Fourth of July - Independence Day

Fourth of July bows

Just made these new stars and stripes bows in honor of Independence Day coming up for all the Americans.  Pictured is a set of two small bows.  They sell for SGD 9 per set.  Please email me at orders [at] sealyt.com if you'd like to get a pair.

Don't forget - the big American Association Fourth of July celebration to take place at the Singapore American School this weekend - 30th June.  See you and your kids there with their bows on!  =) 

New supplies

new supplies

I'm back after having been MIA for almost a month.  During my time away, i ordered some supplies from the states and new ribbons that i can't really get here in Singapore.  I got extra wide ribbons so that i can make extra large bows, which have been requested.  I also got something in preparation for the 4th of July and thinking ahead, Christmas.

In the states, i discovered that the whole bow phenomenon is even bigger than when i had left it and you can basically get them at any mall and nicer ones at better children's store.  It left me to think whether what i'm doing is still worthwhile.  In the end, i decided that it is, because there is still something to be said about handmade, personalized items made with love.  =) 

I am working on the extra large bows and also the 4th of July ones.  I'll post them for you once those are ready.
