Goodbye

2009-10-01T15:34:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry. I just don't have time to pursue this hobby anymore. We are moving to Idaho in a couple short weeks and I will be getting back out in the work force. So I will be keeping this blog but just know that posts will be few and far between. Hopefully I'll be able to return someday :)

Back 2 School

2009-08-03T15:25:00.001-07:00

I made these for a lady who lives here on base with me for her girls. They are going back to school soon and these headbands match their uniforms.

Headbands without bows, $5 each.

You can order these on my website or you can always email me (anniebananie82@hotmail.com) with a custom order if you would like something to match your kids' school uniforms too.

New Striped Bows

2009-04-22T15:38:00.000-07:00

I am also offering these bows in sets of two.

I know I have a few customers who have been awaiting the return of the Small Bows with Headband Pack and they don't have to wait anymore! It's back, and little different then it was. It still includes a stretchy headband in infant size that has an interchangable slot so you can mix and match all your favorite bows. It also includes 3 Small Boutique Bows all set on metal alligator clips. The colors are pink, white, and brown. The price for this amazingly cute set is $9.

I am also starting to offer the Stretchy Headband all by itself in 2 sizes. This one is the 3/4 in. wide stretchy ribbon. It has the interchangable slot and it will stretch to fit any baby's head.

3/4" Interchangable Stretchy Headband- $1.50

This is the 2nd headband I am now offering separately. It is made with 1/2 in. stretchy ribbon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Annie's Bananies.

Free-be!!!

2009-03-13T15:11:00.000-07:00

Who doesn't love to get something for free?!?! I have tons and tons of red 7/8" grosgrain ribbon, so in my effort to de-clutter before we move later this year I've decided to give away free small red Classic Bows. These bows are about 2 1/2" and are set on metal alligator clips. All you have to do is make an order on my site and I'll slip in a free small red Classic Bow! This offer is valid until I decide to discontinue it. I'll let you all know a few days ahead of time when I decide to stop.

Small Red Classic Bow- FREE with any order from my website.

New Pacifier Clip

2009-03-13T15:08:00.001-07:00

Baby showers always inspire me! I made this pacifier clip for a baby shower I attended this week and I thought it turned out way cute. It's not as embellished as some of my others, it's a little more simple, but I like it.

Yellow Daisy Pacifier Clip- $6

St. Patrick's Day Order

2009-03-04T17:10:00.000-08:00

My SIL asked me if I could tweek a couple of my bows so her girls would have something green for St. Patrick's Day and I said, "Of course!" If anyone sees a bow or headband or anything else on my site that they would like to order in a different color, just ask! If I have the ribbon, or I can find the ribbon, I will always oblige. You can leave a comment anywhere on this blog, or use the Contact Me link on my site, or simply email me at anniebananie82@hotmail.com. I am always willing to work with special orders!!!

Easter Tails Down Bow, $4.00. Measures 2 3/4" wide and 3" tall. Find it on my site under Easter/Spring Bows.

My daughter even let me use her as a model, it must be pretty cute if she's pose for it!

Pinwheel Bow

2009-02-26T15:15:00.000-08:00

This is the newest bow I have been working on. Very springy and very cute! I'll try to talk my daughter into letting me take a picture of her with this bow in her hair, because I think it'd look even more adorable being worn.

Pinwheel Bow $4.50. Measures 3 1/2" wide. Find it on my site under Sculptured Bows/Clips.

Easter/Spring Bow Part 3

2009-02-21T13:07:00.000-08:00

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, how this bow turned out! I was practically just messing around with some new ribbons my SIL gave me for Christmas and this was the result. It's big and fluffy and so pretty!

Double Sheer Bow $5 ea. Measures 4 1/2" across. Find it on my site under Easter/Spring Bows.

2009-02-20T11:23:00.000-08:00

Easter/Spring Bows

2009-02-19T15:07:00.000-08:00

I have been a HUGE slacker lately on keeping up with my bow blog and creating new bows. But I am back now! I have designed four new spring/Easter bows that I will highlight in new posts during the next four days, so come back soon!

This first bow is the Triple Twisted Bow. It is only available in these springy colors for now, but I like it so much I think I might make more colors later.

New Item!!!

2009-01-21T12:47:00.001-08:00

This is my newest item! It's a set of Tuxedo Clippies with that sort of velvety ribbon. I'm calling them Velvet Tuxedo Clippies. They will be $4.50 for the set of two. A little bit more then the other Tuxedo Clippies but this velvety ribbon is more expensive. I thought they were perfect for dressing up an outfit a little!

Tuxedo Clippies Pack, black assortment, $5.

Paci Clip for Soothies.

2009-01-15T14:04:00.001-08:00

I've had a few requests from friends and family to create a Pacifier Clip for the Soothie Pacifiers. Since they only have that one little hole I thought this should do the trick! You can simply thread the loop through the little hold the the pacifier and then thread the clip end through the loop and pull tight. I made one for my nephew and it seemed to work well. I should have more colors and styles up soon. I'm going to try to find a clip with a smaller eyelet so the ribbon doesn't slide around so much.
Pacifier Clip for Soothie in Green Flip Flop, $6.

Valentine Button Bow

2009-01-07T11:10:00.001-08:00

This is probably the only Valentine Bow I will do, but don't hold me to that, haha. It's about 3 1/2 inches across. (that's a button in the middle if you can't tell)

Tuxedo Clippie

2009-01-06T09:51:00.000-08:00

I thought I'd repost the Tuxedo Clippies because I finally had the bright idea of attaching them to the plastic clips. I did this because I love Tuxedo Clippies but I have a hard time getting them to stay in Chels' hair. They stay in mine just fine but it's probably because I'm not a 3 year old who is moving a mile a minute! I will redo my website to include the plastic clip as an option for the Tuxedo Clippies.

Stays in so well!

This plain pink and white combo is not available on my site, but if you like and you want to see it on there, just let me know!

Chunky Headwrap

2009-01-05T13:24:00.000-08:00

I saw this picture on someone else's blog, apparently it's a scene from Gossip Girl. I looked at her headband though and thought, "I could totally do that!"

So here's my attempt, I didn't make it quite as chunky as the girl's in the photo, but I still think it turned out way cute!

Chunky Headwrap in Navy/White, $3 ea. Find it on my website, http://www.anniesbananies.com/

Ruffle Heaband

2008-12-21T16:06:00.001-08:00

This is the NEW Ruffle Heaband for infants. It has a small elastic piece at the back in order for it to fit a range of head sizes. The headband will be available separately so that you can choose which bow you'd like to attach to it. It is interchangable so you can mix and match different bows.

Headband is $3 and has a 14" diameter.

Yellow/Brown Big Bow

2008-12-16T14:17:00.001-08:00

This is a bow I put together because I have lots of yellow ribbon, haha! But I actually love it, I think it'd look way cute with a plain brown shirt if you didn't have anything that was brown and yellow.

They will be listed on my website under Layered Bows, each is $6.

Lt. Blue Headwrap

2008-12-11T09:09:00.000-08:00

This is my Chels wearing the Lt. Blue Headwrap, my new favorite. She even loves them and when I let her pick her own hair accessory for the day she always picks these!

They're $4 for a two pack.

It's over and done with.

2008-12-07T18:15:00.000-08:00

Ahhhhhhhhhh.......(sigh of relief)! The Crestview PTA Christmas Bazaar went great! I was making bows like a mad woman the last couple weeks and I thought Dec. 6 would never come. If I was lucky enough to see you at the bazaar then thank you for stopping by my table! I had tons of fun and I would do another bazaar again in heartbeat! Now it's back to normal life (my daughter and husband will be very thankful!).
Most of the bows before they were packed up.

My table at the bazaar with my pal Shannon next to me at the Pampered Chef table.

French Toile Bows

2008-12-02T14:14:00.001-08:00

Don't forget to enter the Give-away! Only 4 days left to enter!!!

I have had this french toile ribbon for a while and I absolutely love it but I couldn't figure out what kind of bow to make it into to make it look just right. Well, yesterday I was getting out some scrapbooking stuff (don't ask me why, it's not like I don't have enough to do already!) and I saw these little pearls that I also bought a while ago. Then it hit me, I thought, "Those would look perfect with the french toile ribbon!!!" So here they are, I'm so excited that I finally got to get out this ribbon!
Pink French Toile Bow- $4 (3"wide).

Black French Toile Bow- $5 (4" wide).

Website Launch!!!

2008-12-01T00:00:00.000-08:00

OK, it's finally time! I have been working on this for a couple weeks and it is now finally ready to go...I think, haha. It's nothing fancy but I think it will be nice to have an actual website that is easier to use then the blog! So here's the deal, along with the website launch I am going to do a give-away. Here's how it works, hop on over to my new website:

and take a look through all the catagories. Most of the products you've probably already seen if you're a faithful Annie's Bananies follower. Choose your favorite product and come back to this blog post and make a comment. In your comment tell me which bow you would like to recieve for free and you will be entered into the drawing for the give-away. I will pick the winner on Friday (Dec. 5) at 3:00 pm, pacific time. The winner will recieve a pair of matching bows in the style they chose! So tell all your friends and family. This is a completely free, no catch, give-away. I'll even ship to APO addresses for my Germany friends ;)

Now remember, you have to look at my website and choose your favorite item from there. Don't just name your favorite item you've seen on my blogs because you never know, it might not be on my website and then you'll be caught!

I wish everyone good luck in the drawing, and thanks for being great customers!!!

Tuxedo Clippies

2008-11-26T15:49:00.000-08:00

Along with the new blog I've decided to start marketing my Clippies a little diferently. These kinds are now Tuxedo Clippies. I'm also now selling them in a 3 pack. They will be $5 for each 3 pack.
Tuxedo Clippies in Black, $5.

If you want a sneek peek hop on over to www.anniesbananies.com The official launch will probably be next week sometime!

Princess Bows

2008-11-25T14:01:00.000-08:00

I made these this afternoon for a little girl's Princess birthday party on Saturday. I just want everyone's opinion on them. I mean, I know I'm going to give them to the little girl because she'll love anything with a princess on it but I want opinions on if I should try to sell these. For the middle I just used a sticker. I stuck it onto a piece of foam and then cut around it. So leave me a comment with your opinion!

Winter Bows

2008-11-25T09:32:00.000-08:00

I put the Big Lt Blue/Navy Winter Bows in Chels' hair this morning and I am in love!!! They are so cute, and so BIG. So if you like big bows I think this is just the ticket for you!
She wasn't thrilled about being my "model".

More Christmas Bows

2008-11-24T12:29:00.000-08:00

I need to start seriously working on hair bows for my upcoming Christmas Bazaar! I've such a slacker on the hair bow department the last few days. So expect either a lot of post in the next couple weeks...or for me to be completely absent on here because I'm too busy to stop!

Big Lt Blue/Navy Winter Bow, $6.50 ea. Appox. 4 1/2 inches wide.

Red Headwrap

2008-11-16T17:34:00.001-08:00

I wore the Red Headwrap today and I just thought I'd take a picture so you can all see. I thought it was pretty cute, if I may say so. It pretty much stayed put all day too until I took a nap, then it slid back a little, but I still haven't had to take it out and put it back in yet. Just thought I'd share!

Headwraps

2008-11-15T14:27:00.000-08:00

I love the way a sweet little bow headband looks so I set out to try to make some. I think these are fast becoming one of my favorites! They keep my little girl's hair out of her face, they stay in place, and they look so adorable. These ones are in girl's sizes but if you would like baby or adult sizes then email me (anniebananie82@hotmail.com). They each have a small strip of elastic at the back so that they will fit a wide range of sizes. They are 18 inches around before stretched.
These all will be listed as Headwraps under Classics.
PS-I put it around my head and it fit, it looked pretty cute too!
Headwraps in Red and Black, $4 for the set, other colors are available!

I'm having my daughter model them for me but it is once again very hot here so her hair looks sort of nasty, so sorry but it's the best model I had!

Just a picture to show how the elastic attaches at the back of the headwrap.

Holiday Bows

2008-11-14T11:25:00.000-08:00

Some of you might be thinking it's too early for Christmas Bows, and maybe it is, but I am participating in a Christmas Bazaar in a couple weeks so I've got to get going on my Christmas line! I designated today to start making my Christmas bows. Well...today it is 80 degrees at my house, in November! So, I put down all the blinds to sort of make it dark, I put on a Christmas cartoon for my little girl, and I lit a Gingerbread candle and it worked! I am now in the Christmas spirit! All the Christmas themed bows will be catagorized at the top of the right hand column under Christmas Bows. I will be making more cutsie bows to post soon!

Get your order in soon for these bows because I obviously got all the ribbon on Christmas specials and I don't know whether I'll be able to find the ribbon again or not. Plus I'll be selling a lot of them at the Bazaar I'm doing so supplies will be running short!
Red Snowflake Bow, $4.

Silver/Black Bows, $7 for the pair. These are smaller, about 2 1/2 inches across. These bows are really neat, the silver ribbon is stiff sort of like a heavy duty tin foil and the black ribbon is velvet rick-rack, I'm in love with them!

Flowers

2008-11-13T15:03:00.001-08:00

All flower hair bows/clips can be found to the right listed under Flowers. All of the hair bows made with artificial flowers will be under Blooming Bows.

Bow Clippies

2008-11-12T11:40:00.001-08:00

These are one of my favorites! Bow Clippies are tiny, just right to hold back bangs, or for a baby. They come in an assortment of colors. The price is $6 for a matching pair.

Classic Small Bow $3, also to the right. (more colors, measures ab. 2 1/2 in. across)

The new blog.

2008-11-07T12:28:00.001-08:00

I decided to start all over. My other blog was getting too clustered and chaotic! So here it is, the new Annie's Bananies blog. This is where I will be posting all my new hair bows, pacifier clips, and any other project I decide to embark on. I hope this will work better. I have had my SIL help me design a new three column layout so that I can organize things better. So bookmark it, or sign up to be a follower, or add me to your bloglines. There are new bows to come!!!

You can still order off my old blog (http://anniebananie82.blogspot.com/) until this one is all up and running.
