Knitty Bitty Apparel is.....officially on vacation

I've tidied up the shop, and I just put all my orders in the mail. It's such a good feeling to be completely "caught up" with orders. It really doesn't happen too often---I always have projects lingering around, but when I go out of town, I have to get everything caught up. I'm going to be leaving tomorrow to visit family and I'll be returning on Tuesday. I wanted to get a vacation banner for my Etsy shop and found mana moon studios. She made the cutest banner for me in less than 24 hours. I just love it---and everyone will know I'm on vacation!

Here's all the orders going out today

Angelina Ballerina Necklace

I'm just thrilled to finally say that my little girl actually likes something that I made for her. I purchased this angelina ballerina bead months ago with the intentions of making her a bracelet. When I got the bead, it was much larger that I anticipated----so I made a necklace out of it. I LOVE the way it turned out and I'm just tickled that Josie wants to wear it. I made it yesterday morning and she hasn't wanted to take it off. Anyone else want one ; - ) I thinking I'm going to be making lots more necklaces!!

Pink Sweet Peas and Cream

I just now finished this little hat up. The photographer, Cari Lyn, did decide she wanted a pink striped hat to go with the set. I love the way this one turned out---I always like pink hats ; - ) I did use darker color peas---can you even tell? I'll be listing them in my Etsy shop----anyone interested?

Here are the other three!

New Tooth Fairy Beads

Here is my newest set of beads. Aren't they just precious!! I just love them. I got them because my daughter just loves the tooth fairy---and she's only three and a half. We've talked about the tooth fairy and how she leaves a coin under your pillow in the middle of the night when you leave her your tooth. So, whenever she finds a coin around the house she thinks it's from the tooth fairy. It's cute! So, I thought she'd like a tooth fairy bracelet. Hopefully I can make one this week and post it for you to look at. And, of course, I'll be carrying them in my shop!!

Ribbon Tied Jewelry Box

Hello!! Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I haven't been doing any creating or anything around the house for that matter for the past week or so. I had a family member in and out of the hospital two times in the past two weeks, so it's been crazy around here---and my schedule has been really off. So, hopefully I'm going to be getting back on track.

I came up with a new way to "gift wrap" my jewelry boxes. I think it turned out really cute---and a great way to use up those little scraps of ribbon that we all have. It is just one piece with the ends taped to the back and then I just tied on the other scrap piece. Voila!

This particular box is on its way to Illinois. It is filled with a watermelon bracelet and is packaged with the coordinating hat and onesie. It packaged up rather nicely ; - )

ooppss...sorry I forgot to rotate the pic before I uploaded it---but you get the idea.

Sweet Peas and Cream

This is my newest hat creation---sweet peas and cream. Last week a very talented photographer, cari lyn, contacted me about creating these hats for her. She wanted them in newborn size to take pictures of her newborn clients. I CANNOT wait to see some of these pics---which she promised to share with me. I think I'll list them in my Etsy shop, but I'll create a pink one too!

Trio of Bitty Bugs

Here are the most recent things I've put in the mail. On the same day, I received orders for three bitty bug hats--- and one coordinating onesie. This is one of my favorite boy hats---I just love the green/blue stripes.

Here's Quen in his bitty bug hat....I think he was about 6 months old.
