My latest order was for hats from a group of camp counselors. Each hat had the counselor’s camp nickname and “signature” animal on it. I didn’t ask…!

Featured Coaster - Summer Fruit (Lemon, Lime, Orange, Pink Grapefruit)

I was sitting at a picnic table, thinking of how nice it would be to have a summer coaster. So I made some!

These coasters just beg to have a refreshing iced tea or other cool drink placed on them. This summer fruit set consists of 4 coasters — Lemon, Lime, Orange, and Pink Grapefruit. The coasters can be made with plain, patterned, or small polka-dotted fabric. They are about 4 inches wide. Although featured as a set of 4, you can order as many as you need, in any combination of coaster.

Order yours in time for summer fun!

Featired Logo - Instagram Account

What happens if all your backpack lacks is your Instagram account? Simple - Add the “missing element” with a patch!



Featured Logo - Future Ferret Lover

Ferret families also wanted bibs at the last event! Again, the ferret here is like the one in the previous post, but the coloring was customized to match the coloring of their ferret.



Featured Logo - Ferret

Here’s another logo featuring a ferret. This design leans more towards realistic rather than whimsical. Again, it was done to match the coloring of their ferret.



Featured Logo - Ferrets: Not a Rodent!

Here are two logos I did for ferret folks at their last event. These show how the same design can be customized through color to match their little furry one.

Don’t forget - you, too, can be the proud owner of a customized shirt (or hat, or bag, or etc.) for your pet! Contact me to order yours!

Featured Logo - Poop Emoji

Some people wear their heart on their sleeve; others wear an emoji on their chest! This gentleman loves the poop emoji. And, well, “it” does happen!

Emojis originated on Japanese cell phones in the late 1990s, before becoming popular throughout the world. The word emoji comes from Japanese e (“picture”) and moji (“character”).



Featured Bookmark - Flower 2

May is a month for flowers! This bookmark shows an intricate flower design. Bookmarks, as with doilies, are available in several patterns and can be made in any color to fit your style!



Featured Bookmark - Religious 2

With Confirmation upon us, here is another bookmark with a religious theme. It’s muted rose tone lends itself to quiet reading.

Featured Logo - Jewelers

I recently finished a job for a commercial client, making an item that’s not in my usual repertoire — jewelry bags! In this, I worked closely with the client to create a bag that fit his branding needs.

See how these bags complement the company’s other packaging / marketing. Please check out Duke & Duchess Jewelers at dukeduchessjewelers.com and Facebook to see their handmade, high-fashion jewelry!

Featured Key Holder - Graduation

This mortarboard not only holds a key to the future, but it holds keys to the car as well! With graduation just around the corner, I thought I’d post an order from last year. School colors are always a popular choice.

Featured Logo - Combat Boots

Another design that shows support for our troops! This little baby has an uncle in the armed forces. So what better way for a new favorite niece to show her uncle how special she thinks he is!

Expecting a new arrival in your (or a friend’s) future? A personalized bib is a great way to welcome them!

Featured Logo - Catering

Here’s another way to advertise your business: Say it on an apron!

An apron with your logo on it projects a professional image while advertising your catering or other food-service business. Aprons come in several colors, including royal blue, red, and orange. Pair one with a personalized ball cap, and it’s a great combo for working booths at summer fairs!



Featured Logo - Wedding 2

April Showers bring May Flowers, and the month of June brings Weddings! A personalized gift is a perfect idea for that special couple to help commemorate their day! This wedding pillow order was placed by a woman who was inspired by my last set of photos, and customized to match the couple’s décor. Why don’t you order now -- June is right around the corner!

Pillows are nice keepsakes that have a practical side. They can be nestled in a chair or placed on a couch or bed for show or for comfort. And pillows are not just for wedding dates! They come in different sizes and can be made in any color with your choice of design (including monograms) for any occasion or sentiment.
