Things to LOVE for Fall

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm ready for Fall. More ready than I think I've ever been before in my life. After the exhausting heat and drought of the summer I am welcoming Fall weather with open arms.

Looking through all of the awesome things I'm finding on Pinterest is making me more and more anxious for some autumn leaves, cooler temps, football and all the other school events.

My little diva started Pre-K this year and she's really enjoying it. I miss having her home all day, but it's really exciting when she comes home from school hearing all of the neat things she learned that day.

My older daughter is a Middle School cheerleader (yeah, yeah...I'm getting old. I know) and I'm looking forward to snuggling in a blanket on the bleachers with the family watching her cheer our team to victory.

And in honor of cheerleaders and sports fans everywhere I am now making Spirit Bows. I'm starting with the town I live in and a few of the surrounding towns. I think it's so much fun to see everyone in the town bonded together, dressed in school colors, and cheering for their teams.

I have also been trying out recipes that make me think of fall. I was browsing through "Spiced Apple" recipes (and by browsing I mean, I Googled it) and found this little gem:

Spiced Apples in a slow cooker??? Who knew? When I think slow cooker I think of roasts and stew....not yummy delicious desserts. But, apparently there are many desserts that can be made in a slow cooker and I intend on trying a good chunk of them. Why? Because it's nice to be able to start dinner in the morning and not have to worry about it again until it's time to eat in the evening. Plus, I may or may not have forgotten to thaw something for dinner on more than one occasion....I can't be the only one, can I?

What are your favorite things about Fall?

Why YES we're very Pinteresting

Heaven help me...I'm addicted to Pinterest. And not in a healthy way I'm afraid. I can sit and Pin for hours...and hours...and HOURS!

It's like shopping for people like me that are to lazy to go out and meander around the mall.

Cookbooks? What's that...I just go to my Pinterest and all sorts of yummy treats appear before my eyes. And with instructions on how to make them no less. (that is if the ingredients happen to be in my kitchen at the time)

And lets not forget the amazing makeup and hair tutorials

Crafts...awesome ideas...cool products... I mean seriously, why bother looking at any other sites, or working, or cleaning the house. I'm too busy pinning awesome organization tips so that in the event I do get off of Pinterest. I can blankly stare at the chaos around me and then hop back on Pinterest to check out that pin I remember pinning (and then get lost for another couple of hours in Pinterestland)

And guess what?....I want to follow all of you. So, if you have a Pinterest post it here so we can see everyone's awesome pins. And if you don't have a Pinterest...get thee to www.pinterest.com immediately and get one. You'll be hooked. I guarantee it. *

*I don't actually guarantee that you'll be hooked....but if you're not, I would be in complete shock.

So follow us on Pinterest and join in on all the fun.
Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ as well...because we LOVE sharing.
 (at least when it doesn't involve sharing cookies or cupcakes... if I find them they're MINE all MINE)

Manic Monday

I've been making some really fun things this week. New bows and super new (for me anyway) mini top hats.

I will be getting pics of and posting new mini top hat designs this week. All of the mini top hats will be one of a kind (OOAK) And you can even order a custom design and color.

I'm always looking for new sweet and fun things to make! If you have an idea something you think would make an awesome new addition to our shop send me a message on our Facebook page or our Email and if we do end up adding it to the shop as a new item you will get one of them first...and at everyone's favorite price...FREE!!


On the holiday front, Mother's Day is coming up quick and here are just a few of my friend's shops that have some fantastic items for your mom (or for yourself)

Powers Of Love has some really fun photo albums and picture frames that would make a great gift for moms to keep those precious pics in:

Crimson Hill Soaps and Scents has a wonderful selection of soaps, lotions, and perfumes to pamper mom with. My favorite is the Mandarin Tiki!

And of course at Crimson Hill Designs you can find beautiful wire wrapped rings!

Don't forget to join the fun and discussions on our Facebook and Twitter. Or just stop by and say "Hi". There's always something new going on and we love to hear from you!

Bringing in Spring

I've been busy the past week making some really fun things for Spring.

First thing I want to mention is our new bitty clips lines. They're little bitty clips that are really great for babies and for teens too! There are three sets currently available with more in the works very soon.

Dots Bitty Clips (Set of 8)

Zebra Bitty Clips (Set of 8)

 Rock Star Bitty Clips (Set of 8)

I've also been working on some bright and beautiful spring inspired bigger bows. The details on these bows are so fun. Especially the ones with the tiny bow accents. These spring colored bows are going to be really adorable accessories for Easter dresses and Spring pictures.

Sage Green Dizzy Dots Layered Bow

Spring Blue Dizzy Dots Layered Bow

Spring Pink Dizzy Dots Layered Bow

And of course...we can't forget the divas! So I created this fun and funky lavender zebra bow with the diva in mind. It's a little over the top..but that's what divas do best!

Purple Zebra Layered Bow

Hopefully you find a couple of bows that you and your gals will really enjoy. If you have any suggestions on designs you'd like to see let me know. Also, if you have an outfit that you need a matching bow for I am always happy to do special orders.

I'm going to continue getting ready for Spring with more great designs...and maybe the weather will move towards Spring with me
