Prom

Ever since starting Cutie Chewies I have wanted it to include not only infant & children gear but I also wanted to have things that catered to the most important person in our child's lives MOMS!

I am a mom and I know that sometimes we get carried away buying our children things and don't think about getting something nice for ourselves! That is why in the not too distant future I will be rolling out some new items that cater to moms.

A few of the items that you can expect to see will be: Re useable grocery bags, re-useable snack bags (for any family member), lunch bags & totes.

If there is anything that you, as a mom, would like to see me make please do not hesitate to contact me either through this site or through Facebook and let me know about it! You never know, if you suggest something you might just get one for free!

Check out our Facebook page for a chance at several giveaways this weekend!! Our online auction for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation is still going on and this weekend only every $25 donated will trigger a special giveaway!! Once we reach $550, $575, $600 etc free and discounted items will be given away! The list of items includes:

Free crayon roll

Another night up until 1:30am working on orders.. I love the peace and quiet of the house when it's late but I am starting to feel it in the early morning, that's for sure!

I got a decent amount accomplished tonight, 2 orders will definitely be going out in the mail tomorrow, possibly three if I can get my hubby to deal with the kids for an hour or so tomorrow afternoon. Fingers Crossed on that one.. if it doesn't go out tomorrow it will definitely go out the next day.

Besides the two orders I have ready to ship I have 2 other orders that I have halfway done. I'm trying to keep to a 1-2 week schedule for smaller items like Chewies and toys and 4-6 week for quilts.. So far I'm doing it, there are a few orders I'm waiting on the mailman to deliver my fabric before I can get certain things done, that's a pain in the butt.

Considering everything I feel like I am doing pretty good. Having 2 children, a husband, a house, 2 dogs and fibromyalgia can take a lot out of a person so just that I'm keeping my head above water is great in my book. I've also been homeschooling my daughter so yeah, I'm pretty busy! haha

I just hope that people who are waiting for orders or have waited in the past are just understanding that I am doing my best to get things done in the amount of time I have in a day. Some days there just aren't enough hours! I try not to rush orders because I like to take the time that each order requires in order for it to be made right.

I feel like the great thing about Cutie Chewies, is the chance to have something handmade with love from someone totally customized to how you would like it. I try to take the time with each order and customer to fully understand what it is they are looking for so I can make sure the order is exactly how they like it. I really hope that shows through in my work, and my customer service and I look forward to making more items for more children for long into the future. Thank you so much for being a fan of Cutie Chewies! I really appreciate it!

I love Fridays, like Saturdays but Sundays I could do without! Sundays always remind me that 1) there aren't enough hours in the weekend to do what I need to do and 2) that Monday is right around the corner!

This weekend I got a decent amount of work done but it is never as much as I'd like to get done! Bad thing about being a mommy first is I have to take care of my mommy duties before I can sit down and sew.

I have been working every day since October 7th so tonight I'm taking the night off and going to bed early. Not going to bed until 1am and then taking care of my son who is teething and not sleeping well all night long has caught up with me. Tomorrow will be Monday and I'll be back to the grind!

Don't forget about the auction for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation going on over at our Facebook page and also be on the look out for "Hookin It by Bella Beanz" to hit their 1000th fan.. Cutie Chewies will be donating two infant chewies to their 1000 fan auction! Why don't you go over and "like" their page and help them get there a little faster?? Go ahead!

Well I am off to bed, tomorrow I'll be hitting the post office to send out some orders and freebies.

Remember that this Friday October 21st is the last day of the 30% off sale for Christmas orders!! Don't miss out on getting your Christmas orders in while I am guaranteeing delivery before Christmas arrives. As we get closer and closer to Christmas it will depend on how many orders I have whether I can promise to have an order finished for beneath the tree, so get them in now at the sale price!!

I'm signing off, go like "Hookin It by Bella Beanz" and I'll see ya'll on the flip-side!

Why don't you leave me some <3 and let me know what sorts of giveaways, contests or prizes you want to see for blog readers!!

It is one of those days I wish I was still in bed, but orders must go out! So I must keep sewing! At least the kids are visiting Grandma and I don't have to worry about trying to sew around them.

While I'm taking my break I just wanted to pop onto the computer real quick and give a little shout out to the auction for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation that is going on over at our facebook page! Its for a great cause and there are a ton of items up for auction that would make awesome Christmas gifts! Several of which are made by yours truly :-)

While you are over there you might want to place a bid, or two, or fifty! There is a contest going on right now that if we break the $600 mark by Sunday night there will be a huge giveaway! Tons of free and discounted stuff will be given away and every bid placed counts as one entry into the drawing! So go over there and place some bids and not only help PCF but you might win some free stuff too!

Just click on the "contact us" tab up top and click the "like us on facebook" button!

Off to sew some more.. Dont forget to answer the poll question I posted yesterday and leave a comment with your email to get a coupon for the new item I'm planning on rolling out within the next week or so!

Have a great day everyone, hopefully the sun is shining where you are cuz it is pretty gloomy here!

Laying here thinking before I doze off for an hour before my son wakes up and I'm wondering.. What do your kids like to travel with? I've been getting tons of new ideas lately and I'm trying to figure out which ones to turn into products and which ones aren't really worth it.

I know my daughter always has a sippy and some sort of snack with her in the car, and on longer trips she loves to color with her color wonder markers.  I'm wondering what some older children like to do, since my daughter is only three.

Leave me a comment telling me what sorts of things you are having to haul with you in the car and what sorts of things you are always finding laying in the backseat :) Might be some coupons in it for you..
