Quick Update...

I was speaking to someone from Steven's school today. They are holding a vendor event in December. I am hoping to have a spot there. 

My Etsy shop, and pretty much everything has been shut down for the time being. However, I continue to work on Chelsea's Limited Edition Collection.

I have also been getting ready for the upcoming holidays. In fact...I've been crocheting from my couch. Here is a little peek (I apologize for the quality of the pictures-that's also something I've been working on for awhile) 

These were some Turkey Fridgies (magnets) that I custom made for some friends; and as teacher gifts. I will be working on some other holiday items; and get them posted as soon as I can.

As I said...my shop, for the most part, is closed. However...If you know me....I will work in whatever space I can find! Please do not hesitate to ask me; if there is something you would like me to make.

Thanks again everyone, for all your patience; as we get things back in order around here.

Restore The Shore...

There are so many places that have been swept away by the recent hurricane. I am not taking any custom orders at this time. However...I will set up a donation button; if you would like to help New Jersey out.

I am actually looking into where we would like to see the donations go. I am pleased to announce that we were able to raise $50. for Hospice of Toms River last month (Breast Cancer Awareness).

Once we've decided where we would like to see our donations go; I will post briefly about it, and add the button to my site.

We are still accepting donations for Baby Silas' Family, and Chelsea. We will continue these donations through Christmas.

Thank you everyone for your patience and support. I hope to be up and running after the holidays.
Be Happy, Be Blessed, and Be Well!

Whew...Here I am....For Now...

Hello People!!!
 I am so SO sorry that I haven't been on for Soooooo long! If you know me personally; then you know exactly what I've been up to. However...for those of you who don't know me; I live in New Jersey!!!
 If that doesn't explain anything; allow me to do so now....
New Jersey recently went through a hurricane named Sandy. I know a lot of people who share that name. However, none of them are as nasty as this "Sandy" has been to New Jersey.
 Thank God our family, for the most part, has been ok throughout. Our home, while it did not take a beating; lost power several times (the last time we were without heat and needed to move).
  I am pleased to say, that I am back home; and for now, with power!!!! My shop, however, looks like Sandy had her way with it....We had to move A LOT of things that we wanted to keep dry (just in case). Plus, I had just arrived home, in time for all the festivities....
 That all being said....I am still taking orders for Chelsea's Limited Edition. Her mom Cassi told me, she is doing well; and though I haven't really had the opportunity to read anything on her website; Cassi confirmed in an email that Chels is doing well.
  Yes...I am taking orders; but I need to ask you all a favor if I may?...Please remain patient with me while I am getting my bearings back so to speak. We have a LOT going on right now; and you know me...
Family First!!!
Thank God my Core Family and Extended have all been doing well. We all continue to pray for my Uncle Pop aka Uncle Freddy Santa Clause. He is doing well; and we couldn't be happier.
Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement, your continued patience; and support.
Hopefully, when I am back the next time; I will have some goodies to post!!!
Be Blessed, Be Safe, and BE WELL!!!
~Tina

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

For the month of October...all donations will benefit Hospice of Toms River, NJ. I also have a donation button on the side of my page, if you are not in need of bows; but would like to donate.
I finally opened my Etsy Store! However...there are more pictures on my Facebook Page.
Almost everything I do (except for events) is custom/made to order.
If you see a picture you like (or think of something special you would want); just message me. I will be happy to work with you.
I am hoping to have more pictures up this week. I know Halloween is right around the corner. So I will try and make more for that.
Thank you for all your support; and orders! This has really been a dream come true!!!
~Tina

THANK YOU!!!!

Yesterday was a success!!! We raised $25.00 more for Hospice at our yard sale! For the month of October; I will continue to raise money for Hospice in honor of everyone who I've been honored to know and love that fought the great fight with cancer. Some of them are still fighting; and some are watching over us from above.
I will be releasing a line of various awareness bows all month; for Cancer Awareness.
 All month...the donations will benefit Hospice of Toms River; as well as families that I am supporting, who are actually going through the fight right now. I will continue to run my Limited Edition "Chelsea's Courage" for one AMAZING young lady! I will be adding more as I go along.

OH....AND....BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.......I chose ETSY!!!!!! Here is the link to my store.......
Teenie's Creations Shop!
I will be posting more pictures as soon as I can. Thank you ALL for your support and patience during everything!!!
~Tina

John Lennon said it best...

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". 

I have so many pictures to get on the site. I am almost all set to launch my actual website. Thank you all for your patience and support. 

Right now...Everything has been custom made; but I am hoping to have some actual stock up soon. 

I still have some back to school; and Halloween bows/flowers (pictures coming soon) in stock. 

In the meantime...If there is anything you would like; please don't hesitate to let me know. As John Lennon also said "We can work it out"!

Coming Soon

I'm sorry I haven't been able to get the new pictures up. We truly have had a rough couple of weeks.

I have been working on a lot of Back To School, Fall, and Halloween goodies.
Please remember...a lot of my bows are made on a custom made basis. However...If you see something you like..just ask if it is in stock. If it is here...it is yours. If not...I will be happy to work on a custom bow just for you.

Please visit, like and share Teenie's Creations on Facebook!

Broken Hearted

My heart is aching for my dear friend and her family right now. After 16 days of fighting; Silas has finished his race and is safely in the arms of Jesus. 2 Timothy 4:7
Silas, Aunt Tee is just way beyond proud of you baby. I am so honored and blessed to have seen how nice your teddy bear hat looked on you. I never got a chance to hold you; but I miss you so much already.
I want all of you who read this blog to know...I have been so incredibly blessed to know Valerie and her family all these years. They are sincerely the most remarkable people I know. They have overcome so many obstacles; but have remained more than strong.
SO many prayers are being sent to you all today; as you face this most difficult time. I love each and every one of you more than you will ever know.
~Tee

Please Pray...

Each day, I've been checking my friend's blog/facebook pages to see how Baby Silas is doing. When I signed on today; it brought back a flood of memories to me. My heart is breaking remembering getting phone calls from the NICU telling us "you might want to come now". It is every parent's worst nightmare. You have no idea what state you will find your helpless child in.
We thank God every day that Abygail beat every obstacle that was placed in front of her. Baby Silas has proven the doctors wrong SO many times already. I would like you to join me in praying with everything that is in me; for him to overcome today's obstacle.
We are praying for huge miracles. Silas is already an awesome gift and MAJOR miracle! I am asking God to please heal this baby; and for him to amaze us all yet again.
I am sending HUGE hugs/kisses/ and love to my Vee Bee and the entire family! I love you all so SO much!
~Tina

What made me happy today

I usually try to find one great thing in every day....Today...my "Happy" was getting to see a picture of Baby Silas with his eyes OPEN!!!
My friend Valerie started a blog of Silas' journey. She gave me permission to share their story with you. This is her site Baby Silas
Silas has been beating a LOT of the odds that were stacked against him. I believe he is a true fighter! He still has a long road ahead of him; and I am sure the family will face many more challenges.
If you would like to help the Blazer family...I have a donation button on the side of my blog.
Prayer moves mountains as well...Praying is a wonderful way to help.
I am so SO happy that I got to see his beautiful eyes!!!!

How you can help Silas and his family

This is baby Silas' family 

This story is not only near to my heart; because I am a Momma of 2 babies that were born to soon. The Momma of this family is one of my best and dearest friends. 

Silas was born on August 8th at 23 weeks. This is 4 months too soon. Silas came in at a whopping 1lb 2oz. He is 11 inches long. He is already fighting all the odds; and continues to amaze us all.
However, he and his family, have a long road ahead of them. Silas will remain in the NICU for the first months of his life.

This is not only hard on his Mommy and Daddy...Silas has three big sisters who are waiting for him at home. When a baby is this small; their parents usually don't get to hold them for weeks (sometimes months).

While it is emotionally taxing...there are also many medical bills associated with this kind of a hospital stay.

I am working on a Limited Edition collection for Silas and his family. 50% of each product will benefit them. I've set up a donation button on my page as well; to help with the medical bills, and everything else that adds up. I really want to see this family only have to focus on what is the most important; and that is bringing Silas home!! There is no set amount. 

Thank you so much in advance for what we all will do for this family!

~Tina

Also...if you crochet or sew; please keep an eye out for donations needed.

Please Pray

I'm so sorry I haven't kept in touch. A lot has been going on with my health (I am ok though). I really really really need everyone to pray for one of my best friends. They are so far away from me right now; so I know I can't hug her. However...One thing I know for sure is that I can PRAY!
Her baby Silas was born at 23 weeks. This means he is about 4 months too soon. He is strong; and fighting all the odds so far. However, they have a long road ahead of them. He is; and will remain in the NICU; until he is strong and big enough to come home.
I've already finished his blankie; and some other goodies...that are going out tomorrow. I would like to set up a way that we can donate to the family. I am working on a Limited Edition Collection for Silas; but I am also going to post a way you can donate to the family as well.
We only had to be in the NICU (the first time for 29 days; and the second for a week). It's taxing on the entire family; as well as all the bills that just add up for each day there. I would really like them not to have to worry about those bills; if I can help it.
I will try to update as much as possible. In the meantime...if you would like to donate yarn or anything else...Please contact me at TeeniesCreations@gmail.com
God Bless
~Tina

More Pictures

I am working on getting more pictures up. In the meantime...you can visit Teenie's Creations on Facebook!
If you are interested in anything you find; please just make sure I have it in stock. A lot of what I make is custom made. So, if you see something, but would like different ribbon; I can do it (as long as I have it in stock). Thank you so much for visiting!!
~Tina

Quick Update

The vendor event on Juy 26th was wonderful! I met so many great people. A special thank you to Jennifer for making us feel so welcome.
Today I went to the most AMAZING place.....(It was my Land Of Oz). It is called Stitch N' Sew Centre. I stocked up for some new things that are coming soon. A special thanks to Mary and all the staff, who answered every question I had; and made my experience there SO much fun!!!

As I get into fall (my favorite season) products...I will be working on a lot of custom made orders for back to school, Halloween, and Fall. I love the colors I get to work with. Lots of Reds, Yellows, Oranges, and Browns....Nice and warm.

New and exciting: I finally found pink (in stock) for my headbands!!! I will be posting some pictures later today.


I know there really hasn't been much posted lately. I am just working through how I want to present things to you all. As you know a LOT of what I do is custom made. I've been working on a Photo Box; so I can show you, in better detail, what everything looks like. We will then be taking pictures of the ribbon/fabric I currently have in stock. Then you will be able to "Build Your Bows"!

I apologize for the slow start; but I promise...I will make it worth your wait!
Blessings~
Tina

Teenie's Creations...A Work In Progress

I just wanted to post a reminder...Right now...I need to start out small and slow. I am still learning; and want to make sure that every product is 100%.
I apologize for not taking credit cards at this time. Also...my official Website is still in the works.
Please feel free to contact me here or on Facebook with any questions or requests. I am not happy with the pictures I've posted; so we are building a photo box!!! Hopefully things will start to look a little better. The pictures do not do justice, believe me!
Thank you all SO much for your words of encouragement; and for being so patient during this journey.
I am so excited to continue sharing my dream with all of you!
~Tina

In 1997, I was told I would never have a child. On July 5, 2004...My first child was born (8 weeks too soon). 

They told us she would never live, walk, or talk. 8 Years later...She is alive, running, and starting to talk in sentences!! She proved each and every doubter wrong!

Abygail Grace...Is the inspiration behind Teenie's Creations! 

Happy Birthday my sweet, amazing, and gorgeous angel! Here is to many more amazing years!

Ways to Order

Please visit my Facebook Page or my Etsy Store today! If you see something you like; please email me first to make sure it is in stock.

Making Progress

I have been working hard on some new bows. Please keep checking back to see the new editions. Let me know if something catches your eye.
~Tina

.com or not?....That is the question!

I've been going back and forth about making an actual site. I have a store on Etsy; but really wanted to make my own store/page.
We are currently working on that situation. I know there have been many of you eager to see a price list and even more pictures. We will be hosting a Grand Opening (info coming soon).
Each day I am learning more and more. Which means I am also making more! We just are not quite ready to go global!
I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart; for all the interest you have shown. I promise I will make you all proud. Most businesses are ALL about business....My business is "Family First". If you read Abygail's story...Then you know I have my hands full. Both of my children have special needs. Their needs always have to come first; or I would be doing this business for nothing.
Thank you so much for your patience; during this...nesting time. Please don't ever hesitate to email me with any requests. If you see a picture you like...Chances are I have it in stock!
~Tina

End of the school year

As the end of our school year is rapidly approaching...I have been working on things for my son's class. There are 13 kids total which = a LOT of sewing and bow making! Once things settle down (because it's never less than crazy here) I will post some pictures. I have some limited edition bows coming soon. All of my proceeds, from the limited editions go to the charity that is listed with the posting.
Have a wonderful and safe summer!
~Tina

Thank you for your talents!

I just wanted to take a quick second to thank every one of you who post free Tutorials. If it was not for all these selfless people...I never would be able to work from home, homeschool my daughter, and be able to donate to everyone who has helped our family!
I am learning something new each day; and it's really helping us all out. Thank you again to each and every one of the talented people who have helped teach me; and let me use their tutorials to make my own creations.
You are ALL Blessings!!!
~Tina

Grand Opening? I Promise..It's coming!!!

Thank you ALL who have been visiting the blog (JOIN PLEASE LoL)....Everyone keeps asking me "When is the Grand Opening?...Did you already have the opening? Did I MISS the Grand Opening?"
No No....None of you have missed it....We've just had a LOT going on here. (you all know my motto FAMILY FIRST)
I've been working hard, every night, making some goodies for the grand opening; and I promise...The Grand Opening of Teenie's Creations is Coming SOON!!!!
In the meantime...If there is something you are looking for; please don't hesitate to ask.
I would also like to remind everyone about the "Teenie's" If you sew, crochet, or knit, and would like to donate to the hospitals that took care of Abygail and Steve; please email me; and I will make sure it all ends up there. They are always so grateful for everything that is donated. NOTE: PLEASE VISIT THE "For The Teenies" PAGE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE MATERIALS THAT THE HOSPITALS LIKE.

Thank you all for your support as I get this all going! It's a dream come true!

Vendor Event List

Every now and then, I like to host open houses. It is a time for all local vendors to get their name out there. I do not charge anything for attending. However...You will need to supply your own table and supplies.
If you are interested in becoming a part of my Vendor List....Please  Email Me! with the following:

• Your name
• Contact Information (phone, email and best way to get in touch with you)
• The type of company (for example AVON, Tastefully Simple or whatever it is you do)
• Your company must have some form of Tax ID, EIN...Etc. For AVON and companies similar...They already have this information for you. If it is a business you started you can obtain your ID by contacting The New Jersey Division of Taxation

Please Note: These events are NOT flea markets or garage sales. They are only intended for local businesses to get their names out there; and sell their products.

Getting Started

So...It took me a LONG time to decide if I could make my dream a reality. I kept it all under wraps; because I needed to make sure it was the right thing for our family. My family is always first in all of my decisions (as it should be). God is the head of our family and I can do all things through HIM that strengthens me! So with that in mind....I just had such a peace inside; that this is a dream worth living.
I've always wanted to use the gifts that God has blessed me with; to bless others. Oh man....now is my chance and I can not WAIT to get started.
Things are so busy (great busy) right now; but I will try my best to get some things up soon!
Thank you to every single person who believed in me! There are SO many people who have touched my life and stood behind me; I pray each and every one of you know who you are.
It's very late and I have a LOT to do tomorrow. Good Night everyone and thank you SO much for stopping by.
~Tina

AMEN AND AMEN

I am pleased to announce that as of 2:42PM today....Teenie's Creations is an official Local Business!!! Thank you to our friend Barbara Smith, my new friend Lora, and especially my AMAZING husband Steve; for believing that my dream can truly be a reality!
I am sooooo incredibly blessed and walking on air!!!!!
~Tina
OWNER of Teenie's Creations!

Goooood Things are coming!!!

I've been working very hard on making Teenie's Creations a REAL possibility. It looks like (slowly but surely) things are moving in the right direction.
Stay tuned for some BIG announcements!

Trying to get back on track...

We've had SO much going on with home school, doctor/therapy appointments, and just general crafting (when I actually have a spare minute)!
I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much. I've posted some new pictures. I am still trying to figure out getting the right angle to take the pictures at (sorry for the poor quality).
Hopefully I will be able to post a little more information about everything soon. My #1 rule is family comes first.
Please feel free to share your ideas or suggestions on what you would like to see. If you have any questions; please ask.
Happy Crafting!
~Tina

Be a Blessing

I have wanted to do this site for quite some time. As John Lennon said "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans".
I am a mom to two amazing miracles anyone could ever have the honor of being blessed with. Both of my children have special needs; but it never stops us all from living life to the fullest.
I've been in and out of the hospital all my life. At first it was because of my health. After my children were born...I am sad to say the hospital remained a part of our lives.
When you've been in and out of children's hospitals; there is so much you take home with you. We have had the pleasure of meeting some pretty amazing people through some really difficult times.
I want so much to give back to some of the places that have given so much to us. Here is where I need your help...
I am looking for people who crochet, knit, or sew. I want to create a place where people can share their talents to make scary situations better for children. I remember how great it felt to receive our first handmade gift. We were in the NICU with our daughter and the nurse brought us the cutest outfit. It didn't fit until our daughter was about 1 1/2; but it made a horrible day seem brighter. I remember the smile on one mother's face the day we were able to go home; and she still had about a month left living the NICU life. I made her daughter just a simple pink blanket; and it was like I had handed her gold.
This is also a place to Craft with a purpose. For things I actually sell (bows, blankets, Etc.) I will donate money to a charity that we are either a part of or that has touched us in some way.

It's ALL about the feeling you can give people when you hand them something handmade with your heart.
