Challenge Accepted!

I am so excited to announce that I've been added as a new designer with Boutique Challenge Auctions! 

They are a groups that is made up of several designers of all styles (clothing, accessories, hair pretties, jewelry, etc.) that host 2-3 themed auctions a month. Just this past month they did a Steampunk/Renaissance styles auction (which is still OPEN I might add!) as well as mini April Showers auction! Too cute! 

There's more auctions coming up in the next two months and I'll be sure to share everything on here! 

Now off to think of designs!

I LOVE a good test, a pattern test that is!

Once again I had to honor of testing a pattern for Simple Life Co, and it is SO adorable!

One thing I love about the Breanna pattern is the options ... shorts, carpi's, pants, with or without the peek-a-boo, create strings or use ribbons for the bows ... its amazing!!! Personally I love the carpi's and shorts with the peek-a-boo, so sweet and girly!

 

I love the front wait band on theses. Have the elastic only in the back and flat front give them a much more polished look!

 

The rise on these pants is also amazing. There's room for movement but not too baggy. And for the smaller sizes it can definitely handing a little diaper booty, maybe not a fit a bulky cloth diaper as well but it would still work. 

These are truly and amazing pattern. Katie's directions, measurements, and fit are great!  These pants will definitely make their debut in a few Tiny Hiney Special Collections this summer!!!

Here's where you can find the Breanna Shorts, Capri's, and Pants Pattern as well as all the other amazing patterns by Simple Life Co.

Now, you can't make capri's without an adorable top to match right! I've been sitting on the Alyssa Top by Made for Mermaids for awhile, and for this outfit it just spoke to me! 

The simplicity of the style just makes the floral print stand out so much more, and I am SOOO in love with the color scheme! 

And while mannequinn pictures are great, model ones are even better! Isn't this little cutie just full of sass! Love it! 

 

 

Perfection right here! 

This adorable outfit along with a few other limited designs will be debuting on the Tiny Hiney Business Big Cartel Store Monday April 20th at 7pm EST. There are 3 design styles, in 3 different color schemes. BUT there's only 6 items in the entire collection! So mark your calendars and set your alarms!

Welcome to April!

Its officially SPRING! Here in Hawaii we live in a constant Spring/Summer, but I know for some people things are finally starting to defrost. And that means more time outside, cute little outfits, and lots of FUN!

New month also means a new logo ... check out the TH Easter themed logo!

Of course designed by the talented Maria at Style Graphic Design!

April has A LOT going on, but two of my favorite things are Month of the Military Child and Autism Awareness! 

I'm was a military child; and now I'm married to Marine and my boys are military kids! I love this life and all the good & bad that comes with it. But I know it can be hard on the kiddos. Constantly moving, changing schools, having to say goodbye to friends, family, and especially a parent. Technology in this age definitely makes things a bit easier but it's still a tough life! 

One of my all time FAVORITE things to make is Homecoming Outfits. There's just something really special about mommy or daddy coming home. It doesn't matter if it's only been a month or 12 months! 

Here's a few on my favorites ... 

 I'm sure these little men were happy to get Daddy home!

 

 I have materials and embroidery designs for all branches of service!

These matching outfits were for three sisters!

 Like I said, homecomings are HAPPY! 

Here in Hawaii, we even add a little Island flair to homecoming style! 

Homecomings are fun! They're full of overwhelming joy, relief, and gratitude! But at the same time they are stressful! The date and time changes at least 10 times and the waiting seems to take forever! 

Because of this, and as a way to give back, I never charge a rush fee on a homecoming outfits. You have enough to worry about, I don't need to add to it! So if I can get it finished before the white bus pulls up, your little will be perfectly dresses to say WELCOME HOME!

If you every need something let me know! To see more styles and ideas check out the Facebook Military Album and for other embroidery designs check out the Pinterst Board (Pinterst is still a little under construction as I'm moving everything over from Facebook, so make sure to "follow" so you can see all the new stuff as it's pinned!

Another one of the great causes this month is Autism Awareness.

Neither one of our boys have tested on the spectrum, they still have their special needs. I also have several friends that have children on the spectrum. I love all the differences about these little kids that make them even more special! 

I know that a lot of boutique groups and even fabric designers get into the spirit of awareness and have charity auctions, special fabric collections that donate, and other local events. I made these pieces last year, and had enough fabric to re-do them this year! I'm hoping I can get them into one of the boutique groups for an auction. 

The beautiful bow and chunky necklace were made by my amazing friend over at Munchkin n Pumkpins Bowtique!

 

Both of these are made using the fabric collection Pieces of Hope by Riley Blake Designs. And this year he came out with updated version of the collection!

Definitely hoping to snag some of these prints for next year! 

I know there are a bunch of causes this month and they each are so important. These two are just close to my heart and I wanted to spot light them a little more! 

Up next ... more pattern testing!!!! Stay tunes are 2 beautiful new patterns coming soon!
