Welcome!

Welcome to the

**Itty Bitty Boutique**

Well, I have decided to bring all my creativity, good ideas, bad ideas, ideas from others, and everything fun to this new blog! Check out the column to the right, there are links to see each product for sale, check prices, or just to get ideas.

Itty Bitty Boutique has been in the back of my mind for a very long time! Since I was 5 years old running down the soccer field I have been called Bitty. As I "grew up" and my family realized I was not "growing up" an addition was made to the name, Itty Bitty, short for little Bitty. So, since I played soccer every year until my senior year of High School, the name stuck. It even ended up on my soccer warmup suit. And eventually ended up in my wedding video! Pictures of myself growing up to the tune of Alan Jackson's "It's alright to be Little Bitty. Needless to say, the nickname has stayed with me forever. So, it just made sense to name my business after me, right?

Well, let me give you a brief statement of what you can expect on this site. I LOVE to try new things, which means my house is covered in "projects" Some finished, some not so much! But I still had fun and learned a lot. So, this blog is to share those with you! Also, to let you share your ideas! Any new projects you complete, try, or have an idea for we will post them with your name! I am not here to take all the credit! I LOVE to scrapbook, make cards, paint, make decor pieces, change up my furniture, do wooden craft projects, make bows, and sew lots of fun things~ receiving blankets, birp cloths, skirts, car seat covers, curtains, you name it! On this Blog you will be able to browse my projects to get ideas, or you can shop for the items I have made to take less time and to make it easier for you! Plus, I have a lot of pretty amazing friends that have items for sell, or photography to offer to you alongside me! (If you are offering things and your name is not listed, please email me and I will put you up!)

So, have fun! Browse everything, let me know what you think, and let me know if you would like to order something. Remember what you see is NEVER just what you get. I can take requests on sizes, colors, patterns, and if you find some fabric you would like to use bring it on over and I will make what you want. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!

Season Blocks

This is one of my favorite items! So cute, and so easy!

Did you ever realize that all 4 seasons have all the same amount of letters? Well, I didn't. (maybe I am just slow, haha) Well, this is an idea I got from my sister, Jamie. She had them in her house and I just loved them! Which I am sure all of you do too! It is such an easy and cute addition to your house to add color for each season!

These blocks are all painted black and then have different colors and patterns to match the seasons. Since there are four sides to the blocks it works out perfectly for the four seasons.

This would be a great Christmas present for your Mothers, Sisters, Friends, etc. Or you can just buy one for yourself! ;)

Stay tuned for other models coming with baby words, little girl words, little boy words, etc.

**Pricing for these is TBA

Girl's Skirts/Dresses

We will be posting a lot more skirts and adding dresses, but for now this is an idea of what you can expect. We will have skirts and dresses for all ages. We will simply need the size or measurements of the skirt you need. We will also have a variety of colors and patterns to choose from in fabric. And we will also have different skirt and dress designs for you to choose from.


Here we have our first option in an A-line skirt. This is sized for a 4T, but as I said before we could make them larger or smaller. This is a cotton skirt with polyester ribbon along the bottom. the waistband is elastic. It is approximately 14" long.


**You can get this skirt for only $12.00



This is the entire skirt as you can see it is a black skirt with white polka dots


This is showing a closeup of the skirt and ribbon patterns

This is showing you that the corners of the skirt have a small slit in them to make it easier for your child to move around, sit indian style, etc. (we all know how much they move)
Stay tuned for more skirt and dress options coming soon!
If you are interested in purchasing this please send me the specifics desired in an email to

Cards and Invitations

Cards and Invitations, probably the most popular hand made product. How often do you give a card? Once or twice a month? More? Well, you are probably spending between $4 and $6 per card in the store. So, why not buy handmade cards that people will LOVE!

I have a HUGE selection of cards. They will all be posted soon, but to give you an idea I have a few pictures of what you could expect below.

We have a few options to choose from. You can buy single cards, but a package deal is probably the best way to go. That way you can always have cards on hand. Birthday, Thank You, Congratulations, Get Well Soon, Christmas, Just Because, and For a Friend. Just to name a few. Another great idea if you have children. I offer handmade invitations! Having a birthday party, wedding/baby shower, or an engagement announcement? This is a great way to have invitations that you know nobody else will have! Plus they are cute and cheap! Take a look at these pictures and prices and let me know if you would like to see more. I could email you some options and even send you a FREE card just for taking the time to look.

Here are two examples of cards.




Our single cards will range from $2.00 - $4.00 depending on the detail, size, and amount of products used to create it. You will see below that if you buy the packages instead of buying them individually, you will save money

First option is a Miscellaneous Package:

This will give you all the special occasions you need in one pack.
You will get 5 Birthday, 4 Thank You, 4 Congrats, and 2 Just Because/For a Friend

**That is 15 cards for only $25.00

Second option is an Event Package:
This will give you 10 cards for all the same event or occasion. You just choose what occasion. However, each card will be unique and come in a wide variety of colors and patterns.


**You will get 10 cards for only $18.00
Third option is an Invitation Package:

This will give you 10 invitations to the event of your choice. You can choose the theme, color, verbiage, and style of card and we will customize it for your event. We can make all of the invitations the exact same, or we can have fun with it like the cards shown in the picture below, they are similar, but still unique.

You can see here two invitations to the same baby shower, and two invitations to the same birthday party. Similar cards, but not exactly the same

** You will get 10 invitations for only $20.00
This is the front of the card that we tied closed with a bow
This is the front flap open, to show more pics

This is the inside with the Wedding details

We can make any car into a wedding invitation. We will make it classy, funky, and any colors and pictures you choose. If you choose the wedding invitation option and order more than 100 cards you will receive a significant savings and will receive many free gifts and discounted thank you cards!

Burp Cloth and Receiving Blanket

I have a variety of fabrics for making a burp cloth and a receiving blanket. We can make them specific colors, patterns, etc. Most of the time I make them in nuetral colors with some sort of baby theme. (green, yellow, orange, feet, duckies, polka dots, etc.) I sell them in packages with one blanket and one burp cloth. Three burp cloths. Or two receiving blankets. See below for the prices and variations. You can specify if you would like all the same pattern, different pattern same colors, or just a mixture of baby fabric. Either way they are very cute, and much cheaper than the ones in stores. Plus! What is better than a hand made gift, (I won't tell them you didn't make it! HAHA)
Below are the options:
Here we have two combos of Blanket and Burp Cloth with different fabric. The blanket and cloth will be matching fabric.

Wall letters

This is what they look like on my wall, above my window.

These letters come white. I originally painted them red to match my bedroom. After changing the colors of my room to brown and blue, they oviously didn't match. Instead of buying new letters, or painting over them again, I decided to go a little further and jazz them up a bit. I actually got the idea from my friend Mandy! She had black letters and put ribbon and flowers on them. So they didn't look exactly the same, I covered them with scrapbook paper and then put ribbon and flowers on them. Really easy, and really cute!!!
Here is a better picture of the whole thing close up.



Here is what each letter looks like.



























  • You can have this "LOVE" wall decor in these colors or any colors you'd like!

** For only $15.00

  • You can also get a personalized word or name in any colors

** For only $15.00 (for 5 letters)

** Only $3.50 for each additional letter
