Halloween is afoot...

2012-10-01T16:09:00.002-05:00

It's October! That means Halloween is just around the corner. We've been making up tons of spooky little bows and even a costume already. If you're looking for a Halloween costume or bow just shoot us a message. We'd love to make one up for you :) tweetcheek@gmail.com or contact us on Facebook.

Here's the adorable little Ghost outfit I made up this week. It consists of a Ghost Onesie / shirt, a tutu, and a matching bow. Order yours today for $45. Or you can order the shirt individually for $20. This would be super cute on a little guy with a pair of black pants and one of our newsboy hats!

And check out some of the bows we've made up so far :) Don't you just love Halloween stuff?!

Birthday Princess!

2012-06-14T14:05:00.000-05:00

We just finished up another adorable little birthday girl outfit. Miss Abbie is turning two this Saturday and she is going to look fabulous in her birthday gear! The sequenced tiara in the picture is adorned with a tiny pearl at each tip. The number two features a sparkly purple princess fabric and of course every birthday princess needs a tutu!

This outfit retails for $35 - $45 depending on the size and could be made with any number. To order a birthday outfit for your little prince or princess contact us via Facebook or Email: tweetcheek@gmail.com.

Lots of little bows

2012-04-27T13:08:00.000-05:00

We are constantly making new bows here at Tweet Cheeks. We do weekly to bi-weekly Quarter Autions, Craft fairs, have open houses, do custom orders, home shows, blog posts, and sell bows on facebook. So we keep busy. Unfortunately, sometimes we get a little too busy and we don't get pics of our new bows posted.

So I figured I would dedicate a blog post to a few bows we've made fairly recently.... I know there are far less pics here on our blog than there are on facebook, and sometimes I worry that our non-facebook fans may be discouraged by our lack of blog updates. Not to mention all of the bows that never get posted at all because I forget to take pics (oops!) before they are sold.

The vast majority of our bows can be replicated so I like to post pics of as many as possible so people can pick their favorite bow and I can remake it. Of course people can design their own bows too if they have something specific in mind...

So without further ado her are five new bows we've made as of late... If you'd like to order one just email us at tweetcheek@gmail.com or you can reach us via facebook.

Super Max!!

2012-04-26T16:13:00.000-05:00

Well, It took us a long time (no, really... a super long time!) but we finally ironed all of the kinks out of the super capes and have our first cape completely finished and ready to ship. There was one cape fatality and a lot of frustrated grumblings in the process.... but it was well worth it :) Our first cape was a special order for an amazingly cute little guy named Max... and here it is...

Capes can be done in other color combos and can be personalized with your little one's initial. This cape is $25 and is super magnificent! The closure is velcro to ensure safety. They are great for boys and girls... I know Cora and Parker love playing with the cape fatality mentioned above. lol.

These two gorgeous fascinators are headed out the door today, so I figured I'd post a pic of them before they go. They are going to adorn two adorable little flower girls' ringlets. I can't wait to see them in the girls' hair!

If you'd like a special piece made for your wedding please contact us. We'd love to make one!

New flip flops!

2012-04-11T11:13:00.000-05:00

We've been working on flip flops over here at Tweet Cheeks this week. We made up a few new pairs and figured we'd show them off. They are $15 a pair and oh so very cute!

The bottom two pairs were made up for Lil Miss Parker. We had her try on the black ones once we'd finished making them and we couldn't get her to take them back off after that! Parker got a matching bow for each pair of her flip flops too :)

Matching Pacifier Clips

2012-04-10T21:36:00.000-05:00

We've been making pacifier clips for awhile at Tweet Cheeks, but we haven't posted many pics in the past. So I made up a handful of new clips this last week and matched them up with our bows.

We can make paci clips to match most bows and can embellish them with flowers or bows if you'd like. As I did with this one you all saw last week...

And we can make them for boys too! I have a monkey one made up that would be great for a boy. and we just picked up some great airplane ribbon that is very boyish :) They range from 5 for a plain paci clip to 7 for an embellished clip and we have adapters for the pacifiers with buttons on the back instead of the ring (like MAM brand).

If interested just shoot us a message....

It's a bird, It's a plane, It's a Super Cape,,,,

2012-04-04T13:33:00.000-05:00

It's hard not to fall into the pigeon hole of "little girl boutique" when you make bows and tutus, but we try our best to stay diverse and to offer things for women, teens, and even little boys. We're constantly trying to come up with ideas for little boys. We carry ties, and boy bibs, ribbon loopie toys, shirts and paci clips... but when a friend asked if I could make a cape for her super toddler a light bulb went on above my head. What a great idea! Well it took a while to get the semantics figured out, as it often does when we decide to make or carry something completely new, but we finally have our prototype made up.
I snapped a few picuteres of it... What do you guys think?

I am Batman

Soaring through the air

To the rescue!

Cora LOVED! it. As soon as I put it on her she raised her arm in the air and shouted; "To the rescue!" I have no idea where she learned that, but I loved it :)

The cape is double sided and can be personalized with a symbol on the back such as a giant M on the back (which is what my friend has planned for her little Super Max's cape). The closure at the throat is velcro. No more scary strings tied around your baby's neck. Velcro is a much saver option!

Basic capes with a simple applique on the back (Such as a giant M) will be $25. Price may go up for more elaborate pieces or for large capes. Capes will take approximately 3 weeks to finish and color options other than red and blue are available.

Easter is hopping up on us....

2012-03-27T11:27:00.000-05:00

Easter is just around the corner. It's less than two weeks away and we have several Easter bows left in stock if you haven't picked one out for your little girl. This year we tried something new (as was suggested by one of our favorite customers Keri) and made some little chick bows.

And from there I decided that we definitely needed some little bunny bows...

So cute... I have great plans for non Easter versions of these bows... can't wait :) But in the meantime I have made up tons of other Easter bows in various styles and colors. And if you need a last minute custom to match your little darlings dress we still have enough time. Just get those orders in fast... or buy off of the rack (so to speak, lol).

If you are interested in an Easter bow... or any bow for that matter... just shoot us a message at tweetcheek@gmail.com or contact us via facebook.

Baby sets

2012-03-26T12:07:00.000-05:00

I have to admit that I'm a sucker for anything matchy matchy. In light of that fact, I'm sure you all wont be surprised to hear that I have had visions of baby sets dancing in my head for sometime. I have mentioned them here or there on our facebook page but hadn't really put a lot together to show you yet. Well, I'm going to try to start putting some things together now so you guys can see what I mean....

Here's a little zebra and hot pink set (Retails for $40). I had plans to throw a pair of legwarmers in there, but upon further inspection found that my zebra legwarmers had been sold. However, I can get more if you would like a pair :) This set was partially made up for a client that is in love with zebra and hot pink for her little doll baby (and oh my gosh I agree with her... it's such a cute combo!!). I could easily remake the set again if interested... and of course we could include a personalized shirt, tutu, petiskirt, or pillow case dress in hot pink and zebra.

The bloomers are a new product for tweet cheeks and cost $15. They are one size and according to the manufacturer they fit size 3mos-12 mos and up to a 4T without a diaper. I haven't tried them out yet though I can say that they have a lot of stretch to them and definitely think they could fit Cora (who is diaper free and wears a size 3T). They also come in cheetah with pink edging, black with pink hearts and pink edging, and white with a light pink bow (though I could change the bow out for a different color if you prefer). I plan on ordering more of these soon so if you're interested let me know and I'll make sure to get the pair you want.

And here's another little set that I posted on our facebook last week for the sport lover. I plan on doing one of these in a STL Cardinals baseball motif soon too....

These sets would make a great baby shower gift or a gift to give when the baby arrives. We can customize the set to your preference of course. If you're interested in ordering a set for your little one just shoot us a message at:

Opening day is upon us

2012-03-25T11:23:00.000-05:00

I am not a humongous sports fan so I don't normally keep up with things like when opening day is. However, since we started Tweet Cheeks, details such as this have become very important to me. Quite simply put; if it's important to my fans, then it's important to me. Soooo.... I have been busy at work making lots and lots of cardinals bows. After all, St. Louis is a huuuuggggeeee baseball town!
I have so many Cardinals bows on my list right now that I can't keep the baseball ribbon in stock. Seriously, I think I'm going to stock up today on the way to work. I'm going to clear the shelf.. lol. Which means I'll be ready to make even more baseball bows... so get your orders in while you can =)

And let's not forget the arch nemesis of all you Cardinals fans..... Da'Cubs!

Baseball season is upon us so order your team's bow today!

Adorable Little Shoes

2012-03-24T11:00:00.000-05:00

Tweet Cheeks has been adding tons of new products lately and one of them is shoes. Not only have we decided to start making these adorable little flip flops with bows, but we also have decided to carry crib shoes :)

A multitude of different bow types can be added to the flip flops to create a truly custom look... though we don't suggest super light or white bows as they are likely to become dirty very easily. We can also make a matching bow for your little one to wear in her hair to complete the set. We will be charging $15 for custom flip flops and will do our best to find the shoes in the color you want. If you are particular about your flip flops and only like a certain brand, then you are more than welcome to bring us a pair of flip flops and we will adorn them for you.

Crib shoes come in several patterns including:
Black and white zebra, hot pink and black zebra, pink cheetah, brown cheetah, black with white polka dots, pink with white polka dots, red with white polka dots, pink, black, giraffe, and cow.
Unfortunately, not all patterns are always in stock with our supplier so we will have to discuss the style you are looking for before ordering to determine what is available in the size you need. Once your crib shoes are in, we can add adorable little flowers or bows to the toes, and we can create a matching flower or bow for your little darlings hair too :) Crib shoes are $12 and may take a few weeks to get to you due to ordering.

If you have any questions or if you would like to order a pair of flip flops or crib shoes, just shoot us a message at tweetcheek@gmail.com. And be sure to check out our facebook page to see all of our great product.

Go Pink for October

2011-10-10T10:27:00.000-05:00

October is national breast cancer awareness month. Most of us know someone that has been affected by breast cancer. Personally, Sarah and I's great grandmother was affected by breast cancer along with many of our friends. So in honor of all of those whom are or have fought this battle we are going pink for October. We will be offering several breast cancer awareness bows and flowers for sale and part of our proceeds from them will be donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation.

This of course applies to any custom order breast cancer bow or flower. And remember we can back almost any bow on your choice of a alligator clip, french clip, headband, pony O, bobby pin, or a pin back. So you can use them in your hair or attach them to your favorite purse, necklace or sweater.

Order yours today... tweetcheek@gmail.com.

Have you hugged a nerd today?

2011-10-06T10:41:00.000-05:00

Yesterday as I logged onto the internet late in the evening my dear friend 'Facebook' informed me of the loss of Steve Jobs. And, though I'm fairly certain that none of my fb friends knew Mr. Jobs, the number of messages expressing grief over his loss was overwhelming. Quite simply, this man was great. He had an amazing impact on this world.

The cofounder of Apple and inventor of such amazing things as the Apple II, Macintosh, iPod, iPhone and iPad will be greatly missed. His death followed a long battle with cancer and took him away from the world well before his time. This is a sad day for so many, so if you're out and about in the world today make sure you hug a nerd.

And in honor of Steve Jobs here is our very own iBow.

2011-06-07T10:12:00.000-05:00

Well.. I've been working towards making bottle cap bows for a really long time. Well over 6 mos now. But it just kept getting pushed to the back burner. I'm pretty sure my procrastination was about to drive Sarah to an early grave. However, finally.. after much anticiapation.. and a lot of trial and error... I have started making bottle caps. Which means.. that's right folks.. we have bottle cap bows.

I can put just about any image on a bottle cap bow, as long as it is fairly small that is. Sports teams, cartoon characters, your little ones initials or monogram. And once you've chosen your bottle cap subject just pick your bow type. We can put bottle caps on korkers, loopy bows, stacked bows, big bows, small bows, even simple clippies.

So if you are interested in your very own personalized bottle cap bow please email us and let us know. They take a while to make so don't wait until the last minute :)

Birthdays!!

2011-05-26T09:39:00.000-05:00

Even old people like me (haha) still love the idea of birthdays, though we frown deeply upon the wrinkles and gray hairs that accompany the passing of another year. But for all those little one's out there birthdays are hugely important. My niece has been telling me about the "Hello Kitty-Cat" birthday party that she wants for a month now... and her birthday is still a month out. Other than Christmas birthdays may be the most important day of the year for kids.

Just one example of a birthday bow we can make

If you are anything like Sarah and I you love the idea of a birthday theme. Between my two girls and my niece we have had themes such as Princess, Minnie Mouse, Woodland Creatures, and Puppy Dogs and Kitty Cats. And that's where Tweet Cheeks Boutique comes in.

Cora's Woodland Creature birthday.. We focused on Birdies :)

For all of those mommies, daddies, grandma's, etc.. searching for the perfect Birthday Outfit for their little Angel we'd love to help out. We are currently working on a whole line of appliqued birthday onesies and shirts, which we will be unveiling very soon. We can match those shirts up with bows, tutus, leg warmers, hats and headbands. We can personalize with your childs initial, theme, or a number on shirts, bows, tutus and even pillowcase dresses.. and if you give us a swatch we can usually match your colors perfectly. Or if you have a birthday shirt already picked out just shoot us a pic of your shirt or bring it to us so we can create the perfect birthday outfit around your little one's top.

Lilly's Cupcake birthday outfit for her first birthday

We'd love to accessories your little one for their big day! Just email us at TweetCheek@gmail.com and we'll get started :)

Minnie and Spongebob :)

2011-05-03T00:41:00.000-05:00

Every little girl loves to sport a tutu. And look at the cute little tutu outfits we have come up with here at Tweet Cheeks...

Both of these outfits can be made in baby sizes (less than 12 mos) and are super cute. If interested shoot us a message on facebook or email: tweetcheek@gmail.com. And if you have a particular onesie or shirt you would like to match a tutu to we would love to work with you :)

Steelers V Packers

2011-02-03T13:08:00.000-06:00

The big game is just around the corner. So, who are you rooting for? Green and Gold or Gold and Black??

I just whipped-up a couple of cute little golden flowers with green or black centers. An adorable way for your little girl to show her game day colors! Hard core fan? We could definitely kick it up a notch for you and make you a FAN-tastic tutu with matching bows.

Taken with cell phone... crappy pic.. sorry

And really, why stop there? This is a big day... a day for body painting, jersey wearing, and all things football. That means that us grown ups can wear football clippies, team color barrettes, and team spirit ribbons in our ponytails.

lil football clippies :)

So special order your Super Bowl garb today!!

Boring Snow day + Internet = Online Shopping Time

2011-02-02T15:57:00.000-06:00

Check out Tweet Cheeks facebook page and do some online shopping. It's a great day to sit back with a cup of hot cocoa and your laptop. We have lots of new hats in. Plus I got a shipment of baby leg warmers today... they are so cute!! We've been working hard on new Valentines Day and St Patrick's Day bows too.

Here is a pic with our new leg warmers and one of Cora modeling them. She was getting crabby and not cooperating so don't mind the angry little look on her face.. lol.

Pillowcase Dresses

2010-12-17T10:24:00.000-06:00

Tweet Cheeks has something new up it's sleeve.. Pillowcase dresses. These little dresses are adorable. They are simple yet sweet and look great layered over a long sleeved shirt and leggings or in the summer as a simple sundress. Pillowcase dresses have been around forever, but are making a comeback as a fun boutique item.

Right now we have two pillowcase dresses in stock. They are Winnie The Pooh Christmas dresses. Both are the same pattern. Sizing on a pillowcase dress is fairly versatile due to the flowy nature and the adjustable ribbon neckline. The two dresses we have in stock however, are approximately 12 mos and 2T.

If you are interested in either dress or if you would like a pillowcase dress in a different size or pattern just shoot us a message and we'll get right on it!

Dollie and Me

2010-12-14T14:12:00.002-06:00

Dollie and Me is a clothing line carried at Sears, Kohls, KMart, and Amazon. The line consists of sportswear, pajamas, leggings, accessories, and of course lots of adorable little girls dresses. Each item comes with a matching doll item that will fit your standard 18" doll (for example an American doll is 18").

http://www.dollieme.com/Home.aspx

Personally, I am in love with the dresses. They are adorable! I know my 7 year old really wants one and apparently she's not the only one... I was recently commissioned to make a set of matching bows for a little girl and her dollie's dresses. How cute!

What do you think? If you are interested in matching bows for your little girl and her doll we'd love to make them!
