Many new things...
I worked on the website for a long time tonight and there is lots of new stuff! Check out the Tidbits link to read about most of it...Sleepy Bit Pillows, Spit-A-Bit bibs, and new pre-made items featured in a special category called "by, Kirsten." Kirsten lives with me and has been sewing since she was a little girl. She and I have begun working together (she sews, I just cut and design) making pre-made items for her to sell to earn some money for college. Right now she is making bib sets that are adorable!!! Here is one of them...
Pre-Mades
We have a new section on the website where we are featuring Pre-Made items that we have available for immediate sale. These items are priced slightly less than custom made Bits, be sure to check it out! Items will change often as new things are made and items are selling.
Here is one of our Pre-Mades for sale right now!

The Girly Bit
It's Here! One of the results of the recent web poll...a bag for little girls!!! My mom and I designed this while I was home visiting and while there her sewing machine broke so she didn't get to finish it before I left. She got it finished and sent me the photo and here it is...the Girly Bit!!!
We went shopping for tons of fun buttons to use as embellishments and each bag will be unique!We also got many fun new fabrics (also Mommy Bit fabrics), and will be adding more soon, so be sure to check those out to!
The Girly Bit paired with a matching HeadBit makes the perfect gift for the little girl who has *everything* (I know a few of those!)

The Factory
I am down in NC visiting my mom this week and will be here until Monday. I have worked with her a lot in her *factory* and am in awe of the amount of work that goes into each and every Bit. What I thought took a few minutes, takes so much longer. NOW I know why her products are so nice, she spends so much time on each one. I even watched her package up an order last night for someone and was shocked by the amount of detail that went into just the preparation for that!!! I helped her organize orders and work some, I don't know how she does it. The orders keep coming in daily too, and she still loves it! God is giving her the energy she needs to keep up with this as the amount of time and thought it takes is enough to be a full time job, yet she already has one of those!!! I am so grateful for my mom and what she is doing to help support our missionary work. I wish I could help her more. Please pray for my mom and thank God for her amazing servant's heart. I also thank YOU, people who support Little Bits through orders...thank you for your kind hearts and patience with my mom as she does this for us in addition to her full time office job. She often comments about the nice people she *meets* through this. Thank you to all of you for supporting us in this way!
Check out my new purse...
Yup, it's here! A mini-Mommy Bit! This awesome little purse fits right inside of the diaper bag to keep Mom's stuff separate and comes out when baby is not with you! I LOVE this purse almost as much as I love my diaper bag!!
New Big Bit
My mom was here visiting this past week and we had a blast hanging out together! She brought some new photos and I fell in love with this blankee she made for someone! Isn't it beautiful! 
She also brought my new *Mommy Bits* accessories! I will be posting photos soon and have them up for sale this week on the website, stay tuned!
Web Poll
It's time for another new Little Bits item and we have many ideas of what to create next. However, we need to pick one and get started and we'd love your help! Visit the website *Tidbits* section to submit your vote (the voting section is near the bottom). A huge thank you to those of you who e-mailed us your creative ideas, which are included amongst the voting choices!
New fabric in action...
Check out the new Minky toile fabric in action! My mom just emailed me this photo and it makes me wish I had a daughter (well, kinda...hmmm, not quite, but it sure is cute!).
Messy Bit
Little Bits has bibs now! The Messy Bit is available now and the Spit-A-Bit is coming soon! The Messy Bit is perfect for meal times and the Spit-A-Bit will be for babies who are teething and drooling! Visit the website to design your own Messy Bit!
The Mommy Bits Have Arrived!
The Mommy Bits are here! The diaper bag is officially for sale, as well as the changing pad to go with it! A few more accessories will be added soon! I absolutely LOVE my bag (which is the one in the photo). Be sure to check out the website to see more photos and see how to order your own! Each bag is unique, you choose your own fabric combinations and accessories. And...even though it's called a *diaper* bag, it's really a bag for anyone, I plan to use mine when we go on vacation in May (without my children!!!!)
Get those photos in...
Just a reminder to get those photos in! We have a couple of entries but I haven't gotten nearly as many as I had hoped for!!! I would love to use some of these shots on the website too, not just for the contest, so even if you don't care if you *win* something, send us your pics anyway!
They don't have to be portrait quality, just snapshots of cute kids with their Bits! Come on, dig out shots you already have of them with their Bits or take some new ones!!
Email them to: fourhinsons@verizon.net

A few new things...
I have updated the fabrics page for the HeadBits, hopefully it will help with the many orders coming in! You can get to the new page through the HeadBits link: http://www.cccphilly.com/littlebitstheheadbit.html I am currently adding more fabrics to it as I get the photos from my mom! Check back soon for even more fabric choices!
Here is an adorable new Bit of Hope pillowcase made recently, (frogs and flowers flurr and minky green dot)
You can never...
have too many Little Bits!
New Fabrics
We are expanding our "Minky" line and now have these adorable and unbelievably soft fabrics... The toile one is also available in pink, violet, blue, and sage green, and the jumbo dots come in 3 other color combos...check out the website to see all of them!
The HeadBit
In case you haven't seen it, this is the new HeadBit. A custom made headband made by Little Bits. These headbands were made as a *test* item to sell in a small basket at the MUMC consignment sale. Let's just say the test went well!!! My mom sold out the first day and had several requests for more to bring the next day. She had to go shopping that night and work all night to make more and then sold out of those! A good friend of ours from MUMC took close to 20 to a yoga class with her and sold out of all of them in one day! My nieces are taking them to dance class and school to sell them. I even have one of my own that I love, it's the one in the photo!On the website there is a page that shows various fabrics HeadBits are offered in...be sure to check it out! Here is the direct link to the HeadBit page... The HeadBit

New Website is launched!
I finally finished the new Little Bits website and even added some last minute features at the very end! I launched the new site yesterday and we're excited about it! Here are just a few of the new features...
*Products can now be ordered and paid for using credit cards or PayPal accounts through the "Place an Order" link on the website.
*I added a "recommend this site, "add to favorites," and "join this E-mailing List," to the Volunteer link to make it easier for people to spread the word and keep in touch with Little Bits. A special thank you to a good friend for asking me to add these things!
*2 brand new products, the *HeadBit* and the *Itty Bitty Ball* are on the site for sale.
It has been fun to work on the site and also to work closely with my mom, Sandi, as she shared all of her wonderful ideas with me. She had a huge success selling Bits at the MUMC consignment sale this weekend, she called in to report great sales and a wonderful response. Frank's parents got in on the action too, helping make products last night in my mom's blankee factory (her rec room)! Little Bits were sold again today at MUMC, my mom has been a busy woman this past week!

The Little Bits Blog
Little Bits has entered the world of blogging, we plan to showcase new products here and share with readers what is going on behind the scenes of Little Bits. We are expanding our product line and really everything. I have tried to get my mom to drop the whole non-profit thing and go into business and quit her day job but she adamantly refuses. She is in this as a way to help my family (as missionaries) and ministry. I have pushed and pushed and finally have accepted that this is what she loves to do, help others. The ministry I work with is the beneficiary of all of her hard work. So, as I try to help her help us, the blog is just another way! Please share this blog with anyone, get the word out and enjoy the products of Little Bits!
