About Me
- Little Bishop Creations
- I'm a WAHM for the first time in 4 years. It's taken months to adjust and finally find a groove. I had to find a way to bring in some income and this is what it has become.

New patterns
I have so many new patterns that I am excited to share. I now have 52 different headbands available for sale, and finally got all the pictures up. Here is just a sampling.

Busy Bee
I've spent the last two days, while the kids were at school, making headbands. I have 29 completed and displayed on a rack to take to The Cutting Edge Salon. They are graciously agreeing to display and sell my headbands for me in their salon. I am VERY excited about this and I hope that it goes over well. I will leave my business cards so that anyone who wants can see the other options I have available.
Eventually, I think I will need a website that will make everything easier overall, but for now, all I can manage is Facebook. Here are a few of the new headbands I have available. Prices are still discounted until February 1. $6 for kids and $8 for adults. On February 1, they will go up to $8/$10. I've been doing well, considering I am just getting started. I sold some for the third/fourth grade girls' basketball team at Grace. A few to some moms to match school uniforms.
I am still working with the fundraiser for Special Olympics and that is going well. I'm very excited about where this could lead me and I have a possible way into another local spa, thanks to a friend. It's not definite, but a chance to get in the door, so I'll take it!

Several people have asked me if I had thought about adding buttons or something to my headbands. This was my first attempt.
Today I had a dilemma. You see, I have this purple/pink/black floral shirt. And I had no matching headband because I gave my black solid one to Katherine, after putting above ladybugs on it. So, I determined to find some way to MATCH my shirt. This is what I came up with.

Autism Awareness
I got the jigsaw puzzle piece ribbon in and am very excited about being able to offer that. I am currently helping out a friend who is doing the Polar Bear Plunge and her team. They are supporting Special Olympics, so being able to be a part of this AND offer a headband that has such is pretty awesome! The satin ribbon is more difficult to work with, and being the perfectionist that I am, I am seeing flaws and am a little frustrated, but I know that I am seeing some things that no one else will see or care about. Homemade means imperfect right? Yeah...that's not easy for me...
Anyway, here is the second one I made. The first one goes into my pile of "headbands that Jamie can wear but no one else can because there are flaws that everyone will see if they look at them". The second is shown below.

Testing the waters
While I am not new to blogging, I am new to blogging about a personal business venture. I am hoping to gain a lot of exposure this way, and I am also hoping that the Nyquil doesn't kick in before I can finish this post!!
Long story short, I got laid off in August of 2011. I wandered aimlessly for several months. I finally landed a part-time teaching gig and have in the meantime taught myself how to make NO SLIP headbands that I am absolutely in love with! I HATE buying headbands, even at Walmart or Target. They cost $4-5 for one that the kids will either break immediately, or lose. Again, immediately. So when I discovered a way to make these for myself, I had to give it a try. And now, I am getting orders coming in like CRAZY! These things are awesome! And there is so much good that I can do with these headbands.
For instance, first up, is a current fundraiser where $2 from each headband sold will be donated to Special Olympics, and we will also be featuring the Offray Jigsaw ribbon, which is the official Austism Awareness ribbon. What a great way to give back AND have something practical that you can use every day! I'll also have some ribbon to show case breast cancer awareness, as Relay For Life teams gear up to start rallying soon.
I'm really excited about offering women and girls a solution to keeping their hair out of their eyes in a pain-free way. These headbands are great for exercise, yoga, sports, every day use, etc...
Here are just a few pictures of what I have available - my girls were wonderful enough to model them for me.
