Melissa is the WAHM behind Bitty Boo creations, and one of my great personal friends. She is incredibly hardworking, and caring, and all around an amazing person. She is married to an amazingly suportive husband. She has known him for about 13 years, then they started dating about 4 years ago. They have been happily married for two years now, making a wonderful family including herself, her hubby, and his two sons from a previous marriage, and now their son Aiden. Before they were blessed with Aiden Melissa was an insurance agent. After Aiden was born premature she could not leave his side. She decided to stay home with him, which she loves! The first year was rough (as he was premature) but she loved that she was their for everything. She did not miss a thing.
She started to get anxious, like she needed to do something besides keeping her home clean and entertaining her son, and wanted to find something that was hers and hers alone. She borrowed her mothers sewing machine, and started on some projects. She had not done much sewing in the past, but she was a natural. She made a sock-monkey for Aiden, and showed pictures to a few friends, and things started taking off from there. Soon enough she had friends asking her to make them for their children. She then purchased a hat pattern and made a hat for Aiden- Again, this resulted in a lot of friends asking for them. She found the pattern she is using now (for the hat, then a few separate ears- The rest she comes up with on her own)and loves it! She loves being able to create a hat from someones ideas. She started creating a bib for her Mother in laws store that will be a future Bitty Boo product. She is creating the bib from ideas she has gathered from other moms, which I think is an amazing thing! If anyone has any kind of ideas on a hat they would like designed Melissa is your go to! Every product she has made so far has been stunning, and I have yet to see something Mel couldn't do. She is not only an amazing friend, and an amazing Momma, but she is an amazing artist!
In her future she is planning on making booties and crib slippers, and I am sure she will come up with tons of other amazing products for all of our littles. As Mel says- She would rather do a few things and do them really well, then start with a lot of things that are only good. After all- Good just isn't good enough for our littles- Right?
What I thought:
Mel made and sent me a wonderfully PERFECT hat for Zoey. The had that she made has a clip so that I can put Zoey's bows on the hat. This is just perfect for us, because whenever it was cold we could not put her in on of her cute bows (which is a must have in this house!). I love being able to get the best of both worlds. Now she is warm and so cute with her big bows! The place to attach the bows will work for any Alligator style hair bow. I fell like this one hat takes the place of so many because with all of our bows it will match everything in her wardrobe. The possibilities are endless! Melissa asked for Zoey's head measurements just to be sure that the size (by months) she had would fit well, and it fits perfectly. It covers her ears great, and because it is made of a super-soft fleece it is the warmest hat she has (and fleece is water repellent if we ever get some snow). I cannot wait to order more hats and bibs from Melissa- Maybe next time a character hat?! I would highly recommend Melissa! She is amazing!
