I have an Addiction
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at 12:15PM 
An addiction to making tiny bows. Last summer, I spent a full week working on nothing but tiny bows. I purchased several spools of 2mm and several spools of 4mm silk ribbon from a seller on eBay, took my tweezers and got busy. I tied hundreds of bows. Sometimes it's a pleasure to immerse yourself in a simple repetitive task (at least I find it pleasing).

This is unrelated to bows (but they do look very cool!): I was wondering where you get your microsuede from? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
One can only imagine that by the end of the week, you're getting pretty good at tying tiny bows...? LindaSonia
Jess, you must have tremendous patience! I don't think I could spend a week tying tiny bows.
I get really ocd about things sometimes...
silentsongbird, I bought most of my thin ultra suede from Field's Fabrics--it's about $55 a yard, but for dolls, you only need little pieces. I purchased it in 1/8th yard cuts--22 different colors. I have been using those same pieces for about 3 years now--I do need more of the cream.
