Create your OWN

Create your own Carlykins Bow

It is so easy to design and create your own!

Tell me what you want.

I will tell you what I have.

And we will work together to make it happen!

Take today for example.

A woman contacted me and asked if I had any "John Deere" bows.

I sent her a picture of what I had made

and a picture of ribbon I had on hand. 

I also sent her a picture of some cute felt animals I had. 

Together we created this

 Seriously, how stinking cute is that!!! 

It lead me to write this blog to show just how simple it is. 

Step one: 

What color ribbon

You can add a second ribbon 

 

And even a feltie to top it off

I then send you a picture of what it looks like before I put it all together and you can make any final adjustments!

I can match Easter dresses, 

or Christmas, 

I can even make bridal hair accessories!!!

"Spirit Tails"

I love when a friend knocks on my door and says 

"Look at this, 

I just bought this simply to come show you and see if you can make it!"

Well I made quite a few and they are a hit! 

Holiday Maddness

I had a FIRST happen to me with Carlykins yesterday. 

Last week I ordered a bunch of different Holiday felties. 

Yesterday I sat down to make them and posted pictures of them on my facebook page along the way. 

An amazing thing happened! 

With each posted picture the items 

SOLD OUT

First were the Halloween Spiders

Then the Turkeys

(these sold so fast I never even got a picture of Lauren in one!)

Last but not least the Christmas Trees. 

After I Sold out of everything I went to my Felt Distributors page to order more and her shop was closed! Yes I had a mini heart attack! I sent her a message with a picture of what I had created! She emailed me at 3 in the morning to tell me how stinking cute the items were and asked how many more I needed! Now that is service!! I LOVE her shop! She has the cutest items for me to add my touch too!! We work great together but my goal is still to one day afford an embellishment machine and make them for myself.

A Wedding FIRST!!

Who woulda ever thunk it!!
Not me!!
This is a Brand new one to me!
Using a Carlykins Headband as a GARTER! 

Yes folks that is right a GARTER!
Carlykins has been in a few weddings in the brides hair or the flower girls hair even in the mother of the brides hair but this my dear, is a FIRST!!

I made this headband for a dear friend of mine.

She was expecting her first baby girl so I made her a 

NCSU Princess Starter Basket. 

When my friend's little sister was about to get married she mentioned wanting something NCSU to wear as a garter. 

My GENIUS dear friend thought of the headband I made her baby girl. 

It worked perfectly! 

Don't you think!

First Home Show a HIT!!!

Carlykins Boutique first ever home show was a HUGE success!! 

I am so thrilled with everything about the first show!!

All morning I have been asking myself if it was "for real" or a "DREAM"!!

My absolute FAVORITE memory 

from the show was the first purchase!

It was a 9 year old little girl that hunted me down,

handed me the bow she wanted and cash!

I looked at Janet (my host) in pure panic and said 

"I forgot to bring CHANGE!"

The little girl stood there patiently waiting not letting the bow out of her sight! 

When I finally got change together and handed her the receipt, 

the bow and her change she was beyond excited!
