Hip Bow Potamus Designs

Hey there, HipBow fans!

I know it's been a looooong while since I've posted anything. I've had a lot going on in life in the last few years but I'm thinking about creating again as I really miss making you all hair pretties!

Trying to gauge interest to see if there's still anyone out there interested in ordering. I still have a ton of supplies in stock to work with! Pictured is an order I did this month for some woven headbands with bows. 🎀

If you have a moment and could drop a comment to let me know if you see this and are still interested it would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Good morning!!

I realize that things have been incredibly quiet on my page for the past year. I have done a few orders but haven't been posting much. I think everyone has dealt with this pandemic in different ways. For me, my creative juices were just not flowing and I made my entire focus my family, myself and our health and mental wellness.

I hope that things will be different for 2021. What that entails for HipBowPotamus Designs is still to be determined. At this time, all of my supplies are packed away because we are moving in March. Once we're all settled I will be making some changes, I will have some items to clear out and hopefully some new ideas to share. ☺️

In the meantime, if you need anything, please feel free to reach out to me!

Happy 2021! I wish you all the very best! ❤️

April is Autism Acceptance Month!

The amazing Autistic people in the world need to be appreciated, accepted and celebrated every single day, not just in April. ❤️ I say acceptance rather than awareness because just being aware is nowhere near enough. It isn't the right word to use. The best thing you can do to learn more about Autism is to talk to Autistic adults! They are the true experts. 😊

Such an important thing to consider and reflect on during these times. We're always so busy with the hustle and bustle of life, that many people don't reflect on what's important in their lives. In the every day and the bigger picture. What do we want our new normal to look like?

My hope is that people become more selfless, more considerate of others and more aware. That we take better care of ourselves, others and this amazing planet we call home. Make in person connection a priority rather than sitting on our phones or tablets. Take ownership over their own actions rather than placing blame on others. Being more empathetic and understanding of other people's situations because you never know what they have going on in their lives. Sometimes even your closest friends or family members are keeping things close to the vest. We all have struggles and handle them in different ways. Reach out to family and friends more often. Keep in touch. Live. Love. Laugh. Smile! ❤️

Does anyone watch Lego Masters on Fox? My little man is obsessed with Lego so I started recording it for him. My daughter also loves Lego! We watch the show as a family each week and we absolutely love it. It's a competition based show with new challenges every week and one team gets eliminated each time.

We decided to create our own Lego Masters challenge.

The rules were as follows:
1h 30 min to create
1 building is at least 12 inches tall
Have to build 2 buildings

It was SO much fun and honestly, the time literally flew by. I urge anyone with Lego lovers to give it a try! Work on motor skills, creativity and imagination, engineering, communication and bonding over something FUN!

Do your kids like to play with Lego?
Post a pic in the comments of one (or more) of their creations! 😁

How much fun do these look?? I already have lots of ways to keep my kids busy (at times lol) but I'm always looking for new, fun ideas! Variety is the spice of life. 😉

Do you have any awesome ideas you can share with everyone? What will you be doing to pass the time?
