Our First Review!

I was so surprised and excited a few days back when Katie @ Katie's Nesting Spot emailed me to ask permission to use some pictures from my website. Why you may ask? She was planning a Review of Sew Fierce to be published today! Katie was the winner of my Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day, and on top of that she purchased a separate outfit she had been eying for awhile. I am so honored she would do a Review of my shop and clothing and even more I am excited at how much she and her daughter enjoy them. Seeing someone so happy with something I made with my own hands is an amazing feeling. So stop by Katie's Nesting Spot and see what she has to say about us. Thanks again Katie you are the sweetest!!

Pixie Bows Review & Giveaway

Adorable, colorful and creative. Three little words to characterize a fantastic business owned my woman and mothers. Pixie Bows was created by Shannon and Holly. Their vision for their company started in 2005 after the birth of their first children. The goal of Pixie Bows is to change the look of hair accessories for little girls. Whether it is eclectic or girly they wanted to design a line that could be individualized to every little girl.

Pixie Bows has two homes. Macon, Georgia and Laguna Nigel, California. By being established on both Coasts this gives them the insight and opportunity to understand the different Coastal styles. Pixie Bows offers a large variety of hair accessories. Flower Clips, Felt Clips, Baby Snaps, and Small Bows. Velcro is added to all bows to keep the clips in place and the edges of the ribbon are heat sealed to prevent fraying.









My daughter C was so excited to pick out her bow to tryout. She picked the Princess Small Bow with an adorable pair of pink ballet slippers in the middle. However when it came time to try it out it was my youngest M that fell in love with bow and would not let C have it. She walks around saying "pretty" and pointing to her head. I guess Pixie Bows are a hit!





How to get your own Pixie bows:


Buy Them: Go to Pixie Bows and place your order.


Win Them: Pixie Bows is offering any (1) Baby Snap and (1) Small Bow from their site for 1 lucky winner, you choose!!

A Little Girl Needs Daddy
A little girl needs Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding her high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells her all is right
When she awakens frantic with
The terrors of the night.

Like being the great mountain
That rises in her heart
And shows her how she might get home
When all else falls apart.

Like giving her the love
That is her sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
She'll always find him there.

Moobear Designs Review & Giveaway

What a great concept! "Designed by children, made by adults.. Not the other way around!" This is but one of many great ideas that drives Moobear Designs. This company was started based on the love of arts and crafts and the environment.

All 6 of Moobears wonderful designs are inspired or created by their children. Every shirt is made from 100% cotton that upholds the environmental safe methods. The designs are handmade using recycled fabrics so each shirt is unique and different from the next.

C received her shirt and loved the flowers immediately. I love how soft the t-shirt fabric is and the design is adorable. It seems to have it's own free flowing energy. Must be due to the love that goes into each handmade piece. C gives hers a "thumbs up"!
