8. She thinks she will want to try them. Yes, having her here helps. She is a good baby! Glad of that! Just like her daddy was.

THAT'S what I tried to tell her - every other week. I said, "We could wait until Monday." But, NO! She spent $120 when she could have spent $60. I picked up the $8.00 rolls and showed her that she could have spent $4. Her hubby was pretty ticked, so I think she will wait until 50% now. LOL!

He adopted her son, who is 3, so I am having trouble staying off Amazon and buying educational books and games and toys.

These are made from pieces of a hydrangia - - I cut three different flowers from the large bunch and hot glued them until I got the thickness I wanted, then set a pearl in the middle.

That's cute. I have a whole bunch of hydrangeas in several colors.
