Organizing Projects

Keeping your hair accessories organized not only makes you feel happy it helps keep them nicer, longer.
I will be the first to admit I was not the most organized gal on the block. But recently (Fall is my season I guess) I got to it. Here is what works for me. Maybe you'll also get inspired to finally organize that daunting bathroom drawer.

This one is a fishing tackle box that keeps all my doodads straight
Containers:
Go to the local store in the tool, gadget section. They have better stuff at a better price. I use them for organizing my business too. They have awesome mini drawers and little boxes etc. I like them because unlike the sewing organizing versions they have larger sections and seem more reasonably priced. One draw back is they come in weird colors like bright yellow. I simply bought special plastic spray paint and painted them a neutral tan. These would work great for you scrapbookers out there too and at a fraction of the price compared to some of the fancy schmancy things they offer. More practical too.


Here is my fabric ribbon board.


Boards:
I love my ribbon boards. I've seen these for sale at Pottery Barn for $99.00 and I do sale them occasionally for a much smaller price but it's fun to make them yourself and I will tell you how I do it.
Canvas Board. (sorry not pictured)
Buy a huge canvas board (available at your local crafting stores). Spray paint it (don't do anything too dark or it will take about 45 coats...I'm speaking from experience). Ivory, light pink are great options. It comes in white so there is one step alleviated if you want it white. Then take a nice ribbon and cut it the length of the board plus some to wrap around. Hot glue the ribbon down on the edges (not back) of the canvas board. Take your handy staple gun, (these are only about $11.00 and handy for so many things) staple the ribbon securely in place. If you have any extra ribbon trim it off. Next take a 5/8 inch ribbon and hot glue it around the outside covering the sides and making a nice finished product.




Fabric ribbon boards.
These are a bit more labor intensive but look so nice when complete.

Supplies:
Frame
Poster Board
Batting
fabric
ribbon
sewing machine
hot glue
staple gun
pins

Cut poster board to fit tightly inside the frame. Wrap batting around the edges by hot gluing and stapling in place. Lay out your fabric and place the ribbons where you want them (I did some close together for the small clips and some farther apart for the larger ones). Pin them in place and whip out your handy dandy sewing machine and sew them down. Now wrap your ribboned fabric and glue and staple in place around poster board. Push it carefully into the frame and staple it down. Now place a nice fabric or paper over the back for a clean finished look.

Hang that baby up and fill 'er up with NOTHING BUT CHLOE REESE PRODUCTS :)

I seriously like parenthesis (I hope you do too).

Back To School Giveaway!

This giveaway includes: 1 wisteria stretchable crochet hat and an attachable white and wisteria mixed layer gerbera flower clip, a set of pink and brown striped single hydrangea pinch clips with brushed silver brad centers, a set of peach semi-jeweled hydrangea snap clips, and an adjustable periwinkle thick fancy hydrangea cluster large adjustable headband. Now that's a mouthful.


Although not pictured separately, our newest mixed layered gerbers are a funky twist to our regular gerbers. We think you're going to love them. This one features a large white circle center for a more casual look. The hat doesn't need much explanation... it's a customer favorite for sure.

Our pinch clips are left clean on the bottom and lined with Vel-cro on top for a clean slide in and a stay put fit.
The flowers on a lot of our headbands are actually hand-sewn on. We think it's the BEST way to make sure our headbands last forever .
Our semi-jeweled snap clips are always a hit with the perfect amount of bling to really turn some heads.

Photo Shoot

Owning your own business is a lot of work but there are some super fun things too. One of which is PHOTO SHOOTS. It was crazy and stressful and the whole time you're thinking why oh why did I sign up for this...babies fussing, wind blowing, you get the idea but, then, when it's all done and you have all these beautiful pictures you forget about the drama and stress and then you think --I want to do that again! Of course there are way too many adorable shots and I'm really hoping to do a gallery on the website where I can load a gazillion pics but until then here are a few of my favs. Oh and fyi none are edited so hopefully you'll overlook some weird backgrounds, angles etc.

Hello?

I'm not sure if anyone still reads this poor neglected blog. I know I know I just have been so stinking busy. We have not been neglecting our work though and are excited for some new changes. One of which is BOY STUFF! I have two little boys and always have requests for something a little less feminine. Well coming soon is the launch of Chade & Crew. The name you ask? Well my boys are Cade and Chance so we mushed their names together and added Crew. If we have another boy I hope I can convince the hubby that Crew is a very cute and suitable name for him or he will feel very left out. We are still in the beginning stages so if you have suggestions or requests feel free to leave us a comment. We may or may not read it because we do very much neglect this blog but it's worth a shot. :)
