Make & Take Party

Saturday, August 10, 2013, 8am-10:30am
10648 Misty Hollow Ln, Fishers, IN 46038

Refresh your bow selection on the cheap! $15 per crafting person (cash or check) and you can take home whatever you create during the time of the party.  I love making bows but the reality is that for this season of my life with two little girls playing at home it is more trouble than its worth to have sharp needles laying about and flowers and elastic on my counters. So, let's have a party and use up all my stock!

Here's how it works: Arrive anytime during the open house. Bring your own glue gun, bag to put your bows in, any back to school outfits you want to match, and sewing scissors.  I will have supplies to make items similar to those shown below or you can get creative with what you find.  I will be around to help get you started or sew a baby band on the machine. If you have an older child that can handle a glue gun and needle you are welcome to bring them ($10 per crafting child). Babies in carseats are welcome too.  I would love to have other kids attend to play but it is not safe with extension cords, sharp objects, and glue guns. Thx!

Please message me if you plan to attend to I can have enough chairs, snacks, and needles.

* I will also have a small selection of Norwex items you can purchase Cash-n-Carry. www.kellychilds.norwex.biz

Price Increase in February

Chick Pea has been in business for 2 1/2 wonderful years! After evaluating the growth of my business, economic growth, and family growth (with the addition of my 2nd daughter) I have decided to increase prices.  All current orders will be under the previous prices.  In February I will post new pricing on my blog as well as new products for Valentines Day. Thanks for your support! I am excited to share some new ribbon, fabric and elastic with you soon that will doll up your precious little girls.

We're Back!!!

My little Anna Lee is 2 months old.   When she takes a long nap I am able to squeeze in a little bow work.  Check out my facebook page for new items.

Family, Food, & Fun Accessories

I am excited to get back to business as usual with Chick Pea.  Our family has been on what I have dubbed "house arrest" since Thanksgiving.  We are expecting baby #2 in July and I felt sick from Thanksgiving until Christmas.  Christmas, however, was magical as our 2 yr old excitedly celebrated Jesus' birthday (she loves birthdays) and the anticipation of presents. Then the wonderful whirlwind of Christmas ended with my little Chick Pea getting the flu for 6 days straight.  She just wanted to be held so I sat on the couch with her for a week. I apologize to one of my dear friends who is patiently awaiting her order as I can't find the time to get to the fabric store.  Maybe this week during Mom's Day Out...

Today I decided that I would start adding a little more substance to the Chick Pea blog.  My mom gave me The Family Dinner, by Laurie David, for Christmas and I am captivated by it.  The book champions the benefits of family dinner conversation and eating healthy. My husband's long work days, a hungry toddler, and a tired mom make it hard to pull off family dinner, so i reveled in the encouragement. Tonight we made pita pizza's (p.124) and our family discussion was "What ..." (p. 164) My daughter said if she were a fruit it would be a nugget.  Hmmm...need to work on food group identification.  When she grows up she wants to be a cow because they say moo.  LOL The food was great and a good time was had by all.

Now on to the bows...I am loving my new tiny colored elastic flower combinations for baby Chick Peas.  I am hoping to get creative with more designs this spring.  Below are a few items ready for sale.  Contact me if you interested  in adding one to your collection: chickpeahairbows@gmail.com

$3 Bow, $8 hat-Valentine Red Crochet Hat with White Ruffle Bow on a removable clip (hat size 3-9 mth)








$3- Funky Floral Basic Bow- wear it with lime, orange, or gray
