A perfect match

I'm super picky about bows and accessories. If you've ever ordered from me you know I'm super picky about most things. If something is even a shade off I don't want to put it together. So if I ever find things that are a perfect match for my outfits I want to shout it from the roof tops. I'm not just searching for all my customers - I'm searching for my girls accessories!

So when I stumbled across this shop the other day I knew I had to tell everyone about her. Her name is Karla and she makes these adorable headbands that match perfectly with my mouse inspired clothes!

If you'd like to order please visit her shop here. Tell her Little Petunia Designs sent you. :)

These are fun too. Head2toedesigns makes these really cute mouse ear clips. She sells them already made with a bow or you can buy the DIY set and put it on your own clip. I've ordered from her in the past and her shipping is fast and the quality is fantastic! Visit her shop here. Here's a picture of her finished bows and a pic of my little petunias wearing theirs.

One more perfect match for you today. Missy over at Simply Missy has created these autograph books for you. I've ordered 3 myself and used them for our last Disney trip and we got so many compliments. Of course they look amazing with my outfits too. She has ones to match my girls line and boys line. Visit Missy here and see all the cute designs she has in her store.

Bow crafter challenge

Good Morning,

If you haven't heard I'm looking to collaborate with a bow maker this year. I'd like to expand to other crafters as the year progresses but for now I am starting slowly with bows. I've posted this on my facebook page but I'm mentioning it here as well. 

All the bows will be pictured on my facebook wall in a poll. You will vote on your favorite design. I'd like to work with the winner designing custom bows that will be pictured with my outfits. If you know of a bow crafter who would like to participate in the vote leave me a comment.

Voting begins January 17th.

This is the dress that they are matching...

Where has the time gone....

So it's been over two years since I've been active on this blog. I got so wrapped up in the sewing portion of my business I neglected the fun stuff. :) This is something I've been wanting to revitalize but never know how to start so I figured the best way was to just start posting. Rocket science huh?

So get ready to hear more from me as I reintroduce myself to you and tell you about daily life running an etsy shop and balancing three kids.

Why didn't I think of that?

When you lose your cell phone where is the first place you should look? Is it the kitchen desk because that is where you usually put your keys, phone and mail? Maybe it's your purse because you put your phone in there when you are out and about? Or sometimes you might drop it right inside the door of the house because you have so many things that you are carrying you just need to put them down? No, nope, not a chance. You must first look in your daughters tinkerbell jewelry box because your 2 year old has an obsession with pretending to call Grandma! Now if you are reading this and you know me even just a little bit you can guess that I was probably running late to get somewhere. Of course you would be right. I try to squeeze so much into such a short amount of time that it always backfires on me. Anyway we were trying to leave today and I have to spend an hour searching for my phone. Thank the Lord for facebook! I was able to post and ask someone to call it so that I could find it. These crazy kids are trying to over throw the dictatorship that we have here. I'm not going down without a fight! But then again I wouldn't have much to talk about without them.

As far as Little Petunia news I am working on a new design for a tunic shirt/dress. I also have some toddler boy designs coming out. If there's anything you would like for a boy please drop me a note. I'm always looking for inspiration.

Hubby's description of our children..

I thought this was hilarious. My husband sent an email to an old friend of his today and in the email he wrote a little description of our children.

Our son just turned 6 and he's now in Kindergarten. He loves playing sports, right now he's in soccer and he's getting ready to start peewee hockey. Our oldest daughter was 4 in July and she is all about preschool right now. That's the first thing she asks each morning and it's all she talks about. Our baby who is two already is a master of destruction.

I love that each child got a little glimpse of their personality. I just think it's hilarious that the baby is only credited with her gremlin side. LOL
