New Bows for Spring!

2012-02-09T19:31:57Z

I am excited to add some new bows to my line for Spring! It has been way too long since I last posted or added new inventory. The reason for this is the addition of our new baby daughter! It has been an exciting and busy time. I am looking forward to dressing both her and her big sister up and accessorizing them with new bows!

The new photos are examples of what I have been making recently. If there is something you see that you like please visit my Etsy shop for purchasing information. If you see something you like but would prefer a different style or color please email me. I love custom orders! Some ribbons and headbands are not available year round so if you see something you like act quickly!

Girl Scout Workshops

2010-05-24T23:05:00Z

Make Jewelry while learning about the Hohokam!

Living in Tucson provides us an excellent backdrop of ancient history! Over 1,000 years ago Tucson was home to the Hohokam, learning about their culture provides us the opportunity to better understand our surroundings.

Studying the Hohokam culture encourages students to use their higher level thinking skills. As part of the workshop, the participants will use a culture wheel to break down the nine categories that define a culture, and will help them in the design of their very own piece of Hohokam inspired jewelry.

Learning Goals:
• Students will be able to identify elements of the Hohokam culture
• Students will be able to describe the importance of jewelry in the Hohokam’s material culture
• Students will be able to design and construct a beaded bracelet

Workshop Details:
• $10 per child/Minimum 6 children
• Session is approximately 2 hours long
• Students will design/construct a Hohokam inspired bracelet that they will take home with them that day!
• Bracelet materials will be presented in the form of kits (included in price)
• Children will select their own kit from an assortment of color choices
• Workshop materials can be modified for groups as young as second grade up to adult!

About the Instructor:
My name is Angela Hitt, owner of Angela Hitt Jewelry. I have been designing and making jewelry for over 14 years. Over the course of my career I have taught many jewelry classes to both children and adults.
I love teaching and have a Bachelor of Arts in Education and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. I have taught elementary school for eight years. I look forward to presenting this workshop to Girl Scout Troops!

Excellent Book

2009-11-13T07:49:00Z

I just finished reading The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. This book is such an excellent testament to the depth of friendship. I especially liked the knitting metaphors sprinkled throughout the book. I do enjoy knitting, while I'm not skilled at it, I do find it very calming. I think that one of the passages in the book speak to all crafters and the value of homemade items:

"Every knitter stitches with love, even when they are just starting, all red-faced and frustrated. Why else would we create? Especially in a world that doesn't need homemade anything. That's when we need homemade everything. It doesn't matter if things don't end up just the way you planned. Every moment is a work in progress; every stitch is one stitch closer." (p. 351)

I think with the everyday hustle and bustle of the world it is so nice to sit down and make something yourself. Whether it be a craft, a piece of art, or an excellent meal. I have been so blessed by the support of others in my endeavor to create a business from my crafting that I want to support others who are trying to do the same. I've mentioned before how impressed I've been with the quality of products on Etsy. I am going buy as many Christmas presents as I can from those with Etsy boutiques. I encourage you to look into it too! If you find a great product that you find share-worthy let me know! I will also post about the cool items I discover! Happy Shopping!

Little Diva Necklaces!

2009-07-06T14:57:00Z

I've just added new necklaces to my line. These necklaces are for that special little girl in your life who loves dressing up! These necklaces are fun, fun, fun! They are made with large, funky charms and big beads. Each necklace features an extension piece allowing you to adjust the length. The necklaces also feature beads that are lightweight to maximize wearability. As always I love taking custom orders so if there is a certain outfit that you need a necklace for please contact me. Personally, I think the perfect way to accessorize a little girl's outfit is to have both a Little Diva Necklace and Bow. So, let me know if you are interested in a set and we will work something out. Right now the necklaces are posted on my Esty boutique: angelahitt.etsy.com. Soon, I will have additional styles available at: angelahitt.com/littledivas.html.

New Little Diva Bow Line!

2009-07-06T14:13:00Z

What does every little girl out there need more of? Hair bows! I'll admit I'm kind of obsessed and probably over the top when it comes to dressing up my little girl, but I can't help myself. I feel so blessed to have her in my life and dressing her up is my way of celebrating that each and every day. Additionally, I know that the day will come when she chooses her own style, which may be something I don't care for, and at least I'll have had my fun dressing her up when she was little allowing me to support her individuality when the time comes.
Soooo....I had to start making hair bows to support my obsession with dressing her up! I think you will find that I offer a wide variety of styles and plan to keep adding more each week! I am also open to suggestions and custom orders. Check out my Etsy boutique: angelahitt.etsy.com for a variety of cute bows! Some of the bows are teeny tiny (perfect for babies) and some are more extravagant. I can add no-slip inserts to every bow so that girls with the finest of hair can still wear them. When ordering from me just note that you would like the no-slip inserts and I will add them free of charge. Hurry up and check out the bows and let me know what you think! Happy Shopping!

Little Diva Bows

2009-07-06T13:39:00Z

I now have an Etsy boutique!

2009-07-05T16:19:00Z

After months of consideration I have finally set up an Etsy shop. I hesitated to open one only because I didn't really see the point when I already had a website to sell my jewelry on. However, after a lot of research I found that Etsy has really strong marketing practices and that by listing with them it would bring more exposure to my work. Plus, I spent a great deal of time looking at other vendor's items on Etsy and I was really impressed with the quality of the work represented. I could spend hours looking at all the cute baby items that their sellers offer. So many cute handmade clothes, toys, home decor, you name it! Listing with Etsy has really inspired me to look into other designers/artists work and to seriously make an effort to purchase from them whenever I need that special gift for someone. With the current economy I really want to spend my money where it will directly help someone support themselves and their creative efforts rather than national chain stores. So please check out my new Esty boutique: www.angelahitt.etsy.com and let me know what you think! While you are there search for unique items from other vendors that you might be looking for, I assure you that you will be impressed! Also, if you look at the left side column you will notice that you can even shop locally, pretty cool!

Necklaces for the Littlest Divas!

2009-05-06T22:10:00Z

Little girls love to dress up and as a mom I know I love dressing my little girl up! Now they can have their own sparkly necklace, just like mommy! Each necklace is one-of-a-kind. Necklaces are
made with Swarovski crystal, sterling silver, and features a funky charm! I am still working on the collection and will be posting them for sale on the site soon! Here is a preview of one of the necklaces and a hair bow that will be in the collection as well.

New Website Design!

2009-05-05T09:56:00Z

Finally, I have a new website design! After completely forgetting how to make changes to my site and spending hours trying to figure it all out again, the site has a new layout! My next project is to photograph all of the new pieces of jewelry and put them on the site. I am sooo excited about the new styles. They are bright, funky, and just in time for summer! Check out the new website format: angelahitt.com .
