Bow ties!

I'm going to change the subject today!

Girls love bows and there is nothing prettier than a bow well-tied.  Sister Marjorie Hinckley, President Hinckley's wife, could tie a beautiful bow that laid flat and streamers hung down.  Her Niece Joan, tells of spending the night as a young girl and how her Aunt Marge asked her if she would like her to tie her sash for her.  She had trouble tying the bow on her own and when she saw how beautiful it looked she asked her how she did it and here are the directions from Sister Hinckley- in her own words.....

"First, tie the sash once as you always do.  Then see which sash is coming out on top and which one is coming out underneath.  Make the bow loop in the underneath sash, and then bring the top sash straight down across the base of the loop and through; then pull it tight.  Smooth it out and you're done.  The important thing is to always bring the top one straight down, around, and through."

(from Sister Hinckley's book... Glimpses)

Now you can practice and be ready for ponytails, ribbons, sashes etc.!!  No more kitty-corner/catty-wumpus bows.  lovely!

My heart goes out to all the Mothers, at this busy time,  preparing their children to head into the new school year.  I saw this site for making fun lunches.  Maybe someone will be crazed enough to take the time to make one or two of these!!!  They do look fun!  The site has several different ones.  Enjoy!
