About Me

2009-07-22T20:17:00.003-05:00

I am wife to one, mommy to three and have a love for all things crafty. Born and raised in the South, I love lemonade and watching college football. I live for Fall and everything about it..pumpkins, leaves, football, turkey and family. Cuties has been a dream of mine for many years. I officially started offering items in August of 2009 while pregnant with my third Cutie. Cutie #3 made her appearance in January of 2010. After struggling with some postpartum issues, I left my full time outside the home job (after 9.5 years) to run Cuties for Cuties full time. What a Day! I will never forget the excitement, nerves and fear I felt as I left my office for the last time. But there was also an indescribable peace. It has been AMAZING! The Lord has blessed us more than I can describe. I love to create and it is such a blessing to be able to do what I love while doing my part to support my family. Please know Cuties is not something I do on the side or for extra going money. It is absolutely my necessary full time job and I take it very seriously.

As far as the items I offer, my first love is personalization with embroidery or applique. It makes me happy to create something special for you or your little one. If you have a birthday theme, color scheme, or idea you would like incorporated into your item..let me know. At times I offer totes, bags,and gift items for personalization. If you are in need of a gift we can work together to put together the perfect personalized item. I do accept outside items. If you have an upcoming bridesmaids luncheon, girls trips, office parties, etc let me make your gift even more special with personalization. The one thing consistent in all items is the care and attention I put into every piece. Each item is accurately stabilized, applique fabrics are secured with heat and bond and I only use the best materials.

So that is who I am..Wife, Mommy, Creative, Blessed more than I deserve and can't wait to work with you.

I know it is not a great story of being inspired or a natural born designer, but its me.

Care for your items

For tough stains (that always seem to find our children) spot treat with your favorite product, turn inside out, wash in cool water on the gentle cycle with a mild detergent. To dry you can either hang dry or machine dry on low. If you choose to dry in the dryer, remove your item immediately following the cycle to minimize wrinkling.

All of my ribbons are heat treated to prevent fraying. However, to keep them looking new you may elect to remove them (if possible) prior to washing.

All my clothing is made with your child's safety in mind. I do not sell anything that my own children would not wear. However, these items are NOT toys. Please be safe and DO NOT leave your child unattended or sleeping with bows, bands, ribbons, etc.
