Backwoods Bits and Bobbles

Backwoods Bits and Bobbles Welcome to Backwoods Bits and Bobbles! My name is Melissa, owner of this shop! Shop around- you're always going to find something unique in store! Made by hand.

Follow me as I pick up new techniques, see what sticks, and attempt to show the world. Backwoods Bits and Bobbles is an exploration of Appalachian craft through sewing, painting, accessories, soaps, and much more. Backwoods Bits and Bobbles aims to spark creativity and joy in a myriad of consumers. From paintings to hair ties, to earrings, you never know what you'll find; theres always something n

ew! My lineage is filled with creators who had to fill a need: blankets to keep warm (but also look nice and even tell a story), painters and sculptors who wanted to keep their history alive through art. Made with love. I want to keep that alive. I want to make people happy. I want to take what I love doing, creating, and make other people happy. Though these things can be bought at many retail stores, I provide luxury hand made items to my consumers. I want each customer to feel like they're opening a gift any time they receive one of my products. I want them to feel the love and creativity I feel when I see what the wonderful things my family and the people in my past have made as well.

My first time on a jon boat and, I'm pretty sure, my first time on cave run lake! I think I got some pretty okay pics. Plenty of "captain Bryan" lol Gonna be playing around with my photo editor.
Saw a BEAUTIFUL CRANE- didn't have my camera even out of my bag, wasn't fast enough
Was FEET AWAY. From a deer. Wasn't fast enough. So maybe I should keep my camera on the whole time I'm on a trip. And I need to play with "sport mode" more.

I can't figure out how to put the edited photo RIGHT NEXT to the unedited photo. But, here's a little side by side comparison! I played with the "sports" setting on my camera and I think that's gonna be my go to for wild life. Yes, Tama counts as wildlife. Spoiled...spoiled wildlife. I think she enjoyed being my model

I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure if I've shared this or not. If I have and you're seeing these again I'm sorry D: BUT I know for sure there's a batch at the end y'all haven't seen! Because I took them tonight! I'm gonna play with the photo editor tonight.

I've been playing with the photo editing software my camera came with. It's very basic, but it's been a ton of fun to play with. Do these pictures look like improvements from the originals? Also, if you are in any of these photos and don't want me posting you on my business page- let me know and I'll delete it.

Batch number two of playing with my new...expensive hobby lmao. I don't know if I'm getting any better but I'm having a lot of fun! Took some pictures of some people but I'm not about to post those on a public forum. I also had two lovely folks ask me how much I charged for pictures!!! My response: lemme get better and come back to me

Hey loves got a question for you! And it's not an April fools thing I swear. Should I make more of these book covers? I've only ever made around three or four so I'd probably have to watch the tutorial on how to make them again. They're fun to make and y'all know I love me some books or anything book adjacent (my day job is. Book. Lol) So even if they don't sell I think I'd still like to make them for friends and loved ones. But y'all let me know if there's a market for em. Much love blessed be!

Pardon the mess, but, I'm done with my third ever blanket! I'm going to get the backing done on it and my second ever blanket done soon(ish)!
Not for sale just wanted to show off the almost finished product! (It's finished to me, now it's no longer in my hands lol)
