I have neglected my blog for WAY too long. I am in serious need of a scheduling overhaul for pretty much everything. I've been so swamped lately that every time I sat down to post on my blog something has come up. A ton has gone on and I am definitely going to start keeping up with blogging better.
You are all my witnesses!
So...Spring Break has come and gone. The kids weren't fond of me during that time frame b/c the entire house got an overhaul. I went through every little nook of the house (and yes, even the garage) and purged and organized.
With my renewed Spring organization also came a schedule. That's right....I said it. A schedule! I have been plotting and planning and jotting down things on my calendar. I am ready for the spring and the renewal it brings.
In the shop I've been adding some SUPER cute bags and wallets. The tote bags are my favorite and are really incredibly versatile. You can use them as purses, beach bags, sleepover bags for the kiddos when they go to their slumber parties. So much fun, and really adorable. Check them out!
Also, if you have a girl's sports team and are looking for a fun way to make them stand out let me know. I love making bows all the time, but it's really fun making a whole team full of super cute girls bows. And you get a discount for group orders...Who doesn't love that?

My Office Organizing Makeover
Definitely a work in progress, but I did make a lot of improvement last night! Let me start out by saying that my office is NOT that big. It is in fact a quite small walk-in closet.
I worked on one area. The ribbon. Wonder where all the ribbon missing from the craft store shelves goes? It goes straight to my office. I have enough ribbon to decorate a small army of divas for quite some time. I thought (foolishly) that I had part of a wall of ribbon...I actually have almost two walls FULL of ribbon.
I have been so busy working on new bows lately that I haven't been rolling up my ribbon after I'm done cutting....SO here is the chaos that was my office before I started organizing it...
(yes that's right there's another wall behind me that is also full of ribbon, but it is also all nice and neat like this now)
I'm still working on the ribbon walls. They need to be organized by color (I have some obsessive impulses that tell me so) and I'm really trying to get the hubby to make me better ribbon storage than the hangers. I, unlike "Mommy Dearest" can see the value in wire hangers now though. So there's a plus right?
Ideally, I think a nice sectioned shelf with some dowel rods would be AWESOME for my ribbon storage....but after the hubby sees the massive amounts of ribbon I actually have, maybe he'll get moving on that shelf a little faster.
I intend on taking more pics and sharing more of my horrendous before pics as the project progresses. My fabric is next and I think I've found a great way to organize that too. It's the yarn that has me worried...no idea what to do with it.
What are your organizing pitfalls? What would you like to do with your crafting/work spaces?

Yes I was working in chaos. Don't judge. :)
And THIS is what ONE of my walls of ribbon looks like after one night of tidying up

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
