BIG SALE!!! 25% off all short sleeve Bitty Braille Tees

I'm having a big sale right now on short sleeved tees. I'm ready for Autumn (I know, some of you hate to see summer end but...I LOVE Fall!) and I want to stock some long sleeved tees. I'll be ordering them soon and should have some samples made up by mid-September.

So, it's a great time to stock up on the short sleeve tees. They will still be available through the Fall & Winter but NOW is the time to get them on SALE :)

I've also added the Bitty Blankies and Hair Clips to the site. I'm so happy with both of these new products.

Anyway, go check out the big SALE and the NEW goodies :)

Calling all girly girls...


Some new fabulous hair clips with your very own initial in Braille. Great for bitty girls AND big girls too :)

These hair clips came out just like I pictured them in my head (and I'm always so pleased when it works that way!). I'm very happy with them and once I get some pics of these babies in use and looking adorable in my favorite model (*cough* neighbor), I'll be adding them to the Bitty Braille website.

They feature the new faceted rhinestuds and all four colors match perfectly to the tee colors that I carry for girls. (now to come up with an item just for boys!)

A tee and set of clips would make a great gift, I think. So, if you have any birthdays coming up, you now have the perfect gift idea ;-)

Important Notice posted at Bitty Braille

I just finished posting a notice on my Bitty Braille site about my switching over to faceted metal studs for the girls shirts. There has been recent concern over the lead content of Swarovski crystals so to be on the safe side, I will be using the new faceted metal studs. They are not quite as sparkly but are equally adorable. I'll be making up some samples soon and will switch the photos over to the new tees. Stay tuned....

Bitty Blanky Sneak Peek


Ok, so here's a sneak peek of my latest product, currently in development. I think I've worked out all the kinks and now it's just a matter of getting some good pics of the blankets.

They are a lovey size (approx. 17" square) with super soft fine wale cream corduroy on one side, plush minkee dot on the other; then one corner has a polar fleece rectangle with blanket-stitched felt dots in the pattern of baby's first inital. I also embroidered the letter on the rectangle. So, what do you think??? I gave one to my neighbor and she loves it.

The great thing about these blankets is that there is lots of different textures that baby loves. I'm so happy to be offering this new item soon. Be sure to check the website soon.

Oh and how do you think I should spell blanky? Blankie? Blanky? Blankey? Blanket? Help!

New product in the works at Bitty Braille!

I'm so excited to be working on a new Bitty Braille product. It's SOOO cute and I think it will be well received. I've been making up prototypes, working out all the kinks. I finally settled on a great design and gave my finished sample to my neighbor who just had a baby boy.

Now, I'm going to keep the suspense up for a little and not tell you what it is...but here are some clues.

1. Ok, well the first is that it's obviously for a baby (seeing as I mentioned my neighbor's new sweetie)
2. It's super soft and lovable
3. It's monogrammed in Braille

Ok, that's it. I'll post more later as I make up more samples and take some pics. You're gonna love it!!!

New charms at Bitty Braille


I decided to sell my Braille birthstone charms over at Bitty Braille as well as my etsy shop. They are a good fit for the collection seeing as they have to do with children. I've had a great response from people who have ordered them. They make a unique gift and were very popular for Mother's Day.

Changes...


You'll notice some color changes on my blog...they are to reflect the fact that I'll be posting about my newest venture, Bitty Braille, and I thought it deserved to have some of its' colors shown here too.

I thought about starting another blog just for Bitty Braille but it's just too many blogs for one person! (I have Indie Diner that get's posted to every day and Finding Wonder, my homeschool blog) And since, officially, Bitty Braille is really just a collection under the julie*ann handmade goods name, it shouldn't really have it's own blog. I feel like Bitty Braille is taking on a life of its own and maybe it should be it's own entity but for now, it will stay under the safety of the julie*ann umbrella :)

I've really been focusing most of my energy to getting this collection out there and I must say, it is paying off. I've had a number of orders and many compliments on the concept. You can click on my little logo over there to the right to head straight on over to the Bitty Braille shop.
